A Modest Proposal was a satirical essay written by Jonathan Swift depicting the horrific conditions of Ireland and the lives of the Irish people in 1729. Swift writes the satire disguised as a social planner of the time who as Swift satirizes were known to be overly rational rather than compassionate. The author portrays and attacks the cruel and unjust oppression of Ireland by its oppressor, the mighty English and ridicules the Irish people at the same time. However, Swift's opposition is indirectly presented. Jonathan Swift is able to do so by using the persona, irony, and wit in order to expose the remarkable corruption and degradation of the Irish people, and at the same time present them with practicable solutions to their economic

Introduction: Heart rate is the measure of beats the heart pumps per minute. A resting heart rate for a normal healthy individual is between 60-100.

This experiment was performed to answer the question “How do video games effect heart rate?” Many people play video games today, and it helps to know what is happening to your body as you play the games.

To many, the violent video game industry has turned all adolescents into mass murderers. However, they’re absolutely wrong. Very seldom do adolescents who play violent video games commit acts of violence, and the ones who do usually have a mental disorder. Instead of blaming the tragedies that occur on violent video games, the news media should explain to people that a large percentage of young males play violent video games, indicating that the two are uncorrelated. They should alternatively research other possible solutions to the crisis. In lieu of negatively affecting people’s lives, video games could potentially improve their lives!

Video Games cause social isolation, for example a 15 year old boy in Sweden pass out after playing World of Warcraft for 24 hours straight, he passed out because he started experiencing social withdrawal, the kid was lacking contact with other humans, and his body’s response to the problem was to pass out. On an extreme level, Ruya Cunningham, a college student spent twenty hours a week playing video games, she eventually “dropped out of school, stopped exercising, and even stopped bathing” (Marcovitz 70). Later on, Ruya Cunningham developed depression, but she kept playing video games because she was addicted to the game. When people are addicted to a game, there is a spiraling vortex sucking the gamer away from society and from sanity. As a consequence of playing violent video games, many teen gamers struggle with real world relationships, this is because they form close virtual relationships with people they meet online. A man in Wisconsin has formed a tremendously close relationship with a group of guys he plays online with, he discusses politics with them and they send each other Christmas gifts even though they do not know each other (Marcovitz 70-72). Video games can also affect the players mental and their physiological state.

Age ratings of video games are used in the United States to examine inappropriate content from those considered “too young” to view it. There are many details of a video games content is taken into a consideration when rating it. Such as levels of violence, occurrence of vulgar/perlative, and fleshly images and situations. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a self -regulatory organization that assigns age, content ratings, enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines and ensures responsible online privacy principles for the computer.

In the year 1972, something happened that would forever change the world of home entertainment and personal enjoyment. The first video game to break through the confines of reality, was a game called Pong. From Pong, to Call of Duty, people come a long way in the world of video games. However, some games have struck up controversy with their gratuitous violence and their questionable motives. It has become so controversial, that it has been taken up and noticed by our own government. So, what’s the problem with violent video games, and how can the next generation be protected, so that they will not get influenced by these games in real life?

Controversy about video games continue to escalate between parents and gamers, regarding the psychological effect of simulated, realistic, and 3D violence on the minds of young children and growing teenagers. Yet, research shows that video games contribute very little to today’s everyday violence, despite complaints and concerns that games influence a child’s normal behavior. Technology is a way of life in today’s world, computers are used by toddlers, adolescents, and adults alike.

Gaming, the growing titan of the media industry, has affected almost everyone in some way, even if they do not play games themselves. Everyone knows at least one person that plays games, and whether they play them on a computer, a console, or a mobile device, their gaming has most likely affected their relationships and health in some way.

The two games mentioned prior, one being a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) and the other being a fitness game, are completely different, and thus, effect the people that play them in different ways. On top of that, the differences between these two games are just an insanely small snapshot of the variety of games.

This variety of genres attracts many diverse groups of people, and this allows gaming to effect large groups of people in a multitude of ways. At face value, it may just seem like a form of entertainment, but this power that video games have over significant portions of the masses allow them to change how people interact with themselves and others. There are several positive mental and

Although these facts are partially true, there are positive effects of playing video games in some ways such as entertainment, development of social interaction and movement skills.
