...None of us are at all unfamiliar with the term "gaming". Gaming is an extremely popular hobby in the modern world. All of us are familiar with big titles like Grand Theft Auto,Need For Speed,Assassin's Creed and others. Earlier,it was thought that gaming was only meant for teenagers,however,it not so any longer. There are no restrictions on who can become a gamer - and,trust me,all one needs to be a gamer is a passion for gaming. The gaming industry had started to thrive at the end of the Cold War years,when old timers like Mario and Contra made our day. (I still remember myself sitting in front of my TV with my Atari,killing a boss on Contra and wishing for an S gun). Since then, there has been a gradual development of the industry,promoting the creation of better games with more features than was imagined only a few years before. Big companies like Take-Two Interactive,Ubisoft,Electronic Arts,etc. have really promoted the gaming industry through their games,which mop up millions of dollars in revenue in games sales as well as sales of downloadable content offered on their games to enhance the gaming experience. Now,we have games of every generation in our hands. Be it action,adventure,RPG,racing,shooter,open world,etc. we have all it takes to enjoy atleast an hour or two before our gaming instruments (a PC or a console). The gaming industry has not only directly provided employment to many tech geniuses who would otherwise have been left unemployed or working in some office...

...GAMING DOES HELP YOU AT TIMES To develop a skill in something which you are interested in also helps you use those skills in your daily life. One such sport is gaming. Though it may seem that it has no fundamental use in our day to day life, it shapes our concentration to an extent where we can utilise it for other things. It is said that non gamers can see 3 to 4 objects at a time and react, gamers can see about 6 to 7 objects at a time and the reaction time is quicker than that of a non gamer. It is seen that those who are socially awkward tend to open up while they play games online. They tend to communicate their whereabouts in the game itself which results in making new friends when there is a team game. The coordination between your eyes and your hands tend to sync according to your brain’s command which results in quick movement and fast reflexes when in the real world and not in the world of simulation and first person shooting. There are many merits in gaming but there are two sides to every coin. As much as how gaming can be useful for body control, increase in concentration, there are also a few demerits to it too. You can differentiaite gaming as team games and a single player games. Most of this generation games are of team games but there are also a few single player games which many people do play. They tend to be isolated from the social world and are confined to their “gaming chambers” as some people call them. They do not want to make many friends...

...Online gaming has been increase so quick and much that almost all people have some experience with it. The freedom of playing and the gamers can do whatever they want within the game to not only entertain but release some pressure from the real life as well. However, the majority of the gamers is still male-based and they used to express their feelings by saying women-offended words even with the fast increasing female gamer nowadays. No matter it's by foul-mouthed, or purpose, being called "cunt," "bitch," "slut" and other common misogynist epithets does not make people feel comfortable even for male. Some game developers want to, from their perspective, make things right which is to ban the user whoever make sexual-offended comments either in verbally or literally in order to make the online gaming community clean. Or in gamers' point of view, it's only a game. Game developers such as Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill are trying to find a way to eliminate online gaming sexual harassment. They offer permanent banning for the user that violates the regulation. Nevertheless, they sometimes do not realize the fact that people tend to do things that regulators do not allow; moreover, they can create more accounts if their accounts had been banned. The method of banning accounts while users made harassed comments is not a proper way to eliminate this type of action since people would still find ways such as symbolized words, icons, images etc.to express what they intended...

...the identification of a specific culture group/speech community/community of practice you will be researching and the reason why you selected that group (2 pts); After watching the Anthropology of YouTube video, the online community sparked my interests. If I had to choose, I would decide to study the online gaming community; for example Xbox live or computer games. I would consider myself to be a part of this community and would love to dive deeper into the communication during gaming and how the language can be brought into every day social interaction. 2. the specific language practices or linguistic structures you are interested in studying and why (3 pts); First and foremost, I want to look at the pragmatics of the gaming speech. I think it would be a great way to understand how new words are formed and I want to know why they are formed. Then, I would like to look at morphology and syntax. I know of some terms that I have seen created while interacting in the game “League of Legends.” I just think it is cool to see these new words and how they are used to be funny or communicate in a different way. Also, the semantics of a language. Each online gaming community could have the same word used in a variety of ways in different...

...Abstract (Summary) The topic that this paper has chosen to study is Gambling. It will look at the relationship between gambling and alcohol. The Research Question of this study is “How does the use of alcohol influence gambling, among young adults in Montreal?” The Research Hypothesis is “If a young adult in Montreal consumes alcohol while gambling, then they are more likely to be negatively effected.” The research method I used to gather my information was Surveys. The sample consisted of 93 young adults that live in Montreal. It was found that there was not a strong relationship that alcohol effects gambling behaviour negatively. The research hypothesis was not proven due to fact that there was no correlation between the two variables. Introduction Gambling and Alcohol are two big problems that society faces. For several years, these two agents, independent of each other, have separated families and ruined lives. Many young adults combine these the two agents, which has seen even more disastrous effects. In the study by David Giacopassi, B. Grant Stitt, and Margaret Vandiver, it was found that 54% of college students drank alcohol either “Occasionally”, “Frequently” or “Always”, when they were gambling. This study will look at Gambling and its relationship with alcohol. It will be looking to see what effect alcohol causes on those who are gambling. It will also compare this result with those who do not drink and gamble. Literature...

...2014 a) Phil N. Tropic should recognize this as the asset. In the Conceptual Framework (CF) of IASB, it states that an item can be recognized as the asset if it meets the definition of the asset and meets the recognition criteria at the same time (IASB, 2014). And the definition of the asset in CF is “a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity” (IASB, 2014). In other words, if the item is an asset, it must have three characteristics: it can generate inflows of future economic benefits; it is controlled by the entity as a resource; and the transaction or event giving rise to the control must already have occurred. For the recognition criteria, CF states that “ an entity recognises an item that meets the definition of an element if it is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to or from the entity and the item has a cost or value that can be measured with reliability” (IASB, 2014). In this situation, the lottery ticket meets the definition of the asset. Because it can be traded in the secondary market and generate the inflows of the future economic benefit which is €90 in cash. And the event for controlling it also has occurred. It meets the recognition criteria as well. The future economic benefit associated with the lottery ticket is €90 which is the price in the secondary market. Gaining €90 can occur with a high probability compared to wining...

...learns to drive, engaging in sex or smoking, or using illegal substances or medications not prescribed to them, teenagers think of themselves as invincible and able to handle anything. Some activities start as innocuous behaviors and only later are found to be harmful, such as using tanning booths to look healthy. New to this list of activities in which adolescents engage is gambling. It occurs with such great prevalence that it is not always recognized as gambling; yet, this behavior, as with any risky behavior, can be detrimental to an adolescent’s health. Gambling, sometimes referred to as “gaming,” is defined as the practice of playing games of chance or betting in the hope of winning money or something of value; it involves risk and uncertainty (Verbeke & Kittrick-Nathan, 2007). While the term gambling often is associated with a criminal activity, the word “gaming” often refers to these same activities or others that have become legalized (Humphrey, 2007). In this article, the terms will be used...

...The Powerball lottery this past week, had a grand prize worth 1.5 billion dollars. This is enough money to change the lives for the winner's great great great grandchildren and many more generations to come if handled carefully. Another alternative would be to use the money to create a better world. If I won the lottery, I would want to make a positive difference. You see, I believe everything happens for a reason, and if I won that gigantic sum of money. I feel it is my duty as a human being, to help pass on my good fortune to others.

Realistically I think more than 50% of the winnings would go to charity, but automatically...

...In a recent online poll, people were asked to name the best quality, or virtue, that a person should have. The top three answers were honesty, integrity, and a solid work ethic. Gambling is not an activity that could be described using any of these words. Gambling corrupts the values of the life, replacing them with greed and selfishness. It is a form of theft from taxpayers, encourages the neglect of children and jobs, attracts a criminal element, cultivates laziness and lends itself easily to other societal ills such as alcohol and drug use and prostitution. Gambling undermines the work ethic by offering a “something for nothing” attitude and leads people to profit by causing loss to others. Most proponents of gambling consider it to be harmless recreation. However, like the tobacco industry, the gambling industry relies and thrives on addiction. The bulk of the gambling industry’s profits come from problem and compulsive gamblers. In terms of casinos, they produce no wealth for anyone other than the owners. They do not produce a good to be manufactured or exchanged. Almost every dollar spent in a casino is utilized by the casino; -- it is sucked out of the community, not spent elsewhere, or put into a savings account. Gambling and casinos are not economic development. We, as a society, must choose to build a future on solid economic foundation, or build a casino economy where we say it does not matter. The social costs of gambling, the externalities, are hard...

...Ethics & Gambling Matthew J. Nagle Sociology 120 Kathleen Marker 5/14/2013 The extent of gambling in our state has just exploded with all the casinos that are erected and functional across Pennsylvania. I can go to about six casinos with the closest being approx. three miles to an estimated sixty miles and that is just in the eastern part of the state. “Gambling has been a part of human culture since history was first recorded. It involves three elements: consideration, chance, and reward” (McAuliffe, 2006). I speak of this because after years of experience gambling legally and illegally, I still find myself in moral and ethical situation from time to time. Furthermore, I often wonder where the social and ethical responsibility lye, on the patron only or do we place some of the burden on the casinos and bookmakers. “Compulsive gambling is a serious disorder, as exhibited by extraordinarily high rates of suicide, severe depression, alcohol abuse, and crime” (Unknown). Understanding, that a casino has tracked, recorded your every move in and out, and, every monetary transaction you have attempted and completed in said casino. There must be an equal footing for each to accept responsibility for acting irresponsible. In my findings, I intend to reveal ethical issues related to problem gamblers, casino promotions, and enticements, overall ethical concerns involving both state and church, and finally, some examples to tie it all together. For now, let us look at how...

...Gambling is an issue that gains a lot of attention because of the controversy surrounding it. There are supporters for and against this multi-billion-dollar industry, but most citizens recognize it as a legalized establishment within the Canadian economy. Gambling seems like a normal part of society for many, but for others it is viewed as a destructive force ruining a person and their relationships. Since we live in a liberal society we should be able to spend our wealth and time however we please, therefore the states policy towards gambling should be to regulate but not outlaw this popular past-time. The implementation of new policies would make gambling a more manageable issue rather than hindering the economic benefits it also provides. This is what Canada must do if it wants to maintain a tolerant society; the banning of gambling would violate the human rights we were promised as Canadians. The states policy on gambling should include advertising restrictions, limitations on availability and offer programs that assist those suffering from addiction. When first looking into this debated topic it was beneficial to gain a better understanding of the objections placed upon this establishment. People assume gambling is very addictive. Although it can be, I believe the speculation is ahead of the actual proof. In actuality, as the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health consents, the majority of adult citizens’ gamble and they do so safety. They set reasonable limits to their...
