Playing Video Games Vs. Sports

         Playing video games and sports are two very different things. First of all, playing video games has many disadvantages such as your eyes being damaged, or it can also be a distraction from studying. I think video games are not good for you because it may be a way of relaxing and leisure but it has bad deprivations. I would rather not play video games because they aren't good for you. On the other hand, playing sports is very good for you because you can stay healthy and have bigger muscles. You can grow your endurance and strength. Staying healthy is very important because it prevents illnesses and diseases. I think sports is very good for you because you can have lots of fun although playing video games can be fun as well. As well on the contrary, video games can be fun but they aren't good for you because it can be a big distraction for you can you can damage your eyes. They both differ in many ways, but for me, I would rather choose to play sports because it can be fun, it helps you stay healthy, and you can become stronger. In my opinion, playing video games and sports are very different.

Should Zoos Exist?

                                                                Should Zoos Exist?

               A zoo is a place where animals are kept far away from home; the wild. Many activist and animal lovers are complaining/ protesting of how zoos shouldn’t exist. They say that this is harmful to the animals and that they might not be treated as they would like to. In my opinion, I think that keeping animals in the zoo is not good, because the animals belong in the wild and they deserve to be kept where they belong. One reason animals are kept inside zoos are that it is a very good form of entertainment and recreation. Many children and adults visit famous zoos to see endangered animals or to study animals. Another reason is that it brings visitors and children closer to nature. The visitors can go to one place and see many animals from all over the world in one place. It makes it convenient for the visitor. Zoos also create a source of income and employment for many people. There are many jobs such as zookeepers, security, and cleaners. I think this is very important because it gives many animal lovers opportunities for jobs to help their families. Some zoos are also research facilities which have benefits such as that there are more jobs given out, and that we can learn about the animals better. The disadvantage of zoos is that some animals aren’t treated properly and they make the animals live in cages far from the wild. After all, I think zoos shouldn’t exist even though there are some benefits. They are harmful prisons for the animals and they should be kept in the wild. In my opinion, I would protest against this if it became a tremendous problem.
