From NurtureShock:
In his new book, Dr. Joe Allen has concluded that our urge to protect teenagers from real life – because we don’t think they’re ready yet – has tragically backfired. By insulating them from adult-like work, adult social relationships, and adult consequences, we have only delayed their development. We have made it harder for them to grow up. Maybe even made it impossible to grow up on time.Basically, we long ago decided that teens ought to be in school, not in the labor force. Education was their future. But the structure of schools is endlessly repetitive. “From a Martian’s perspective, high schools look virtually the same as sixth grade,” said Allen. “There’s no recognition, in the structure of school, that these are very different people with different capabilities.” Strapped to desks for 13+ years, school becomes both incredibly monotonous, artificial, and cookie-cutter.

Ok, let’s keep ignoring any societal factors for these problems and lump it all on entertainment mediums. But what do I expect from DailyMail?
Just a Sessler’s Soapbox to top off the gaming theme of this past few posts.
Infinity Ward Pulls Controversial “Grenade Spam” Clip - News - GameInformer.com
~Is it that hard to get? It isn’t about whether they intended to offend anyway; those words have a very powerful and damaging history attached to them. I don’t see why you would want to admit not thinking about what you call people; that is just callous and a total disregard to any sense of mutual well-being. It is offensive. That really isn’t up for argument.

~This is an awful video. I’m really disappointed the outrage hasn’t been louder. Not only is the the acronym offensive, but many people failed to point out the sexism in the video as well. Satire of online game culture or not, the video is poor done, and the idea that pussy or fag is acceptable language needs to not be shrugged off. You don’t say, “well thats just the way it is.” No, you actually work towards making that behavior against social norms rather than being the social norms.
