Research on video game culture has highlighted its social nature as Hand and Moore (2006) have argued for the consideration of video gamers as a ‘community’, while it has been traditionally suggested that gaming is an ‘anti-social’ activity, ethnographic research suggests that gaming is formed in the context of existing social and cultural networks, friendships as well as relationships (Rutter & Bryce, 2006).

60-Minutes ran a feature segment on A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). My knowledge of computer technology is below average, consisting mainly of checking email and surfing the internet. As most people, I knew computers were taking over many jobs once done by humans, and had seen footage of auto industry robots assembling automobiles. I remember seeing video of a warehouse with floor computers delivering boxes from one location to the next. A.I. is different. While watching this segment with…

Artificial intelligence is a topic that is not on many people’s radar. Some people think it’s a technology that won’t be achieved or mastered until the distant future, and some people think it’s nothing more than science fiction, but people don’t know that this technology is fast approaching, and it could have good and bad consequences. There are people who think artificial intelligence is the future and will have a hand and everything we do, while many other people think it could have…

Sexism and misogyny in Theater There are plenty of women who produce, direct, design sets and act in theatrical productions, however they did not always have these opportunities. “Women’s parts were played by men until the late 1700’s. When women did get the chance to perform in the United States, actresses were often seen as fallen or disgraced women because respectable women were not supposed to engage in public activity” (Matthews, 315). Examples of sexism in theatric productions include,…

People have gone from blaming the pharmacy and doctors…

city full of excitement and a massive contrast to Little Chandler’s life who has only ever been to a British Crown dependency which lies between Ireland and England. This is yet another example to show how entangled and dependent Self and Other are. Garry M. Leonard complicates matters even further when he writes, that “Gallaher and Little Chandler each want the other to verify (to see) who they imagine themselves to be” (156), like when Gallaher recommends the places he has been as if there is…

rebellions, bloodshed, and murder. Louis Riel led the nation in two negative and shameful uprisings during his lifetime, responsible of being the leaders of both. The first was the Red River Rebellion. Louis Riel and his fellow Métis took over Fort Garry and captured many groups of English-speaking Ontario settlers who opposed the rebel government. They were imprisoned in the fort, under Riel’s orders. Thomas Scott, an English-speaking Protestant taking part in the opposition, was put on trial…
