Oasis: Simulation Analysis

Through playing this simulation, I was taken aback on lifestyle, the stress I got from just playing this game, and the realization that people have to live through this. In my opinion, if a person works a 40+ hour week they should be able to make enough money to live. It was astounding to me how many decisions where thrown at me and even worse was that they were all plausible. From the car breaking down, child getting sick, food, responsibilities to the work, and not to mention any other financial responsibly. It came to point where all the decisions were financial dependent and my eyes would dart to see how much was in my balance and the thing that gets me, is that even though I didn’t go to a concert with my friends, got the lowest insurance

The government’s role for the people is to challenge them like how contestants from “The Amazing Race” or “Fear Factor” are challenged. Government should be like a reality competition show filled with adventure and danger (Amazing Race, 2003) (Fear Factor, 2005). Just like the government in “The Hunger Games” (Collins, 2008). People should compete for rights and liberties. The competitions can be held under the government’s supervision. These competitions can involve multiple life daring tasks and only the ones that survive win. The losers or the ones not so fortunate die in the process, a true fight to the death. Government works from a federal standpoint and does not get involved in local affairs.

Day two (Friday) was the most productive day of the simulation, as we were steadily improving at participating in the simulation environment, and used our time more productively. During day two, our (US) long term solution was shut down, but the dire need for a solution grew with “mail” that was sent to the countries during break and caucuses. So, the class made up a short term solution.

When my group and I got a chance to talk about the simulation and how we can relate it to someone in Greensboro, we initially thought how hard it is to get from one place to another. We imagined just walking to the Friendly Center from campus to Harris Teeter for groceries then back home. All of us would try to call up a friend or relative to come pick us up. Whereas people walk that much, even more every day because they cannot spare $1.25 for a bus

Included in our course materials are simulations designed to enhance what the Pearson Government in America textbook teaches. The first three simulations were: You Are James Madison, You Are a Restaurant Owner, and You Are a Police Officer. Judging by the titles, thought I would enjoy the James Madison simulation the most. I enjoy learning about government and I thought the Madison simulation would interest me the most and would be the one to which I could best relate.

Government protect us in many ways. I can see that each states are better in their own ways because of government. The community look nice and beautiful. As I learned the six purpose of government, I know more about how and why each country are different. In United States, the purpose of government are to create more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our children.

The simulated nation of Paxony is a democracy, and abounds in natural resources. It also spends lots of time forging new ideas and fighting over land strips, while also being susceptible to many terrorist attacks. For these reasons and several others, the simulated nation of Paxony most closely aligns with the political systems, ideals, and history of the United States of America.

Imagine trying to let go of all of your personal opinions, stances, and personality traits each time you walk into a particular room. Sounds somewhat difficult, right? Well, it is, and that is exactly what I have done each Monday and Wednesday from 2pm to 3:20pm these past few weeks in my Urban Politics class. This is because our entire class participated in the Camelot Simulation, where everyone is assigned a role to “act out” in a fictional city. To explain in greater detail, I will give a brief summary of the simulation and my participation in it, then I will analyze a major issue our city faced, and lastly, I will share what I learned about urban politics and policy through this exercise.

Phoenix Simulation: two words that ignite an unparalleled sense of excitement in gifted and talented students at Allen High School. Between the adrenaline rush of scurrying to win the space race in, “Apollo 13.5” and the shock of discovering that the only thing in between the Cowardly Lion and bravery was Dorothy and her lack of red shoes in, “She’s Still in Kansas”, Phoenix Simulation 2017 did not disappoint. However, those feelings pale in comparison to the anticipation, the anxiety, and the sense of authority felt in Camp Feenicks. By far, Camp Feenicks was the single best station at Phoenix Simulation this year as it best exemplified the objective of exhibiting the relation between causes and effects and it did not leave those eliminated from the camp out of the overall experience.

Everything in life is not perfect whether it concerns humans or even the government. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, government can be defined as, “the group of people who control and make decisions for a country, state, etc.” Government can be organized in variety of ways, in order to control a civilized society. For example, a government can either be structured as a presidential system or even multi-party parliamentary system. The United States government uses a presidential system in order to govern their nation. However, Professor Christopher S. Allen believes that the United States presidential system contains many flaws. Professor Allen’s reasoning that the multi-party parliamentary system may help overcome the core institutional blockages of the American presidential system is correct because it would result in an effective form of government where voting rates, costly campaigning cost, confusion of roles and political accountability would mend the political structure in United States leading to prosperity for the nation.

In the fifth grade I want to spend the summer with my cousin's year. She's my dad's twin’s daughter so that makes us more like sisters. During that summer she introduced me to this game called The Sim. The Sims is a life simulation video game series developed by EA Maxis and published by Electronic arts. The purpose of this game is to create humanlike characters called Sims and you as the player get to direct their life. You control whether they get jobs, start families, or cause trouble. For a couple of hours, in my case six hours minimum every time I play, you play God and are in complete control. After that summer I was. I have my parents purchased the latest game and I kissed my life goodbye. Over the course of a nine years I have wasted

Despite constant political arguments, or bashing on current leaders, the government is necessary for a society. Whether you go left or right, up or down, or stand still, the purpose of government remains: to protect the citizens of the nation, create efficient systems for the wellness of the nation, and make guidelines for the morality of generations to come.

The role of government has developed throughout the years changing the way we view and act in society today. For example, the national government ensure that the citizens of the United States are all treated equally, applies law and order, and provides opportunities. The government has changed dramatically since we now have social media, newspapers, and the radio. However , not only has the government provided a strong impact in society in a positive way, but it has also impacted the society in negative ways. As a nation the public has found many imperfection in our government that they want to change. Public opinion has caused negative feedback through media and political participation . The government is trying to help the people by

I represented Nouri Al-Maliki the prime minister of Iraq. The prime minister in Iraq makes the executive decisions. Over the course of this this simulation thankfully I gained a lot of knowledge of how crazy it can be on the political side of things. Not only did I learn about Iraq but also I learned many new things about other countries and the way their governments run things. In the next year or so I will graduate as a High school social studies teacher and after doing this simulation I learned how valuable it can be to allow students to be apart of a simulation. The simulation helped me catch up with a lot of important political issues of current and past times.

\textcolor{blue}{The aim of our work is to propose the modeling of sleep states and validate the implementation of these sleep states in Cloudsim simulator. We decided to validate the simulation using a well-known time-out strategy, based on the hosts idle time and the host length of stay in each state \cite{Augustine:2008} \cite{Meisner:2009} \cite{Ponciano:2010}.}
