...opportunities despite our sex” (Pendley, 2011). This is merely an opinion from another woman who is speaking her own mind, but it is attitudes like these that make it harder for women to be taken seriously. It is true that women want to have the same opportunities as men and do not want to be judged by their sex but that does not mean that they want anything more. There may be limitations to what women can do physically, emotionally, and mentally as far as work is concerned, but it is also the same for men. “..I, as a female, acknowledge the fact that our sex cannot behave the way a male does. And I don’t want to act like a man” (Pendley, 2011). Fighting for the rights of all women does not mean that they want to act like men. Women simply want to be treated equally and not be seen as someone who is not capable of doing anything besides staying...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) is a custom scenario for Warcraft III, based on the "Aenon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is to destroy the opponents' "Ancient". The two teams' ancients are heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". With successive versions, features, heroes, items, abilities, and graphics are added to updated and bugs are fixed. 0n the DOTA’s, All-stars, forum, users can be post ideas, for new heroes or items, some of which are added to the map. Ice frog recently added anew hero based off submission for a “Model to hero” context or his site. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The foregoing study is about the influence of playing computer games to the students above 16 yrs. old, specifically the researchers tried to find out the answers to the following problems: 1. Is there a positive effect in playing DOTA? 2. How does DOTA affect the performance of a student? 3. Are they aware of what it can do to them?

Because of the large number of youth who patronize the mentioned computer games, the researchers conducted a study on...

...Slexipedia: Word Formation and Social Use 3.1 Introduction In his publication A Glossary of Netspeak and Textspeak David Crystal blended the two words lexiconand encyclopaediato form lexipedia, a word he used to describe the nature and purpose of his publication as "a cross between a dictionary (lexicon) and an encyclopaedia" (Crystal, 2004: vii). For each term in the glossary there is information one would look up in a dictionary, and the sort of knowledge one would expect to find in an encyclopaedia, such as an etymology of the entry and a hint of its sociolinguistic use. For example: newbie A newcomer to a chatgroup or virtual-world environment, especially one who has not yet learned the way to behave when participating in the dialogue. >>chatgroup; netiquette; virtual world (Crystal, 2004: 79) The coinage of the neologism Slexipedia compounds the acronym SL with lexipedia to provide a term to describe the Second Life-specific lexis in my corpus. In addition to providing a SL glossary according to Crystal's method (Appendix X), this chapter investigates the creative and innovative word-formation processes of SL English and Arabic vocabulary by its residents. Since use of vocabulary reflects identity (Crystal, 2001; Benwell and Stokoe, 2006; Boellstorff, 2008), the final concern of this chapter is the manner in which these SL terms are used in conversational interaction inworld, to reflect the social purposes and circumstances in which these words are...
