My thesis for the last paper was on how realism in the serious games is needed for them to het there message heard.

Direction of paper

The dicretion want to take it is either how religon warps ethics, how it difine it or a combination or the two. With the first I would be discissing religous fantisim and how it can subvert ethics. Then i would give examples as well. With the second I would dicuss how religon defines ethics in alot of societies. I woul focus on theocracy and things of that nature. The last one I would conbine the two and talk about how religon and ethics tend to warp one another for good or bad.

Were video games to blame for massacre?

Pundits rushed to judge industry, gamers in the wake of shooting

I believe that they are right in saying that it is unfair for people to jump to conclusions and play the blame game. As a gamer I am shocked that people would unjustly blame video games for the reason why there are school shootings. They say in the article that after the police searched cho's home and found no video games Jack Thompson still would admit that he jumped the gun and was wrong. The fact that he refused to admit that he was wrong shows something very vicious about him.

Can video games improve driving ability?

I think that it is very intruging how video games have become so involvesd with everyday life. It seems to me that driving simulator would very much help everyone to learn to drive then slowly get them on the road. It is a great concept for this new age.
