"INTRODUCTION
Television is a pervasive element in American society today and is seen as having a great deal of influence, especially over the young. Numerous concerns have been raised over the influence of television and the impact it has on American social values. That impact is often negative, though perhaps not intended to be so. Television from its beginning has presented itself as a reflection of American society rather than a means of shaping it, yet critics charge that television does shape values and often does so by negating the social values considered most acceptable by society at large. The excuse for doing so is that the fact that people watch shows that they are not offended by the values seen on television. However, many people are offended and have challenged television to promote values beneficial to society..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the apparent effects of TV violence on aggression in children and adolescents have long been suspected. The writer points out that the effect of violent video games on children's aggression is not so well known. This paper explores the relationship between exposure to violent television and video games and the development of aggression in children and adolescents. The paper explains that this link is extremely important because in recent years in North America there has been a noticeable increase in children's violence. The writer maintains that if a strong link can be found between TV and video game violence, this could have implications for reducing and controlling the degree of violence that is presently witnessed in society. The writer concludes that the research into the effects of TV and video violence on child and adolescent aggression suggests that a certain child or adolescent under very specific conditions will very likely act out aggression after viewing a violent TV program or video game.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sherry conducted a meta-analysis of research into video games and found that the effect of violent video games on aggression in children is less than what results from violent TV programming. The video games studies ranged over the 25-year period from 1975 to 2000. An analysis was made of all the studies during that time by analyzing the results of those studies. The effects of the more violent and graphic games were compared with the less violent games. The most important finding from this meta-analysis was that the longer the children were exposed to violent video games, the less of an effect was produced on aggression. It appeared that the children and adolescents had to be already angered and aggressive before the video game began in order for it to produce any effect. Other researchers have also observed that video games are different in their effect on aggression from TV. According to Browne and Hamilton-Giachritsis, video games merely amplify the effect which already exists of aggressive feelings and thoughts in the child or adolescent."

TV Violence, 2008.
This paper discusses the effects of TV violence on its viewers.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that both the critical and non-critical debate about the effect of television upon its viewers seems to have begun somewhere probably in the first week or so of the sets being introduced to the public. The consequence of the appearance of television itself was immediate and profound both sociologically and psychologically, as well as economically for some industries. The writer points out that the influence of this medium on our culture as a whole is enormous, for both good and bad results. TV violence has become an extreme issue for the conservative to derogate and for the liberals to defend. The writer discusses what is the reality of the effect of TV violence on us today and especially the more impressionable children that view it. In particular, the paper discusses the current state of the debate and attempts to separate fact from fiction, both on screen and off.
From the Paper
"This same study also inferred that if children, with the help of their parents, take more control over their leisure activities that they may be able to take more control of themselves and their behaviors overall. There is another benefit in that when parents show they are concerned and take an active role in their child's wellbeing, this has the effect of children who see adults caring about them and not just using TV as the built in babysitter. Jones feels that cutting overall consumption is really the key and violence is only a small sub issue over which very little evidence is clear on direct connections. And what is clear is often not very convincing."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that statistics on television viewing in the United States indicate that an average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day. The writer points out that it is obvious that an activity carried on for such long periods would have a profound influence on the person's life and on the society in which he lives. Whether the effect of television viewing is predominantly negative or positive has been a subject of intense debate for a long time and valid arguments can be found on both sides of the fence. The writer concludes that there is an urgent need for parents in particular to establish healthy television viewing habits in their homes, so that excessive TV watching does not replace other important healthy activities necessary for the balanced development of their children.
From the Paper
"Another disturbing and well-researched negative effect of television viewing is the link between violence in television content and aggressive behavior. Research shows that two-thirds of all television programming contains violence, an average hour of TV viewing contains four to five acts of violence, and children's programming , such as cartoons, average 20 to 25 violent acts every hour. If we add all these violent acts together, it would indicate that the average American child has seen 100,000 acts of violence and about 8000 murders on television by the time they leave elementary school. What is worse, many TV shows glamorize violence with violent acts being depicted as a fun and effective way to get what one wants and without consequences. Since most children imitate what they see, watching violent TV programs teaches children that violence is an acceptable way to solve problems in real life. The effect of TV violence does not remain restricted to children: for example, a study that tracked about 700 boys and girls for 17 years also revealed that aggressive behavior induced by watching TV violence at an early age persists well into adulthood. Moreover, repeated and constant exposure to TV violence makes children desensitized to real world violence and the human suffering it causes. It can also traumatize young children as they cannot fully distinguish between fantasy and reality and can come to view the world as a mean and scary place."

Abstract
The study investigates the effects of television watching on students' study habits. The author hypothesizes that television viewing would have a negative impact on studying habits. The results of the study suggest that males are less likely than females to view television in a negative light. The results of the study further suggest that most students view television viewing in a positive light, despite research suggesting that television viewing may have negative consequences, including inspiring more aggressive emotions among younger viewers.

"Gunter & Mcaleer (1997) suggest that children approach television in various ways, hence television may affect children differently. Their examinations suggest that gifted students are more likely to enjoy educational programs compared with traditional students. Further the authors find that television may have a direct effect on children's ability to develop basic skills including reading and writing in part because television affects their attention and may impact their motivation specifically for learning (Gunter 7 Mcaleer, 1997)."

From the Paper
"Television viewing has become one of the most prevalent pastimes in the United States, with violence one of the most common acts portrayed on television shows, network and cable alike. Because of this, social psychologists have studied the effects of violent television on aggressive behavior.
The two major theories concerning television aggression are frustration-aggression and social learning; each theory makes different predictions about the effects of television violence. The frustration-aggressive theory suggests that viewing an aggressive act will lessen the instigation toward future aggression. If children vicariously experience aggression by watching violence on TV, they should therefore be less likely to aggress. Social learning theory, on the other hand, suggests that witnessed aggression leads to more aggression rather than.."

Abstract
This paper examines the use of negative campaigning mentioning how Abraham Lincoln, one of the most respected politicians in history, resorted to mudslinging, the most popular form of negative campaigning. The author defines negative campaigning, gives examples, gives various views of negative campaigning, looks at its different aspects, illustrates how it works, and looks at its negative effects.
From the Paper
"The United States has a history of negative campaigning that is hard to shake. Abraham Lincoln, who is considered one of the most respected politicians in history, resorted to mudslinging, the most popular from of negative campaigning, during his career (Swint, 1998). Lincoln often mocked and mimicked his opponent's appearance, speech and mannerisms during campaigns.
But the politicians are simply giving their audience what consultants and some researchers say is most effective.
To date, there is inconclusive evidence that negative campaigning will lead to backlash from voters. In fact, many researchers say that negative campaigning makes voters feel more secure in their decisions about candidates. Additional research shows that the use of negative campaigning provides candidates with a larger audience and creates more of an impact on voters."

Abstract
The controversy over negative campaign advertising amongst political opponents has been the source of much debate in the past few years. The 2002 American congressional election proved to be no exception to the use of negative ads. This paper provides information concerning the issue of negative campaign ads. It explores the statistical data available about the subject and the effects that negative ads have on the voting public. In addition provides information concerning the impact of negative campaign ads on candidates and political parties.
From the Paper
"In another election featuring Myrth York as the democratic candidate for Governor and Don Carciri as the Republican Candidate negative ads also played a role in the loss of the election. By all accounts York was ahead in the polls but her negative attacks against he opponent proved to be her undoing. This was the second time that she had run foe office and in her pervious attempt she had also lost because of negative campaigning. In the most recent instance the ads that she promoted rubbed constituents the wrong way and proved to be unfounded. This is yet another case of a candidate crossing the line and engaging in negative campaign."

Negative Betas, 2006.
This paper analyzes the concept of negative betas, which are used to evaluate the volatility of stock prices.

Abstract
This paper explains that the beta in an investment scenario, which is a measure of the magnitude of the systematic risk involved in an investment, is either positive or negative depending on the positive or reverse movement of the return of the investment in relation to the market trends, taken on an average. The author points out that negative beta stocks are rarely found in the real world markets since they are seen to go against the trend of the market; however, one possible sector, which has negative beta stocks is the gold industry that normally goes against the trend shown by equity markets. The paper relates that, in consonance with the capital assets pricing model (CAPM), the market-driven price of a security would vary in accordance with the variation in its beta. The paper includes a formula and table.
From the Paper
"But during the last few years, it is quite evident that amidst political uncertainty that has risen in the world that the price of gold has shown material gains when equity markets have indicated recorded sharp decline. Similarly, another commodity that has performed quite well is the oil. As with gold, the oil prices have suffered over most of the past two decades, while the equity prices evidenced a rapid growth. It is only during the recent years that the oil prices have indicated a recovery. The present political uncertainty has made the situation extremely problematic for investors."

Abstract
This paper analyzes whether the political theory of negative freedom is a persuasive argument. It looks at the underlying concept of negative freedom and its interpretation, and the opposing views of negative freedom. It concludes that although a flawed argument, it is supported by solid theories, therefore is persuasive.
From the Paper
"The concept of freedom is a core value of society, many believing that a greater amount of freedom will lead to a greater and more fulfilling lifestyle. As a result the concept has been subject to a range of philosophical discussions, in particular the balancing of freedom and order. For example, by limiting freedom through laws which prohibit certain actions such as murder, greater freedom is enjoyed by other members of society. Mill (1982) even suggested that intervention by the state is only viable where one persons actions would cause harm to another. Negative freedom is the dominant concept of liberals, distinguished to positive freedom by Berlin (1969) in his article ?Two Concepts of Liberty?. Negative freedom refers to ?the sphere of action within which an individual is left alone to do or be whatever he or she may want to do or be? (Carter, 2002). Through close examination of this concept, it?s interpretation and opposing views of freedom, it?s validity as a ?persuasive? theory can be inferred."

Abstract
In this paper the author makes a psychological analysis of a 16 year old youth who is demonstrating various recognized symptoms for negative affectivity. The author looks at all of the symptoms and attempts to asses what has led both to the symptoms and behavior of the youth. The author considers the youth?s relationship with his parents and siblings and also the effect on the youth of his brother?s death.
From the paper:
?Vacillations such as declaring himself an atheist one minute and praying to God the next Caulfield is in a flux of coming to terms with his own identity, not an uncommon trait among teens. The difference in Caulfield's behavior and normal ?growing pains? are the extreme inter personal negativity, paranoia (e.g. knowing he is going to die from cancer because of a canker sore), and the descent into delusional behavior (e.g. speaking with his dead brother).?

Abstract
This paper examines how, like television, video games have been seen to have negative effects on the players - mostly children. It asks how do violent games effect children?s behavior; and is there any effect from autonomous play verses cooperative play. Gender issues are also analyzed showing differing levels of violence between boys and girls. The paper provides a general background and history of the development of video games. Commentary on the outcome of these effects are also discussed, primarily the rating system introduced in the early 1990s.
From the Paper
"In 1971, Arthur Bushnell, the inventor of Atari, came up with a revolutionary game: Pong. Pong was a lot like Ping Pong with simple rules: Get the little ball passed your opponents paddle. It became extremely popular. After Pong the next hot game was Space Invaders which was released by Taito in 1979. It was a ?shoot ?em up? game that also was loved by millions worldwide and soon gained a massive following. Soon after this Pac Man became the most popular game. Pac Man was a simplistic game: Take Pac Man around the maze and eat all of the dots, but avoid the ghosts: Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde. If you get a power capsule you can eat the ghosts. Pac Man was an overnight success that really established the future for video games."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the use of steroids. The writer explains that steroids require a prescription from a doctor before purchase. The writer then describes the method of use of steroid medication. Further, the writer discusses the negative effects on the body of such steroid use.
From the Paper
There are so many different anabolic steroids that have been devised however each requires a doctors' prescription to be dispensed by pharmacies. The anabolic steroids can be taken--entered in someone's body--in many ways such as orally, rubbing onto the skin in terms of creams and gels, and also injected. Just as diabetics using insulin, the medication has to be used in a circular motion around the body. For example, a person injects themselves in the abdominal area, left arm, right arm and back to the abdominal areas. In addition, the steroids have to be taken in multiple doses to gather the effects and it is very addictive. "Users also frequently combine several different types of steroids in a process known as stacking"."
