It's the holiday ason and that means kids by the millions are asking Santa for the opportunity to blow away enemy soldiers andaliens on the Xbox or PlayStation. Would parents be worried about 1buying such gifts? Violent video games are now an established part of our culture; recent releas of games such as Call of Duty:Modern Warfare and Skyrim have tting sales records for media 2releas(topping even blockbuster movies)and garnishing lavish reviews for their artistic merits. Ten years ago, 入党宣誓图片
scholars andp
oliticians raid the possibility such games might contribute to 3school shootings or other youth violence. Our modern fears over Violent video games appear to be inline with prior moral panics over media as diverly as jazz music, 4comic books and Harry Potter. Granted, too much passiveactivity, including video games, can contribute to obesity. Unlike 5anything el, gaming should be enjoyed in moderation, balancedwith outdoor activity, allowed enough time for family and 6schoolwork. A very small number of kids exhibit signs ofpathological gaming. And regarding concerns about aggression, it 7appears to be that, fairly early on, children learn to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and their brains don't treat thephenomena the same. Santa Claus is a primary example. Despite 8that not only their parents but all of society conspiring to lie to 9children about the reality of this fellow, children can reason out theimprobability of its existence by the mid-elementary years. With 10tho kinds of reasoning powers, kids can handle a video game that doesn't even claim to be real.

For most of American history, business were run to provide livelihoods and "reasonable" profit. In the last few decades,though, business and society in the general have moved toward 1emphasizing profit maximization and individual lf-interest. Thetransfer from "reasonable profit" to profit maximization has 2significant implications for corporate behavior and governmentregulation. However, how society views the purpo of the 3corpo小鲸鱼图片
ration has significant implications not only for business, butalso for the perceived responsibilities of its civilians, their 4interactions with each other, and their obligation to their fellow countrymen. Today, it is uncommon for corporations to direct their 5attention to rving for shareholder and management interests, and 6to achieving the highest short-term financial return. Not only has this view become commonplace in society and the economy, it has permeated educational institutions and affected how young people e the role of corporations. Lost in this orientation, though, is a n of the corporationas a creature of the state, created and gave special powers and 7privileges by the state. The historic balance between "we" versus"me" has shifted dramatic toward a focus on lf-interest at the 8expen of societal interest. The result ha
s been a decline in broad social and economic values in favor of viewing the corporationsolely a vehicle for personal financial enrichment.

For years, nonprofit hospitals have shied away from quantifying the amount of ch公主的故事
aritable care they provide communities. Hospital officials argue that it's almost impossible toput a dollar value on charity and doing so would take valuable 1time and resources away from actually rving the need. 2 The charity question is significant becau nonprofit hospitals get major tax breaks. Also, becau of loopholes in state laws, nonprofit hospitals are often permitted to make huge profits. Tocomplicate things further, the 2005 Government Accountability 3莴笋丝怎么炒好吃
Office study concluded that, when it comes to charity care, t
he "differences between nonprofit and for-profit groups were oftenbig." To make up for this, nonprofit hospitals tend to arrange deals 4with city and state governments to provide "payment in lieu oftaxes"(also known as PILOT programs). But for the payments 5often don't equate the hospitals' overall tax benefit and are 6perceived as acts of good faith to show that hospitals are playing nice with their communities. Recent economic downturns, therefore, have shined a 7detective's spotlight on the amount of charity care hospitals provide. Investigative reports have shown up in Atlanta, East Bayand Boston newspapers question charity care policies. The Boston 8Globe report calculated that Boston's "10 leading hospital companies benefited from an estimated $638 million in federal,state, and local tax breaks as well state discounts on borrowing in 92007, which accounts to $264 million more th江汉大学分数线
