While video games are for entertainment, they can also be for learning and for telling valuable stories in unique ways. There are a lot of video games out there that have rich and meaningful stories-- stories that could be just as powerful as a book or a film. ]]> 2018-10-31 14:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/298985543 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101480 Number 3 because why would you inoccent animal what did they ever do to you some dog or cat do harm people usesse you harm them.i say let save some pet]]> 2018-10-31 17:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101480 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101669 I am responding to the argument about should football only be for adults and I disagree because if you are not strong enough don't play the sport because football is a tough sport so I believe any age should be able to play football.So I strongly disagree with the statement only adults should play football.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101669 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101712 I am writing about no kill animal shelter should be the only shelters that are available i feel very strongly about this topic you here and see so many stories on how some shelters have killed animals all animals deserve the will to live and the only reason animals should die is if they are so very sick and there is really no cure ]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101712 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101713 I am responding to the argument that says video games have no purposes outside of entertainment.I believe that video games are not for entertainment purposes only as they can teach people valuable lessons and not just for learning. Video games can also teach problem solving skills.

Take the LEGO games for example, the entire games are based around problem solving and while not as complex a story as most games, the puzzles can be pretty challenging sometimes (especially when you're copy isn't allowing you to interact with something integrable to the progression of the story *insert inhale emoji). 

A game that has one of the best stories I have ever seen and deserves to be experienced by all is the Marvel's Spider-Man game released on September 7th of this year. The story is rich and just as enriching as any movie or book. The fall of Otto Octavius into the man he is at the end of the game is heartbreaking and one person's death at the end of the game is also heartbreaking (the end is a bunch of tears to be honest). 

As a counterexample, take a story such as Star Wars Battlefront II's, a lazy written game with a story that explains a lot in-universe but is not a very good story. I played through that story when it released on early access on November 14th, 2017 and I finished it in the morning of November 15th, 2017. It was only 4 hours long and was not worth while whatsoever. 

Many games have great stories however, I am not able to play many games to experience them because games are EXPENSIVE (they're actually underpriced compared to production cost to unit cost though) so I am not able to experience many amazing stories. 

All in all, games have stories that you need to experience, can teach life lessons, and problem solving skills.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101713 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101727 I am responding to the argument about how should professional sports players be role models or not.  Professional sports players should be role models, they are role models now.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101727 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101742 I'm responding to the argument saying that there should be no-kill animal shelters. I don't think that animal shelters should kill animals if they have not been adopted or they are just older. The only way I think that animals should be put down is if it was the best for them or they were absolutely miserable. ]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101742 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101790 I am responding to wether or not we should have no kill vetranaries. I honestly am not sure if we should have them or not because if an animal is in pain, it should't have to live through that. But I also think that all animals should have the chance to live a nice, long happy life, even if they may not be adopted. I know for a fact that a lot of people just want kittens because of how cute they look. But I love all cats, and I think they should be loved like I love them.

       I think all situations like this should be handled this way becuase ALL animals deserve the chance to live. When animals that are in good health are put down just becuase they aren't being adopted, maybe some other person out there hade wanted that animal, and they just took away the chance of you being able to give that animal a good life.
          I mostly disagree with putting down animals unless they are in pain. UNLESS THEY ARE IN PAIN. If they aren't in pain THEY DESERVE THE CHANCE TO LIVE. Just like us humans, would you end a persons life just because they haven't found love yet?
NO YOU WOULDN"T. I just think animals deserve as many rights as humans do, about every year, 7.6 million animals have been put down. Most of the reasons are just because they haven't found homes

The rainforests are more than just for wood and space there is all kinds of life there and it would be like someone burning down your house. You wouldnt like that would you so we need to stop. Many animals already have been pushed out of their habitats and die. We people are killing our Earth and this a reason why what happens when its all gone, The Earth will be unfit to live on and the human race will die out.Why do animal suffer so we can live like slobs. That is why I think we need to stop cutting down rainforests.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101820 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101847 I'm responding to the argument, "We have an obligation to take care for the worlds rainforests." We really need to take care of the environment because the rainforests provide food, wildlife, and most importantly oxygen. They also help with pollution. If we forget to take care of our environment we will all die along with the rest of the Earth's inhabitants.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101847 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101908 I'm responding to the argument about football being dangerous for certain ages. I think football is a sport for all ages. I think all ages should be able to play because littler kids play flag which isn't very dangerous. Older kids and adults play tackle football which isn't that dangerous with the right body wear. I think football is a great sport to play and watch and everyone should be open to playing it.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101908 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101944 I'm responding to argument about whether football is too dangerous and if you have to be an older athlete to play. Football is for athletes of all ages and everyone should be able to play. With every sport you have injuries and protective gear that prevents them. Football has protective gear, helmets, and pads. The athletes need to be aware of the injuries, but it DOES NOT mean that they cannot play. ]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101944 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101977 i´m responding to the argument about how everyone needs fresh water, the answer is simple YES because without fresh water you cant make things like medicine also without fresh water it would be VERY hard to survive so that is why everyone needs fresh water.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299101977 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102003 Im responding to an arguement about how youtube isn't a real job.

People spend HOURS maybe even DAYS making a video]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102003 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102008 I'm responding to the argument that dance ISN'T a physically demanding or a competitive SPORT! I think that is totally ridiculous thought because dancers work so hard to hold your core, keep your toes pointed, have a pretty face but change it up, and look good while doing. Also the outfits are layered or full of itchy sequins and are very uncomfortable. On top of that you have to remember AT LEAST 2:30 of choreography. If you didn't this fun fact pointe dancers (those are the dancers that dance on top of their toes) are dancing on top of wood or cardboard with only a small layer of like cotton and if your a professional pointe dancer you will have to deal with toenails falling off and bleeding feet. SO NEVER EVER SAY DANCE ISN'T A PHYSICALLY DEMANDING OR COMPETITIVE SPORT!!!

We also do not inherit the earth from our ancestors we merely borrow it from future generations.Nobody wants to let someone borrow something from them and have it handed back destroyed and that is basically what we are doing we are also destroying our future by cutting them all down we need to cherish and respect the land we are are borrowing.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102021 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102030 I am responding to the argument about everyone having access to fresh, clean water. I think that no mater who they are, everyone should have access to clean water. Evereryone needs water to survive.  If that water isn't clean, people could easily get sick.  This is why I think that everyone should have clean water to drink.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102030 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102123 I am responding to the argument about the society should have programs that help the homeless.  I totally agree and I strongly support this argument.  Just because homeless people don't have money, doesn't mean they don't also deserve a life.  Homeless people are just like everyone else and they deserve the help they need to get back on their feet. For example, a lot of homeless people were at a job but lost it due to a family concern or something. It's not their fault their homeless so they deserve help from the society.]]> 2018-10-31 17:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102123 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299102347 I am responding to the argument of "Cartoons are only for kids".

Some animal shelters whenever they start getting over populated they get rid of some of the animals in not so humane ways. I think that cities should set aside more money for adoption centers and shelters. I think that the way animals in shelters are treated is not the best and that they should be treated better. The way money is distributed is that it ends up going to unimportant or less important things, instead of saving animals.]]> 2018-10-31 17:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299104854 https://padlet.com/elisabeth_alkie/vhd1o9h52od3/wish/299105561 I am responding to the argument that cartoons are only for kids.
