Video Games and Today

Scenes of murder and chaos plague new channels and the media. Children dying every day from lack of food and medicine. Issues of which everyone has knowledge and yet choose to ignore every day. What can cause society, even one like our own, to become completely apathetic of the world around us? It is true that video games are at large to blame for this issues but how about Hollywood? Is it even an issue now a days or is it best to neglect the world around us? I think it is important to always remember that we are all citizens of this world and everything that happens in it should concern us. It is best to attack problems now than when these problems have reached our doorsteps.

Morality

As future developers and members of a community with high moral standards, it is always important to know what our role in society is. Even though we live in a society where information is at our fingertips; information is not always good and has the potential to be harmful. Harmful not only to us but to our loved ones and our community as a whole. What is our our role, our mandate then? Is it to turn our back and let someone else deal with this issues or to be leaders of change and do actually do something? No battle that was ever worth winning was easily won and as warriors and protectors of such values we must never yield to the battle.
