Gotterbarn: Video Game Analysis

One thing you wouldn’t know about me from my application is I go overboard. I tend to follow questions to their logical conclusion, then go beyond that to their absurd conclusion as illustrated by my devotion to Academic Bowl.

The Ethics Game Simulation is a tool created to teach how the decision-making process affects various stakeholders, and the ethical value of the decision determinations. Business organizations have encountered new challenges of ethical awareness with the increased globalization of industries and markets. People of many cultures, social statuses, and religions are joined in various business opportunities and projects via the World Wide Web. Core values of many companies must consider general humanity as the employee versus specific geographic regions of people and societies.

Ethics can be defined as the principles, norms, and standards of conduct governing an individual or group. Business ethics involves employees, managers, and other important members of the organization. In the ethics simulation one was responsible for making important decisions regarding the company G-BioSport. Before making these decisions one had to go through four different lenses and steps of the critical decision making process. These lenses included the Rights and Responsibility lens, the Results lens, the Relationship lens, and the Reputation lens. After thoroughly going through each lens, one was able to make decisions based on virtues, values, and

Sitting in a chair for hours on end, the body deteriorates from negligence. The different video game genres help fulfill basic psychological needs too, but can lead to a secret underlying problem. Playing for days can certainly feel like a medication taken everyday and life spinning out of control

As stated earlier, there are several good learning principles that video games teach, which in turn complements learning. Video games allow students to explore roles and environments that would be otherwise impossible in a real-world setting. This principle is identity. Students learn a new domain by first experiencing/playing a new identity (Gee, 2005). In this identity, whether it is one created by students or a pre-created one that they take on, students observe value and work in the world, the way that their new identity does. In these games, students have the freedom to make alterations to the environments that they are in. Also, there are exposures to different time periods and extraordinary events. Reflection based on this data, reveals significant usage opportunities in subjects like social studies; timelines, time periods,

Ever since the first video game came out people have been inventing more and more realistic games and parents just keep on blaming games for the terrible decision their kids are making. In the book called From the Heart Land I found an interesting research finding published in Child Development “children seem to be able to process only one type of stimuli at a time.” This research finding just makes me think that games can be good because it helps their stimulus. First, we will talk about how games are not affecting the decisions the people are making. Second, we will talk about how playing games can benefit people. Finally, I will talk about serial killers that were affected by psychotic break down and not games.

The ethical game simulation is designed to provide insight to ethical dilemmas faced in business organizations and the lessons learnt assist those in the management positions, employees and other partners to make critical decisions that if taken lightly could lead the business down the drain. The decisions reached are to be ethical in that they have to follow the standard conduct governing the organization that is morals and values and ensure increased ethical awareness ADDIN EN.CITE Schrier20109(Schrier & Gibson, 2010)996Schrier, K.Gibson, D.Ethics and Game Design: Teaching Values Through Play2010HersheyIGI Global9781615208456http://books.google.co.ke/books?id=vKFdDHDFNmoC( HYPERLINK l "_ENREF_1" o "Schrier, 2010 #9" Schrier & Gibson, 2010). In the following discussion, we look at the process through which one undergoes to make decisions by weighing options and the best alternative endorsed in a repeated and experiential manner.

The consumer video game systems offer an exciting opportunity to discuss and analyze the design of technology based on the strategy of each of the players within the industry. We will focus our analysis on the next generation of video consoles: Nintendo’s Wii, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3).

You, for the most part, are either good or bad and the narrative typically plays out accordingly – sometimes rendering judgment. I find that open ended narratives work better in Mass Effect, where the decisions of your actions aren’t always so black and white: choosing to destroy the data earned by illegal vivisection means you won’t be able to save a character later down the line. Morality in video games – and ‘good’ and ‘bad’ endings – is an interesting and still developing facet of gaming that’s arguably limited by tech and designers’ patience. I’m undoubtedly curious to see how video games handle this going forward – especially Bioware’s upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda. The virtuality of gaming makes for a fun space to try things and see what happens, consequences are great, limiting gameplay less

Neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley of the University of California in San Francisco found a game that was called NeuroRacer, he studied and examined the game and discovered that it could help the elderly to improve their ability to multitask and focus (Abbott 2013). According to Abbott (2013), studies have been recorded and shown how the patterns of the brain activity can change as the cognitive skills develop and improve. Sixty-five-year-old Ann Lindsey began to worry about how quickly she has become distracted, "As you get older, it seems to be difficult to do more things at once," she says (Abbott 2013). Lindsey participated in a study to examine whether playing a game could improve fading cognitive abilities in older, she was surprised and impressed

The way that a player interact with a game is the same way that reader interact with a book or the way that a viewer interacts with a film or a piece of art and that interaction itself is psychological emotional experience. The only way it defers is the way is the physical aspect. Unlike films or books just rely on the viewer imagination and emotional response.

As technology moves forward, there is more information that needs to be preserved and carried on to the future besides books, websites, and databases. Just like technology changes so does culture where values, beliefs, and behaviors of a community continue to grow. The past few decades, videogames and online videos is subject that has grown to be part of many cultures. Some organizations do not believe that videogames and online videos are not part of valuable culture development that is worth being archived and to not want to participate in the process. The purpose of this paper is to argue that videogames and online videos need to be archived to represent the change within our culture. This point will be demonstrated with three articles.

In a third person shooter game, the player’s character is seen on the screen whereas in a first person shooter game, the screen is viewed through the eyes of the character. The video game industry has made great advances since the 1970’s when gaming images were simplistic and therefore not very graphic nor realistic (Gentile, Lynch, Linder, & Walsh, 2004). Nowadays, with the prevalence of highly violent and realistic video games involving person-to-person brutality, there are rising concerns regarding its effects on users real life thoughts and behaviors- particularly in youth.

Stories are the telling of chains of events that follow a character through a hardening journey as the audience tags along and shares the experience as if they were in the position of the character. Stories are not only told in books. Storytelling is told in many different forms of art such as in poetry, music, and movies. However, there is one other form of storytelling that is on the uprising--it’s video games. The twenty-first century as we all know is the age of the millennials and technology plays a huge role in everyone 's life as it continues to improve as we advance through the years. One major concept that separates storytelling in books and movies from video games is that in video games, you are the character. You are put in the experience and call the shots on the decisions that the character has to make in the game. The main thing that is so captivating about video games is that it’s immersive. The players who play as the characters in the game establishes a bond with them and the players also become emotionally attached to the characters that they 've journeyed with throughout the story. Regardless, all forms of storytelling are made of the basic story components and have many benefits that can be obtained by reading or listening to a story.

This is also true while analyzing sports in real life. People participate in sports for different reason. Some participate as a recreational thing or some for time pass, while others participate in sports as an industry and as an business environment. Some represents their country in different sport as the playing behave of their nation so ethics and moral values plays an important role in it.
