Realism in Video Games

P1. Many video games have tried to place realism in it

P2. When a person gets shot in real life, they are either killed or at least incapacitated

P3. In Call of Duty, your character only bleed out of his eyes, and damage rarely permanent when he is shot.

----

C. Video games can never be fully realistic.

I've never been much of a shooter fan, but I have seen some people play them. I've brought this point up with friends from my past. What would happen if the person in the video game was like a real person. The answer I got was: that would take the fun out of the game. You would always die whenever you get shot so you would only get one chance before GAME OVER. I see their point, since the point of video games isn't to show realism, but to let the players have fun.

Effective Executives

"This book rests on two premises:

P1. The executive's job is to be effective
P2. Effectiveness can be learned"
-----
The conclusion that I came up with was something along the lines of: the executive's job can be learned. However, the article I found this in was talking about how effectiveness cannot be learned but has to be experienced.

What's up with that?

I used the article found at http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/obama-congress-has-no-1177339.html

Later on in the article this paragraph came up: "In trying to win over the voting public and build pressure on Congress, Obama has made his pitch in Virginia, the home state of House Republican Leader Eric Cantor, and Ohio, home of House Speaker John Boehner. He will travel on Wednesday to North Carolina."

The argument is:

1.Obama went to Virginia, home to House Republican Leader Eric Cantor
2. Obama went to Ohio, home of House Speaker John Boehner
3. He will travel again to North Carolina
---------
C. Obama is trying to win over the voting public

About Me

Hi! My name is Samantha Levine, though you can call me Sam. I am 21 years old, and because I am a transfer student, am a junior at MCLA. My major is Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting. I'm taking Logic and Critical Reasoning because, though I am a business major, I have found that philosophy can be very interesting, and it can count as a core curriculum class. I am very excited to learn more about philosophy in the upcoming semester.
