Although this game is nowhere close to realistic, it is still a decent attempt at adding realism to the gaming environment. So why not take it the next step? Add in surveillance equipment view to the radar using infrared, x-ray, parabolic listening devices, laser sighting, etc. Yes this would make it more difficult to determine whether someone was cheating but it would also decrease the advatage gap in cheating AND maintain great graphics. Playing cstrike last nite sucked, nowhere to hide... kept playin though.
is a simpler way of stating this topic. This applies everywhere that we engage in actions and speech that are seen by the community. If one is part of a community then one knows what is appropriate within the community. I would venture to go so far as saying even children know what is appropriate. And a simple explanation of what is not appropriate would clarify any questions. So if consequences for inappropriate actions are clearly laid out then mistakes will become simple learning processes.
Defining the distiction between "Porn" and healthy sexual imagery is the trick we definatley haven't mastered yet, as a whole. I think there is nothing wrong with porn in a healthy, high self esteemed person who sees it as something to stimulate an already healthy drive and desire. However, IMHO the majority is not in this group and the use of porn can be more harmful to any age without the aforementioned characteristics. Porn can act similiar to a drug, a quick thrill, and push what healthy sexuality is further away from that person. With this view however there is even more reason to maintain free and open communication about such matters as communication is a grand tool for education.
