The Game Progression

Synthesizing criminal investigation involves integration new information with that of existing information to create an original impression, a new viewpoint, or form a new view of thinking to achieve an awareness. Synthesizing process has a complex method of comprehension strategies. This process happens if we are taking in the valued meaning throughout the information that is read. Our understanding of the criminal investigation is enhancing as we read more of the provide information, (Bynum, T 2001).

In this article, “Who Killed the Jeff Davis 8”, Ethan Brown, the author, attempted to solve the murder case and prove the police authorities to being wrong and being responsible for the murders of the town. The main problem of this article is determining who is responsible for the murders of those eight women everyone’s contradicting stories. In an attempt to figure out what really happened Brown includes factual evidence from interviews and shocking statistics to inform the reader of what’s going on in the article. By providing such information, Brown indulges the audience into the full experience of solving the murder case.

     The first argument that arose out of the video game world was the debate of video game violence. Still unresolved, this debate has actually allowed for the video game industry to come fully into the main stream. As the din over violence quieted the fans of the game society began to focus on issues more akin to their own style. So then began the debate of game play vs. the video game narrative. The question arose; can a game also be a story? While the semantics would suggest that, no, a game cannot be a story, we do realize that a game can contain a story. However,

Investigation: The detective upon receiving information on the events, beings his initial investigation of the crime. The detective, along with his team, collects evidence such as: video surveillance, finger prints, bullet analysis, blood pattern analysis, DNA, and interviews the witnesses. At some point in the investigation, an interview was conducted on a customer that got a full description of the suspect. The detective, upon hearing his statement, requests for a sketch artist. The sketch artist pencils up a picture of the suspect and copies are made and handed out to all patrols. The individual describes the suspect as a tall white male, with short brown hair, about 6’4, wearing glasses with a five o’ clock shadow, and about 210lbs. The suspect was described as wearing a white hoodie and blue

The book exposes the most damning revelation concerning ignorance of the Hollywood police on repeated confessions by a serial killer. The killer had detailed information concerning the crime that was never made public. However, he was never tried for the crime despite confessing to the boy’s murder. The author does not bend facts to show his artistic skills. He details factual information and is not self-consciously literary. The spilling of the narrative follows a

Capote goes so far as to tell the readers how the murder was acted out, step-by-step, while the detectives try to figure it

The Ethos of The Real CSI lies in the inclusion of credible expert testimony. The audience is given a first-hand account of what real CSI entails from a lead detective

I found great meaning in the essay “Learning and Identity: What does it mean to be a Half-Elf ?”, by James Paul Gee. After reading through Gee’s analysis of video games I was particularly drawn to the connection he made with learning in the classroom. I feel that the projective identity (picturing what one would like to be in a given role) is critical to learning, as is learning at the threshold between one’s boundaries and beyond. While I agreed with Gee in most principles regarding deep learning, I disagreed with his statement against learning in the “skill and drill method” (Gee 66). I also felt that while the “Psychosocial Moratorium Principle” (Gee 64) holds true, sometimes risk in the real world can help one learn valuable lessons not possible in a reduced risk environment such as a video game. In subsequent paragraphs I will expand upon these statements using logical reasoning and personal experience.

In effect, the simplicity of the information provides an easier story to follow and thus a smoother, more basic array of details that the reader must interpret. However, this simplistic style is greatly different from the one that Washburn chooses for the depiction of the crime scene.

The sheer amount of terminology and conceptual knowledge required for anatomy and physiology can be overwhelming for students. Educational games are one approach to reinforce concepts. In this activity, students work in teams to review anatomy and physiology concepts by creating arrays of descriptive tiles to define a term. Once guessed, students use their spatial knowledge to locate the structure or process within the body. The game challenges students to think about course vocabulary in a different way and to pool their knowledge to get their classmates to guess the words. Pre-/post-test data reveal that students achieve statistically significant learning gains after playing the game, and a survey of student perceptions demonstrates that the game is helpful for learning vocabulary as well as fun to play. The game is easily adaptable for a variety of courses.

A story. A murder. The motive, what motivates and makes a killer? The current situation and background can help put us in the head of the murderer and give us some kind of p.o.v.

When an interrogation subject does not tell the truth, creating and remembering a fictional story places a heavy load on their mental faculties. They must continually calculate whether their story is cohesive. When Criminal Justice investigators question these subjects, increasing this load will increase the physical responses the subject exhibit, which helps investigators predict whether the person is telling the truth. A practice investigators use to accomplish this is to have the subject tell the story from end to beginning. This makes it difficult for the subject to recall details that match the fictional story timeline. Additionally, the investigators can request that the subject sustain eye contact. When a subject is recalling a fictional recount, looking away helps them focus on remembering their story.

Recent years have shown a tremendous increase in media portrayals of crime-related topics. There had been a rise in the number of crimes reported and analyzed by the media, news bulletins which abound in crime-related footages and displays, making regular citizens much more aware of these issues than they would have normally been just through direct exposure. On top of that, there has been a growing popularity for TV crime series which cover the topic from numerous perspectives, giving full description of the crime itself, the actors involved, the full investigation process from beginning to end, specific procedures and terminology used. All this information which has not usually been readily accessible to the regular citizen has generated an array of studies carried by both academics and legal practitioners as part of what has come to be known as the CSI effect.

The purpose of this project is to provide the reader of this paper with a descriptive analysis of an episode of Crime Scene Investigations (C.S.I.). The intent is to show what is provided by the television series of what happens in a crime and what is supposed to happen during a crime scene investigation. The reader should be able to understand during this analysis to what in fact is non-realistic in this television episode and what is reality as determined by what has been researched. This will show what really happens in a crime scene investigations lab.

The story tell began with a small story, like this: two burglars, Monica and Alex, are seized near the scene of a burglary and then in the game they are both given the "third degree" separately by the Eric and Susan who played the fake police. Monica and Alex, now each, have to be able to choose whether or not to confess and connect the other. If neither of them confesses, then we decided that in the game both will have to clean all of our houses from head to toe for three months. In the game if Monica or Alex confesses and implicates the
