When we discussed how games are a reflection of the society that they are a part of that was really cool and got me to thinking about the games we play.

In our society we play hide and seek, giving us useful hiding and hunting skills, useful in survival. We play tag, for speed and hunting. House, which gives us gender roles and knowledge of how to run a family. War, which glorifies war and makes it an acceptable if not desirable thing. And many others that mimic the things we see on T.V. and what our parents do or tell us about. Considering most things on T.V. are violent entertainment it's no wonder we're the most violent country on the Earth.

The other games we talked about in class were the ones that that one tribes kids played which was the mimicking of the singing leading to the passing on of that desirable ability.

My friend Jeremy is actually going to give me a book for Christmas called Finite and Infinite Games, which should be one of the most interesting books ever. We've had great talks about it and I'm finally done with journaling. Hope they weren't posted too late >.< Alright goodnight and have an awesome day and life ^.^
