Hyperlink Assignment

Christine L. Wrote about the importance of parents in the lives of children. What if she explored a world in which children were born into a world without any parents at all. Where babies and children didn't rely on parents but instead some other source of "parenting." How would these new "parenting" sources change the type of people we are today and what would it say about how much our parents affect the lives of their children.

Kyle K. Based his essay on the stresses the teenagers face and how some have chosen the "escape route" of suicide.  What if he looked into the possibility of a teenager that had made the decision to commit suicide because of the pressures that he's facing but couldn't die.  It would take his attempts at suicide to give him a new outlook on life.

Phil Z. Was confounded by the discussion of the influence of video games on young minds and how it creates an aggressive nature in kids. So what if he looked at it in a new light.  If the moment you started playing video games, the player was sucked into the game and was actually the protagonist within the game. Soon kids would start gaming every night but some begin to be consumed by the gaming world and  begin to act the way they do in the games in the real society.  What kind of world would this create and would children start becoming more aggressive?
