Virtual Worlds are Useful for Children
_____________________________________________________________________________
A research report says that virtual worlds can be
important places where children practice what they
will do in real life. They are also a powerful and
attractive alternative to more passive adventures like
watching TV. The research was done with children
using the BBC's Adventure Rock virtual world, aimed
at those aged 6-12. It surveyed and interviewed
children who were the first to test the game.
The online world is a theme island built for the
BBC's children channel by Belgian game maker
Larian. Children explore the world alone but they use
message boards to share what they find and what
they do in the different creative studios they find
around the virtual space.
At times children were explorers and at others
they were social climbers eager to connect with other
players. Some were power users looking for more
information about how the virtual space really worked.
The children could try all kinds of things without
having to be afraid of the consequences that would
follow if they tried them in the real world. They
learned many useful social skills and played around
with their identity in ways that would be much more
difficult in real life.
According to the study what children liked about
virtual worlds was the chance to create content such
as music, cartoons and videos.
The publishers of the report say that virtual worlds
can be a powerful, engaging and real interactive
alternative to more passive media. They urged
creators of virtual spaces for children to get young
people involved very early on because they really do
have good ideas to add and they are very good
critical friends.

_____________________________________________________________________________
“For two years, Johnny, a quiet 13-year-old, was a human plaything for some of his classmates. Thagers badgered Johnny for money, forced him to swallow weeds and drink milk mixed with detergent, beat him up in the restroom and tied a string around his neck, leading him around as a ‘pet’. When Johnny’s torturers were interrogated about the bullying, they said they pursued their victim because it was fun.” (Excerpt from a Norwegian newspaper article cited in Olweus, 1993.)
Bullying among schoolchildren is certainly a very old phenomenon, though it was not until the early 1970s that it was made the object of systematic research. Though this research originally focused on Scandinavia, by the 1980s bullying among schoolchildren had attracted wider attention in countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.
A broad definition of bullying is when a student is repeatedly exposed to negative actions on the part of one or more other students. These negative actions can take the form of physical contact, verbal abuse, or making faces and rude gestures. Spreading rumors and excluding the victim from a group are also common forms. Bullying also entails an imbalance in strength between the bullies and the victim, what experts call an asymmetric power relationship. (…)

According to the text, it is correct to state that:
I – The author of the article makes use of another publication to corroborate his ideas.

IV – In the 1970’s, bullying was considered an issue only among minority groups.
V – The interviewed bullies mentioned in the text tried to explain their actions by making use of humor. a) Only II is correct.

Bullying at school: tackling the problem
Dan Olweus, Research Centre for Health
Promotion, University of Bergen, Norway
_____________________________________________________________________________“For two years, Johnny, a quiet 13-year-old, was a human plaything for some of his classmates.
