How Did It Spread?

The Spread Of Christianity In Europe

As the Roman Empire fell, various groups from the North and East moved into Roman lands. People created states, and the people that created these states called themselves kings. These kings would fight causing Europe to divide into many sections. People hired monks and missionaries to help spread Christianity. One famous missionary is St. Patrick. We still honor him on St. Patrick's Day.


My Opinion

In my opinion, I think it took a while for Christianity to spread in Europe. Even with all of the help from monks and missionaries, it still took a while for people to convert.
 This shows people are not willing to change their religion for no reason at all.

Is It Okay?

Does Violent Video Games Lead to Certain Behavior?

A recent debate going around is, should kids play violent video games? Studies show, kids that play violent video games had been in more fights than kids that don't play these games. Are these video games the one to blame? Some kids say they see these violent characters and do what they do.




My Opinion

I think kids are responsible for their own actions. I've played violent games before I never felt the need to act like any characters in the game I played.
