This summer i spent most of my time playing golf and playing video games. The game i enoy most is call of duty. This may not relate to very many issues in the world but it does relate to war that is going on in the world. It is a fairly violent game but it can educate you about some very important issues. By playing it you can get a better appreciation for the people who serve to defend our country. It also makes you realize how lucky we are to live in a country that is not constantly ravaged by war and where we are free to live how we want. This game also gets you to see the poverty that exists in third world countries. When you walk through streets in the game you can see how different people in other countries live compared to us here in Canada and you can better appreciate what we are given.

interesting way to think of playing video games, though maybe your golfing experiances could have opened up discussion about how much money is being spent on our luxuries as opposed to what other third world countries have. Cute article though.
ReplyDeleteThis may be the most obvious activity pertaining to world issues, however you should remember to think about the little, mindless things we do: buying groceries, watching movies, etc, since they all relate to world issues in some way.
ReplyDeleteThe simulation of war in video games often disconnects the user from the tragedy of dying in armed conflict. Call of Duty is certainly a glorification of war in this regard. My question for is whether war in general is needed resolve certain global issues? Does the game itself carry this ideology that war is necessary for peace?
