Video Game Portrayals
I see the way that women and men are portrayed and video games and I do not see this as a problem, I think that they do this because it makes the games more entertaining to look at. I do not think that people are really looking at these figures as what women or men should be. I think that these characters are used to make everything more entertaining. I think that over masculine men, with large muscles, and who are extremely aggressive is what fuel video games. I feel that most people that play video games are not similar to the people that they portray in the game. I think by doing this the characters get to live lives that are only possible in their wildest dreams. Do you think video games would be as popular if they were more accurate in representing life?

Media Overload
Media overload is something that I feel like every person experiences, there is just too much out there to look at and analyze and often time the truth or facts get lost in the overload. For example I looked up a website for a politician, and many different things popped up including false stories, hate websites, and other sorts of Internet spam that prevented me from getting to the truth. I feel like this overload is good because the truth is always out there and accessible but the only problem is that it is buried by tons of other details that just blur the perception of the looker and make it hard to separate truth from fiction. I believe that this overload is something that is not going to stop and I think that the only way we can really deal with this is to teach the kids of today how to separate real sites from sites that are there to sell you on an idea. This overload has been something that constantly effects me because I have to read through so much nonsense just to get to one little piece of information. Do you think this overload is something that is going to keep getting worse or do you believe we will figure away to organize the overload?
