Today I research an article highlighting the addictive nature of Everquest the MMORPG and contributed on the white paper memo's solutions part of the project. I also with Jim's help, edited and finalized the memo to turn into class tomorrow.

Over the last decade, child predators have been using the internet as a base for soliciting underage children for explicit illegal actions. Although tough monitoring by police and child abuse prevention groups, chatrooms/social networks still pose a risk for those underage and not aware of the dangers of social online predators. Children need to be more educated in the areas of knowing who is posing as an online predator and how to avoid engaging in private conversations for the prevention of the child becoming a victim. Online predators are prevalent all over the United States and action needs to be taken accordingly in order to protect the young children of the country.

Most of college students by the end of their freshman year have probably experimented with alcohol. Even so, some may already have in highschool. This problem of underage drinking is a persistent problem throughout all universities in the United States. Many don't understand the reprocussions or the effects of this behavior will have on their lives as they get older. Parents are not aware of the dangers these students face when they participate in underage drinking. Not enough is being done on campuses to combat this problem and many feel that it's the norm of all colleges, that people drink. Underage drinking can lead a host of problems even during the student's time in college, affecting many different areas of their life. Administration, students and Greek society in the United States universities must take a stronger look at underage drinking and try to limit this epidemic which affects many young adults here in America.
