Despite the fact that the initial digital prototype was not entirely working, the designers emulated game play by choosing diffusion activities and selecting members of staff. By observing the interaction they noticed that "players would need to move the mouse from one side of the monitor to the other for every single turn in the game" (Lara, Myers, Frick, Aslan, & Michaelidou, 2010, p. 46).

It is important to recognise that this notion holds particular significance in teaching Humanities, and Health and Physical Education [HHPE], as it is in the key learning areas of HHPE that cultural and social awareness and fairness play vital roles in both the subject itself, and the method of its delivery.

    Women writers have become successful with their works by going beyond social norm standards. They have been critiqued because of their gender roles and are expected to not disobey a man, yet they have proven to not let that be a barrier towards their goals and success. Both Sandra Cisneros and Helena Maria Viramontes use various narrative strategies like the Control and Exercise of Chicana Sexuality, Bildungsroman Novel, and the Reinterpretation of Myths to break with traditional stereotypes of women as passive and subservient to men. In “Woman Hollering Creek” by Sandra Cisnero, Cisneros writes about Cleofilas, a woman who is trapped in the stereotypical assigned gender role by being a submissive wife and mother.…

    Steven Johnson communicates the useful components of computer games and TV and the way that they depend on their arrangement. I thought that it was intriguing in light of the fact that players in computer games truly make sense of complex storylines and piece puzzles together which they're receiving an "Intellectual exercise” that teaches them the same skills that math problems and board games grant. It doesn't really strike me because I learned this from my brother. At a very young age he played video games and presently still does, he's learned numerous technological developments from them, he’s beat every storyline he's ever entered, and learned how to destroy a few zombies on the way. If he's ever put into a situation, his brain will remember how to tackle the problem hands on and surprisingly he can solve probably any math problem he's given.…

    The general population of society expects individuals to hide their true feelings. Gender roles play an important part of social expectations. Two authors that demonstrate the difference of social outlooks are Marie Therese Colimon in her poem “Encounter” and Frank Collymore in “Some People are Meant to Live Alone.” These authors use various types of literary elements to demonstrate the world assumptions for either a male or female. Marie Therese Colimon discusses from a woman’s perspective how we truly feel internally, while Frank Collymore discusses from a male perspective how a man can be forced to their limits because of social assumptions.…

    McClellan’s article (2005) reports that according to Johnson’s study, computer games are essentially brain exercises that holistically improves psychological fitness. This is because computer games require continuous focus, strategic decision-making, and creative thinking. Another form of display interface is video games which have also been found to improve these aspects. This is important as children often find gaming fun and must, therefore, be utilised productively to aid the development of mental acumen.

    The Sweet Girl Graduate by Sarah Curzon focuses on this specific representation of gender where the heroine of the play is attempting to comply to societal norms by cross-dressing in order to receive a higher education. The heroine is obliging to the gender hierarchy that exists, and as a result, this portrays the heroine as someone who is attempting to break away from male dominance, while at the same time accepting it as women were expected to. The representation of gender roles in The Sweet Girl Graduate creates a contradictory perception of what women are meant to achieve in the play, and this is due to the portrayal of the heroine as a free individual; however, at the same time she is subjected to follow the status quo forced…

    In Maus women are not depicted as being capable as men, this occurs in Vladek’s relationships where the women are dependent on Vladek. The main female characters also have less depth compared to the main male characters, and can be more easily reduced down to “wife” or “mother”. In this book we get to see through the perspective of Art and his father, but never a female character. The female characters’ main purpose is to offer insight into the perception of a male character or a situation. This occurs with Françoise, we do not see much of her in the story, but when we do she is used to tell the reader how Art feels about his relationship with his father.…
