Violence among young people has increased dramatically over the past 50 

years.  This rise moves in tandem with a growth in violent media.  Thus, the 

conclusion can be drawn that violent media is the main cause of violence 

among young people.  Refute this claim.

As more and more students enter universities, academic qualifications are 

becoming devalued.  To get ahead in many professions, more than one de-

gree is required. In the future it is likely that people will attain a number of 

degrees before even starting work.  This is an undesirable situation.  Take a 

stance and respond to this argument.
