Social Issue Games

For this assignment I chose 3rd world farmer. I believe there were several social issues in the game but I think the main one was poverty. I think it does have a strong impact on exploring the issue. It showed how hard some families have it. It is a good eye opener for those who did not know. The game was fun but I was it was my accurate or have a lot more to do. I think that any game in the social issue genre can be fun and exploring the many accepts of the issue. I think if it was fun that you learn more and if you have a strong impact on it as well. What is wrong with having fun and learning at the same time? I think that People learn better and remember things better when they are having fun. I think that since you have control over the money on 3rd world farmer, that you are actually in control of 4 people also. You have to make sure you have enough money for them and they stay healthy. If one dies you should feel like you actually cause the death of the family member. That is one of the strong impact they have. I think a game should also be easy to move around and clear instructions, if not it is losing the fun part of learning about a social issue.
Poverty, Health, Environment, and Education:
The local themes and issues that affects my local community and what do I think how it is affecting. I want to point out that some of the ones are homeless chose to pick that path. Some don't even want help. I think we need to help the ones that needs help. I also think that we need better housing for the dangerous ones on the streets. They made the streets unsafe and when you are walking to point A to point B it is hard not to get one following you or talking to you. There is a lot of mental illness out there. And some of them with this mental illness is out there in the streets made it unsafe for us to attend school, the movies or hang out with friends. I think school is really focus on in the United States. The more edcuation you have the more you will have.
I think the most inportant thing that people should know about my game is that it is an education game, that will be an adventure in to a another culture. The actions people should do to help is that they should be open minded and that this may help with a vacation to this country or may give them an insight to a country that they may never be able to visit. It is an education game that will help you out. I want them to learn about another culture before going there or Just learn about another culture is a prize within it self. I think the more we better ourselfs with understandings of others makes this world go around more peacefully.
