The topic I have chosen for my essay is nr 2: ‘Does the extensive use of computer/video games have an adverse impact on the health of young people? What are the most recent papers? Clarify what both sides of the argument claim and only then offer your reasoned opinion based on facts.’
So what I am going to do is:
- - Doing some research on papers that involves computer and video games and how they affect young people today.
- - Sort out what papers are more recent and relevant for young people today, and then compare them to the older papers.
- - Do a discussion augmenting both sides
- - Write my conclusion and reasoned opinion based on my research and facts. ______________________________

What opportunities can you find for political participation via the internet. How many of the following can you achieve while sticking to your political beliefs?
* Sign an e-petition.
At first I had no Idea what an e-petition was. I’m not sure if I want to sign one because there is nothing at that I would die to sign my name on at the moment. I don’t like signing random stuff just out of the blue without knowing if it’s a scam or not. There are so many fake “e-petitions” out there that’s out to get your personal information and scam you.
