From the Paper
"The Most Dangerous Game, published in 1924, is a tale of adventure and suspense with a theme that quickly grew into a classic storyline of books and films that followed its publication (The Most Dangerous Game intro). A general analysis would explain that this classic motif is "about the hunter and the hunted" (The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell), but this exploration is too surface. Connell writes, "I think evil is a tangible thing--with wave lengths just as light and sound have." It is this tangible, let us call it "landscape," that really presents itself as the theme of the story. However, the landscape of The Most Dangerous Game is not one of evil per se but of fear. This will be explored in the following pages. "

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses how in the story "The Most Dangerous Game", the author describes an adventurous plot in which two highly skilled hunters have been pitted against each other in what can best be described as a "life or death" competition. The paper looks at how the author's use of irony helps to give an unexpected twist to what may be seen from the outset as a rather common phenomenon: hunting for sport.

From the Paper
"There are very few characters in this story. Even then, Connell only chooses to elaborate on just two of these on a deeper level. Sanger Rainsford is the story's protagonist. Apart from his abundant knowledge of hunting, Rainsford is no different from any other ordinary man. The expectation is that his logical skills and moral values would be at the same level as those of a normal human being. It is implied then, that he would never engage in any behaviors which are characteristic of the animals he hunts. Sanger Rainsford shows the reader through his actions that he is a realistic and rational man secure in the certainty of the world around him. He shows us his moral nature through his arguments with General Zaroff. As General Zaroff explains his new pastime of hunting men instead of animals for sport, Sanger Rainsford contradicts the general and telling him that he "speaks of murder". "

Abstract
In this paper, the thematic use of the abstraction of reality through video games has been compared in the film Wargames and the novel Ender's Game. These differing mediums provide the ideological problem of video games versus reality concept, which provide extremely dangerous uses of computers for David and Ender. Although David avoids nuclear war, Ender is not so lucky, as his training simulation was a very real war with millions of deaths committed at the remote Battle School.

Abstract
This paper explains that, when someone thinks of an addiction, internet gaming doesn't generally come to mind first but it is dangerous. The author points out that some of the indications of addition are worsening school grades or work performance, becoming obsessed or preoccupied with being on the game even when not connected to the internet and choosing to play video games over socializing with friends. The paper relates that MMORPGs are crafted to reward quickly the player in the beginning, allowing the player to level up in a very short amount of time, quickly developing talents and skills thus increasing the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is associated with addictions.

From the Paper
"My roommate, Jason, has suffered from addictions to multiple games, including "Red Alert 2", a RTBS, "Counter-Strike: Source", a FPS, and most recently "World of WarCraft," a MMORPG. Each game is completely different, and very involved, requiring months to learn how to be a good player. During the time in which Jason was addicted to Red Alert 2, he would play over the networks against only one or two different people. He wasn't playing for the social aspect, rather, just for the rush he got from winning. At the time when he was addicted, he was working the graveyard shift as a security guard, from midnight to eight in the morning. His girlfriend at the time was working full time, as well, nine in the morning until five in the afternoon. As such, they had very little time to spend together. Almost an hour in the morning, and only a few hours in the evening, Jason spent this time on Red Alert 2."

Abstract
This paper examines the effect violent video games have on children. There are several cases cited that link video games to violence, murder and even the Columbine shootings. The paper includes numerous quotes and supporting statistics.

From the Paper
"Many of these games devalue human life and reward violent actions. There are also games that lead to addictive and compulsive disorders that can harm younger users. There is legislation on the horizon to assist parents with this growing problem. However, it is ultimately parental supervision that will keep children from exposure to inappropriate video games. It is not 1981 anymore and video game violence is much more serious than a joystick shaped bruise on the arm. The violence depicted in modern video games can affect young players in such a dramatic way that they may harm themselves or others after prolonged exposure."

Abstract
This paper addresses the subject of violence in video games and looks at whether there is any positive correlation between violent video games and the danger of perpetuating violence in children.

From the Paper
"Video gaming is a multibillion dollar industry and billions of dollars worth of game units are sold every year. It is estimated that more than 60% of all Americans play videogames which is nothing but an astounding 150 million people or more. Analysis has revealed that more than 89% of these videogames are imbued with violence of different degrees. Even majority of those games which have been certified and approved for all ages (E) carry violence as the main theme. [Children Now] While past studies have corroborated the positive aspects of video games such as improving the cognitive skills, spatial skills, hand eye coordination and attention skills recent researches have shown that they also pass on the scourge of violence. Many results have attested the fact that the obsession with videogames has also created a new type of society where children are beginning to be aloof and exhibit unusually aggressive behavior. Video games have sort of created a withdrawal effect in these children as they are more and more fixated to those pixilated characters than the social life outside."

Abstract
This research study focuses on the hypothesis that video games are the source of an obsessive addiction that causes children to experience a physical exhausted aggression that results in heightened aggressive responses to otherwise normal and noninvasive stimuli. The exhaustion and aggression result in a diminished capacity and children suffering this condition cannot be held accountable for the danger they pose to others, or the harm they inflict upon others when in this exhausted heightened state of aggression arising out of their obsessive addiction. Further, the manifestation of the aggression is one that is reflective of the aggressive nature or violent images which have occupied a socially abnormal and unacceptable amount of the child's life and time. The paper provides an overview of the research that will support this hypothesis and outlines the proposed methodology, results and discussion.

From the Paper
"The popularity of video games and technology in contemporary modern culture is one that has the potential to be one of the most useful academic tools ever conceived. Unfortunately, the move from home entertainment to the classroom, and using the video game in a more constructive, productive and academic manner has been slow. That is perhaps because the industry is one geared towards profit, not education. There is much more profit to be earned in marketing to the entertainment needs of the American family, most notably by way of keeping American children, entertained and causing them to be less conspicuous in the lives of adults. Video games have supplanted the television as the current "babysitter" for children in the American family."

Abstract
The paper argues that Internet allows identity thieves and child predators to virtually come into the house, and then argues further that there is also increased pornography, gambling addictions and gaming addictions because of the Internet. The paper relates that in addition to century old businesses crumbling, family traditions are disappearing, and the ability to have a personal conversation with another person is becoming a thing of the past. The paper further reveals that children can easily download violent games meant for adults. The paper decries the fact that no one seems to consider the dangerous side of the Internet until it is too late. The paper asserts that the only explanation behind major organizations' and government agencies' blindness to these problems is that the Internet is just too important.

From the Paper
"Because of its usefulness, society hates to admit the negative affects that the Internet has caused with families, traditions, and businesses world wide. Although the Internet has enhanced the technology era to a level that doubles and triples with advancements each year, it has also created major problem with customary aspects of everyday life. The uncontrollable problems with the Internet are so out of hand that identity thieves and child predators can virtually come into the house and sit next to the ones they are targeting, problems with online pornography, gambling, and gaming additions are rising faster than help can be offered, century old businesses are crumbling, family traditions are disappearing faster than a pizza used to vanish on family movie night, and the ability to have a personal conversation with another person is becoming a thing of the past. Unfortunately, these problems seem to pale in comparison to the Internet's usefulness, because no one seems to consider the dangerous side of it until it is too late."
