Effects of Violence in Movies and Video Games Emerging controversies on the real social effects of movie and video game violence create never-ending debates between the game industry, broader society, and players. Scientific studies continue to examine the links between violent films and video games and stereotyping, sexual morality, violence, aggression, addiction, and general sexual development (Drummond & Sauer, 2019). Makers of violent movies and video games defend them as expressive media. In their arguments, the protagonists of extreme films and video games argue they are educational tools that should enjoy protections that govern free speech (Tsesis, 2016). Antagonists reason that movies and video games with violent content bear harmful effects on social development, especially for children (Ferguson, 2015). If a product carries harm to society, restrictions and legislative oversights apply to its sales. Detractors pray for regulations to the sale and usage of violent movies and video games as harmful products. It is inconclusive whether extreme films and video games have positive or adverse effects. While some researchers found no evidence of intemperate human behavior associated with movie and…

One way to enforce collective bargaining agreements One way to enforce collective bargaining agreements is through arbitration. Organizations apply this method to settle disputes arising in the course of implementing collective bargaining agreements. The arbitrator listens to the grievances of the two parties in dispute before offering a remedy. An equitable remedy is likely to prevent employee strikes (Corby, 2015). Additionally, the neutrality of an arbitrator offers the aggrieving parties a sense of consolation; the arbitrator will give a just remedy. Five principles guide the arbitration process. According to Carrel and Heavrin (2013), these principles stem from the court’s decision following the Steelworkers Trilogy, among other cases. The first principle implies that parties can only arbitrate a conflict they both agree to submit to arbitration. Carrel and Heavrin (2013) note that the court decides if there is a dispute to arbitrate. Secondly, the court is not supposed to determine the merits of the grievance, even if the cause for conflict seems petty. Also, resolving doubts should be in favor of labor contracts coverage of disputes. The fourth principle requires that…

 Games of Thrones review In all the eight seasons of the Games of Thrones, the stories give significant life lessons. Although the scenes depict plots on sexuality, gore, twists of life, there are undoubtedly good teaching moments from the film. The movie shows different characters and their quest for power and ways to survive in a somewhat chaotic and unpredictable life. One essential life lesson that we can gather from the film is the psychological insight into why we should embrace our identity. Tyrion quoted, “Never forget what you are the rest of the world will not wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.” The phrase was to demystify the fact that we should embrace our cultural heritage as it is the best thing to do. Tyrion was advising Jon Snow that he needs to remember his royal roots and disregard the notion that he is a bastard. Similarly, the quote applies in my life about not forgetting my culture, beliefs, and traditions. The experience of watching the movie and seeing how the quote…

Dubbed revenue relies a customer to pay for a single running game.

Do Violent Video Games Cause Violent Behaviour? The tremendous advancement in technology has played a significant role in the entertainment industry. Advancement in technology has made games grow to be practical in nature, and the involvement of teenagers in these kinds of games has continued to grow exponentially over the years. Nevertheless, the main point of focus today in these video games is the violence involved and the killing of enemies. This scenario brings out a candid question in the minds of everybody: are these video games the cause for gamers, especially teenagers, to act aggressively or in a violent manner? Just like most of the teenagers, I also play violent video games, and I tend to believe that spending most of the time playing violent video games might interfere with the behavioral patterns of the teens, making them aggressive or violent. Spending lots of time playing violent games could provoke teens to act aggressively. In his report “After New Town,” Jeffry Brown, in the video, ‘Can Violent Games Play a Role in Violent Behaviour,’ reaffirms that killing of enemies…
