The Culture Of The Gaming Culture

Day 2: How does your culture contribute to the way that you interact with your social world? Culture is one of the primary reasons we act the way we do. There are many types of cultures like professional, national, religious, family, and educational. Your family culture is the number one type of culture that affects you in your adult life. It shapes the foods you enjoy, the activities you like to participate in, and specific belief systems you take part in. Additionally,

A cultural influence that has really been eye opening for me, especially in the past 4 years, is the quality of education I have been lucky enough to receive. My understanding of the educational system in the United States compared to Mexico has been a jarring experience.

Gamers are gamers regardless of where they live. There are many gamers around the world, and one of the largest gaming populations is located in Japan. (Niizumi) Japan has been, and continues to be one of the largest developers and creators of both of video gaming consoles and video games around the world. (Niizumi) Japanese video games are beneficial to society and are an excellent source of employment to many in Japan.

One big part of my cultural is our history. As may of us know some things about our culture's history, we are looked upon to know as much as we can possibly find about ourselves. Our parents and grandparents say this because they don't want any part of our culture to fade away. This is represented everywhere I go. In our church we have greek school where we learn about how the church came about, customs, and ancient greece, even sometimes how to speak greek. This is also encouraged outside of the church just in our homes. This was extremely important when I was little. We would frequently watch what seemed to be very boring ‘greek history’ shows that made my 5 year old self wonder why we watched them. This was ‘fun’ for my grandparents but now I realised the reason why we watched them was because they were proud of who they were. All this sums up into how education is so important to everyone in our culture.

Culture is a large part of every person’s life, it is what makes each person unique. Within culture there are many aspects such as food, music, clothing, tradition, and many more. Since culture makes up such a large part of our day to day lives, it is almost always responsible shaping and informing our view on the world.

Video games have been unloved or hated ever since they have came out. Video games are excellent for kids because they will improve their work with others, help them think more faster, and will help kids become more intelligent.

The cultural events in a person's life shape them into the person they are today. Throughout a person's life they experience events that change them culturally. These events can be either positive or negative. I went through a cultural experience when I went from Maine to Maryland.

Now that technological companies all over the world have set most of the seven billion individuals in the world with a computer, smartphone or tablet, it is time for better software to use with them. This is where games come in. Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello stated in a recent interview that PC gaming is the ‘fastest growing platform’. This shows the growing interest in gaming bearing in mind that gamers also have the means to play on. The term ‘gamer’ refers to an individual that plays a game or games, typically a participant in a computer or role playing game. The gaming community has grown so wide in the last few years because of the shift from single player games to multiplayer games on the internet

Although one’s culture is based on their experiences they have had, it is also based on values of family and education that help shape one’s opinion and view.

I was born in the vast city of New York and raised in East Harlem and because of this, culture was a recurring theme in my life as a kid. To begin, New York City is extremely diverse and East Harlem is filled with a mixture of many cultures. Kids around me were of different cultures yet, we all had similar interests. As a kid, I had no idea what missing something felt like, as I always had food on the table, I always had shoes and clothes on me and most importantly I had my two loving parents.

I would say that the Native American culture most influences me in relation to my love of art. The Native Americans are well known for many artistic things in jewelry and pottery. The Native American jewelry can also be based on spiritual rituals as well as tribal and is often turquoise

“Pop culture shapes our ideas of what is normal and what our dreams can be and what our roles are […]” quoted by Gloria Steinem. Culture has a great influence on the way people view the world and others as seen in the stories By any other name by Santha Rama Rau, Everyday Use by Alice Walker, and Two Kinds by Amy Tan.

Sometimes I question if culture changes who you are. I try to pull up memories of the decisions I make, are they affected by my culture? Here is the response I came up with: Culture sporadically informs how an individual sees the world because, even being from completely different places and raised in contrasting households, people could still have similar views based on what they think of others and not how you are constructed with your culture, however, sometimes affects your perspective in certain occasions in circumstances where you wouldn’t face a community the same if you weren’t from the culture you were built in. This idea is supported by the personal essay by Bharati Mukherjee, Two Ways to Belong in America, the essay by Robert Lake, An Indians Father Plea, and also personal experience.

To me my cultural identity is made up of many things from the sports I like to the food I eat even to they way I treat or act to people but most important thing to me would be how people view me as a person and friend by this I mean my personality and how I treat them because the way I was raised was that you treat everyone with respect no matter the person place or situation. Secondly the food we eat is personally my favorite thing about my family culture because the food is great from tamales to Poole and menudo and even the sports inline which is only one but that doesn't matter because threw the sport i have made many friends and learned many lessons and the sport of course is soccer the greatest sport in the world to me and my family at least now where my view influenced yes and iI am glad they were because if people didn't help me be the way i am today i don't know how i would have turned out sure iI'mnot perfect no one is but i like how I was raised and how i have lived my life so far and all because of my family culture and all the people that made me who i am today so yeah i guess you could say culture is what makes the world spin and connects people together and to me culture is the most important thing you could have in your life

     In July of 1898, Marie and Pierre Cure discovered Polonium. They named the element after Marie's birth country, Poland. Chemically, this new element was very similar to bismuth, but it contained radioactivity, so it must be new. In December of 1898, the Curie's discovered yet another element. They named this one radium, from the Latin word for ray. The two new elements had completely different chemical properties, but they both had very strong radioactivity.
