Assignment 1

Games are social reaction to the action of any culture. They are ways of adjusting to the stress of specific actions that occur in any social group. They are way of providing release of particular tension. Art and games lets people get away from their routine tension.

When culture and social change, games also do change. Games can provide many varieties of satisfaction. They play a role of media of communication. They are mass media as they are a way of interpersonal communication. They are a translator of experience and extensions of our social selves. They mimic our situation that we face in our own routine work. Games are an imitation of accomplish situation.

I also think games are a way of people getting out from their routine stress, release of particular tension and therefore people try to have fun. It is a psychological way of our mind of getting out of routine and also adjusting our social reaction. I think games make people aware of controlling the situation and accomplish them.

A good summary and some good comments. Computer games are objects of cultural significance that are intimately connected to who we are as social and private animals.
