This principle is established to ensure that jurisdictional disputes do not result in delays of health care services provision to First Nations children. The “child first” Policy addresses jurisdictional disputes between various departments while examining barriers to services and the range of care for First Nations children.

Advantages of the “Child –first” Policy

1. This Policy is compensatory and has led to achievement of equitable access to services. This comes after long periods of sustained suffering among the First Nations peoples due to jurisdictional disputes. The Policy is a significant boost to First Nations children access to health care.
2. The Policy is valuable since it harness the diversity within Canadian society. In a special way, the policy helps Canada to take care of its marginalized population by ensuring that they equal opportunities for all especially in health care.
3. Similarly, the Policy makes the playing field even for all ensuring that every child has an equal access to health care and other social needs irrespective of race. This provides equal opportunity for all, hence boosting the capacity of First Nations to break off from a discriminative system.

My job as a Waitress at Olive Garden:

When I got a job at Olive gardens, it was that of a waitress. I would work in a restaurant which belonged to our neighbor at home. I thought that for me to be a waitress, I only had to be friendly and ensure I took my orders from the clientele who would perhaps provide to me a generous tip for taking note and writing all their orders without errors. In my first few weeks there, I was required to follow what the other waitresses and waiter were doing. I had to sound and seem professional, which I believe I was.

Introduction

Playing video games is perceived as an exciting aspect of the media landscape and, has experienced a lot of expansion in the recent years. There has been a rise in the number of children who use video games in many parts of the world particularly at the United States (Hagan,et al. 2002). Among children in the United States, video games’ playing hours have increased from 4 hours every week in the 1980’s to about 13 hours per week in the recent years. Video games have also taken much interest or attention from the public whereby there are controversies regarding first person shooter games (Anderson, Gentile & Buckley, 2007). Various studies have shown that violent contents in video games desensitizes players especially children to the real world violence. When players become desensitized, they tend to increase aggression and decrease their empathy. Other researchers have indicated that playing video games among the children does not lead to significant aggressive behavior since the effect sizes in the meta-analysis may be an outcome of publication bias. Despite pressure from society, a lot of video games contain a considerable amount of violence. Violent games are seen to promote feelings of excitement, satisfaction and empowerment among the players (Hagan, et al. 2002). However, Przybylski et al. carried a study on video games and concluded that the desire and enjoyment for future play were linked to the competence and experience of autonomy in the video game and not the level of violence. Different scholars have argued on the negative and positive effects of playing video games among the children. This paper will discuss the various effects of playing video games among the children. This paper will also show that Video games have negative effects on children’s lives. They cause social effects on children’s lives and they increase violence among children (Sherry, 2001).
