The Ethics of digital games

According to the film, what are some pros and cons of playing video games for individuals and societies.  

For individuals, video game can teaching knowledge, many teachers use video game provide a interactive way to teach children, and students can learn information from colorful picture, animation ,etc. Also, we can express ourselves, some people afraid to communicate with people , then using video game can express their feeling by talking with net people and meet new friend by sharing the same interest, it help people to enlarge their social network. On the other hands,some people suffered from high pressure or thinking their ideal life, then people may enjoy a better life and feel pleasure by playing video game .

For societies,  video game for specific purpose, such as in USA, playing game which related to army to encourage teenager to join and the character in the game can promote a positive image of being soldier. Also, in Korea , people playing video game as a career, some company  employs people to play with their game or testing their game, then  playing video game become a social issue which have TV program, create a famous star. Playing video provide many opportunity and chance.

But on the other hands, playing video game may addicted in imagine or unreal world and lost ourselves, many teenager addicted in video game and try to escape from the real world. many newspaper reported that many accident caused by playing video game, such as killing other people in the school, physical problem. Also, it affect our physical and mental health.When we play games for a long time, our energy will be consumed a lot and we will feel very tired.

I think that digital games may encourage aggressive values. It is because in the video, the experiment shown that  teenager playing game will cause aggressive value, but I think that most of teenagers can separate imagine world and the real world. Also, playing which type of video game is the important point, such as Sim, people will not encourage aggressive values.

But some people affected by the game and have anti-social actions in the real world.So, it is depend on the player own mind and control themselves.

Governments have should place age restrictions on it. I think playing game is a good way to relax yourself and interesting way to learn new knowledge, but the developer create some game which is violence, give out a bad message, these is not suitable for teenager under 18, it is encourage teenager to fight people and using weapon to protect themselves, in USA, having gun is as usual and allow to use it. So, the environment of the society would encourage teenager to practice what then did in the game.

Classmates Interview:

The feedback from our classmates show that many of them like playing Sim game and some of them did not play any game. they think that Sim game is a small society in unreal world, they can do anything they want, they feel relax when they play this game.

Also,They consider Sim is a work of art. All the character in the game is unique and the visual elements is beautiful and special. The plot of the game which is design by the player, the audience participation is important to develop the game. 

Finally,the Sim game helps them pay more attention to their behaviors. It is because even the game is unreal, but we can not did something unusual behavior in the game to have fun. The behavior can reflect you deep desire in your mind when you did in the game.
