the first one is about how violence may be caused by everyone bringing backpacks around: this can be one of our arguments for disallowing them at school.

the second one is about how cell phone use increases with more people bringing their backpacks to school: this can be our second reason for disallowing them.

and tomas, the one that you found in class is a good one about how the heavy backpacks are extremely bad for our backs and can cause serious long-term back problems. this can be our third argument for disallowing them.

now, we just need a few arguments for allowing backpacks at school.
