Guide : Hello, Sir. I'm your tour guide, Is it your first time to this place?
If you have any questions while we're going along, please don't hesitate to ask.

Tourist:
Yes this is my first time here and I have a question I want to ask.

Guide:
Sure, what's that sir?

Tourist:
Where's the best place to take a beautiful scenery around here?

Guide:
Well, that's a tough question. There are so many good scenery. My personal favourite is Kuta beach.

Tourist:
How do we get there?

Guide:
I'll point it out when we pass it. It's going to come up on your right in a few minutes.

Tourist:
My daughter wants to know if we're going to visit any theme parks today?

Guide:
Theme parks?  No I'm afraid all of the theme parks are further into the city. We're going to be staying near the coast today. I can give you a map of the city, though. It shows where all of the castles are.

Tourist:
Sorry, I have another question.

Guide:
No problem. It’s my job to give information sir.

Tourist:
Are we allowed to take pictures once get to the Kerang Museum?

Guide:
Ofcourse you can, it'll be waste if you don't take pictures of this wonderful museum.

We'll break around noon and meet back at the bus at 13:45.

Tourist :

Guide :
Here is my name card sir.

Tourist :
Thanks Dika for all the information.

Guide : you are welcome sir .see you later.






























Video Games Violence Opinion

0 komentar
Many believe that violent video games should be banned, claiming that they bring negative effects on people especially children. Some even say violent games make people commit violent acts. These games do influence human behavior, which isn’t always positive, but this does not mean that they should be banned.

If a child began playing violent video games at a young age, then they might think that violence in real life is the same as the game violence and that it doesn’t have a real impact on others. However, most children can distinguish between virtual violence and real violence.

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine conducted a survey of 44 males and discovered that after 30 minutes of playing violent video games, subjects showed “increased activity within the amygdala (part of the brain involved in emotional arousal).” When the same group played non-violent video games, the opposite effects were seen. Doctors concluded that more research would need to be done to prove that playing violent video games increases violent behavior. Thus, this study provided no conclusive evidence that video games cause aggressive behavior.

People often try to excuse their actions and find a scapegoat. Some blame music, others movies, and some blame video games. People seem to have forgotten that our world is a violent place. Years ago video games were innocent - “Pong” in the 1970s and, in the 1980s, “Pac-Man.” In the 1990s “Mortal Kombat” - a violent game - became popular. 

Today games are extremely violent. For example, the “Grand Theft Auto” series. In these games the main character is a man who has connections with the mob. Players can steal cars and money and even murder. This game isn’t an evil, conjured-up thought of some sick person; these things happen every day.

The evolution of video games from innocent to violent reflects our society’s evolution. Much of the daily news focuses on war and murder. Video games just reflect our violent world.
 

Some countries have resorted to banning video games. Australia currently holds the record for the most banned games. Most were banned because of their violent content, which led to censored versions being released. Germany has banned “Mortal Kombat” due to its violence, as well as a couple of games containing Nazi symbols. The U.S. has not banned any video games yet. Saudi Arabia hasn’t prohibited violent video games either, but it has banned “Pokemon: Blue” for allegedly promoting Zionism.
