Siblings... Sweet or bitter

 They all seem so innocent don't they... The truth in the matter is that they will turn on you in a heart beat, they never get in trouble nor is ever to blame. Sisters and brothers all alike look out for only one person, themselves !                                                         
They look just so cute and dandy no one would ever know...

Not so much anymore eh ? Looks can be deceiving, remember evil !

Cellular Devices

   The blackberry, i-phone, and whatever you want to call the rest... Cellphones. All of them practical and useful within reason. It starts becoming a problem when you can't leave to go anywhere without it. Especially as a teen, you get use to always having it. It becomes addictive and that can be scary... going into a technological world half blind unsure where it may lead even though there has been many insight into it. This idea is everywhere in every source of media out in the world lots of propaganda for it. They make it sound so cool and use "easy on the eyes" actors to advertise them to make everyone want the new "hot" thing. This is a thing to be feared of..
   It looks so harmless doesn't it ?

Comic Books Everywhere

   The classic comic book consists of a hero and a villain. Good vs. evil, where good normally triumphs over evil. This however is not always the case. The comic book sets up the viewer to believe that good always wins, sadly it doesn't, maybe in comic books however reality isn't a comic. The good fall and the evil arises not all the time, but it happens more then one would think. In ones opinion this could set the reader up for a huge disappointment in there life, expecting nothing to go wrong and make it 'big' so to say, therefore when things don't fall through they blame them self when in fact that's just reality. So next you read a comic remember it's just a fictional story! No one can fly, nor can they lift a bus into the air or shoot webs from their hands.

It's not all fun and Games

   Video games are a mass sorce of media that inspire fear through the gamer. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/interviews/2004/08/videogames_culture_of_fear_an_interview_with_emily_newton_dunn.html is a interview with Emily Newton Dunn demenstraits this well. Often most video games have real fears incorporated into the game itself, things like the environment, surroundings and conspiracy theories all have a part in creating this 'fear'. An example of a video game that could be considered to inspire fear and is played by a world wide population is C.O.D (Call of Duty). This game is all bout the Wars (WW1, WW2 etc..) the objective of said game is to basically kill the opponent. The setting of each game is set in a real world destination (normally a war ground) and the people in the game have human qualities therefore your killing other people so to say, it all seems very real to the gamer which in reality can be scary. Children of all ages play and for what ? The thrill of the kill ? It creates the allusion that war is fun, and happenes all the time when in fact thats not the case. We do not want our youth to think that killing and war are fun this is a great fear many parents have beceause of video games and it's not just C.O.D it's all the violent, strong storyline, and psychological games that mess with the gamers mind.
