games, table games were created by a specific set of rules and therefore they were limited because the player could not create new ways to play or interact more due to the rules of the game which could not be broken. Even if they were not as dynamic as video games, table games would still prove to be beneficial, for instance, the rules of the game would oblige you to think and create different strategies, with table games you would have to be even more mindful than with video games, a fact that many know because the majority of people have played some sort of table game in their life. Table games are made to make people think better to increase the brain capacity and speed reaction. With all of this being said the truth is that it would be …show more content…
Every person had at least once made a mistake or failed in school, friendships, family and so on and this is not a reason to stop doing the thing that we have failed once. We should not fear to talk to someone because we got rejected by a certain person and we should not fear to explore new places because we do not know what to expect in an unknown environment. We find the fear of mistakes in schools where students do not rise their hands to answer simple questions even though they know the answer they fear it might not be good enough and they prefer to stand down. In some ways, video games learning systems can also make us escape the fear within us. In an article from Idunn.no, James Paul Gee tells us that “the role of failure is very different in video games […] In good games, the price of failure is lowered-when players fail, they can, for example, start over at their last saved game.“ a fact that in a certain way reflects the reality, one can never fail and forget everything that was learned, but fail and relearn what was already learned and improve it. The main problem about this fact is that, many people do not know that by failing more can be learned therefore video games somehow are a motivational source, they motivate through repetition and they decrease the fear of failure.
The first point that needs to be addressed is how video games are used for training purposes. Video games are used by the United States Army to train soldiers (Suellentrop). America’s Army helps the soldiers develop their fighting skills (Suellentrop). This video game also helps to teach soldiers how to learn to function as a team (Suellentrop). Along with the Army, video games train individuals how to respond in emergency situations (Issitt). Video games train people in many ways, even if it is unknown to many people how important they can be to society.
Having good health is not a promise, it mainly depends on what one does in a lifetime in regards to proper nutrition and care of the body systems.

Vices, that one develops over the course of a lifetime when in regards to ones health, such as addictive behaviors to illegal substances can be highly detrimental to one’s health.
Video games first appeared in the 1950s and were urbanized all through the 1960s. They came to importance in the 1970s and established an original and unlike entertainment industry in the world. These games have evolved notably with time and have become a culture on their own. Nevertheless, questions were raised about their effects on people which led to debates in societies about whether or not they should be banned. However, video games should not be banned in this age and time.
Moreover, video games also serve as a source of fun for all sorts of people. The purpose for the creation of video games was for it to be a source of entertainment for people. As time passes, the game industry grows. Video games are now so diverse in content that there is bound to be a game type that any given person will find
English poet John Milton once wrote, “…good and evil we know in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably; and the knowledge of good is so involved and interwoven with the knowledge of evil.” With this interwoven information, modern audiences are usually able to differentiate the “good guys” from the “bad guys” in a movie or television show. A murderous meth kingpin, a rebellious teenage rapist, and a Los Angeles hit man who quotes Holy Scripture before killing his targets — not your typical group of likeable personalities. However, these individuals (Walter White, Alex DeLarge, and Jules Winnfield) are among film and television’s most beloved characters. Often, society shuns people who fall under these deviant categories. Why then do audiences support, sympathize with, and even root for these “bad” characters? Many factors come into play when audiences decide whom they like and why they like them. Through easily identifiable characters, viewers relate to and support the “bad guys” and find ways to justify their deviant behavior; this pattern can be seen in the soci...
The common stance toward video games is that they lead to seclusion, anti-social behaviors, obesity, and even sometimes violent crimes; however, video games today can benefit many gamers. They can improve learning, promoting physical activity, and benefit the brain, as well as create a positive social environment. There are even video games that are used to train our armed forces as well as games that get people that live in nursing homes up and moving.
As we evolve into a more advanced species, so does our technology, and along with our overly advanced technology, comes video games. They’ve have certainly come a long way since they were first introduced to the main stream audience and have been slowly creeping its way into many daily lives, making them a lot more entertaining and less dull.

Video games do a very effective job of bringing people together that have the same interest and giving them a sense of community Video games help young adults improve their overall confidence in solving everyday problems. Video games are built on the concept that there is a problem and that the gamer has to find out the solution.

Howard Roark, in his closing argument in the courtroom scene of the The Fountainhead, upholds that selflessness must be forgone for personal dignity, as the true worth of any human comes from none other than their ability to work and create in an individualistic manner rather than one of collaboration. This argument is not only one-sided and opinionated, but simply an excuse portrayed in philosophic manner to justify one’s own selfish desires in the name of individualism and independence. When looked at from this perspective, one finds that Roark was incorrect to praise selfishness and denounce altruism. A common theme of freedom versus equality is present throughout Ayn Rand’s work, a theme which has formed a seemingly endless debate that
Research has shown that gaming, in the right context, can be just as, if not more, effective than traditional e-learning. It improves problem-solving, creativity, risk assessment, and risk taking. Gaming also supports B.F. Skinner’s Behavioral Theory: that behavior is a function of its consequences. As in real life, when most people have a negative consequence to something they do, they don’t do it again. In gaming it’s the same concept: You go through that particular door and fall down an elevator shaft and lose the game…are you going to do that again? Probably not.
There are several negative stereotypes associated with video games and those who play them; some of these may often hold true. However, there are plenty of learning opportunities in video games. While the direct purpose of some games is to educate or train, other games that do not directly have this purpose can still become a learning experience for the player. As Ntiedo Etuk, president of the educational video game company Tabula Digital said, “The traditional view of video games has been that they are distractions from the task of learning” (Electronic Education Report 1). Video games are an effective tool for learning and retaining skills both inside and outside the classroom environment. The basic cycle of game play--the introduction to the game, game play, collaboration, improvement of these between each round, and evaluation at the end of the game (Klievink and Janssen 159)--are nearly parallel to the traditional classroom learning cycle of reading a textbook or listening to a lecture, taking a quiz, studying, focusing on items missed on the quiz, and taking a test or exam. Within this cycle, there are many opportunities to develop and perfect both educational, life, and occupational skills.
Presently, video games aren’t merely toys that negatively influence the youth. They have become an alternative means for people to learn and train for work. Games teach values and essential information, and motivate its players to achieve goals. Soldiers and doctors benefit from video games as well. The collaboration of game developers and educators helps improve the quality of educational games. At present, as technology progresses, one can truly see that video games have become an important factor in learning.
Gaming provides more advantages than it does disadvantages. Playing video games is good for you. There are many game genres out there in the world, you just have to choose the right ones to benefit you. For example, if you pick a strategy game, it would help you in critical thinking and benefit you by helping to make good decisions. A great strategy game called Starcraft was inspected in an experiment. It was found that Starcraft helped increased brain flexibility. Brain flexibility is the ability to switch between tasks and look at things from a different point of view. Higher brain flexibility allows you to comprehend multiple concepts at the same time. Brain flexibility allows you to switch between thoughts based on certain conditions and helps you adjust to your situation. For example if I were thinking about playing a video game and end up seeing the word “homework” I would instantly think about whether I have homework or not, and if I do, I would stop thinking about playing gam...
Failures can be used as lessons so that the failure will not be repeated again. There could be long term failures that are crucial to life to remember and there could be short term failures that help a bit. One of my greatest failures in life that I've experienced and learned from would be from the time of my first grade year.

People usually afraid of failure because they tried to do something and failed, or took a risk and it didn’t pay off, or made a decision and it turned out to be the wrong one. That fear of failure create the stress and anxiety when people want to do something hard or try something new. Just because you tried something two or three time and failing does not mean the entire idea is a mistake. Do you expect to get a Blackjack on every game that you played? That would be an impossible thing to do. There is no success that comes without failure, where failure is experiences and lessons that help you to perfect your works.
