...None of us are at all unfamiliar with the term "gaming". Gaming is an extremely popular hobby in the modern world. All of us are familiar with big titles like Grand Theft Auto,Need For Speed,Assassin's Creed and others. Earlier,it was thought that gaming was only meant for teenagers,however,it not so any longer. There are no restrictions on who can become a gamer - and,trust me,all one needs to be a gamer is a passion for gaming. The gaming industry had started to thrive at the end of the Cold War years,when old timers like Mario and Contra made our day. (I still remember myself sitting in front of my TV with my Atari,killing a boss on Contra and wishing for an S gun). Since then, there has been a gradual development of the industry,promoting the creation of better games with more features than was imagined only a few years before. Big companies like Take-Two Interactive,Ubisoft,Electronic Arts,etc. have really promoted the gaming industry through their games,which mop up millions of dollars in revenue in games sales as well as sales of downloadable content offered on their games to enhance the gaming experience. Now,we have games of every generation in our hands. Be it action,adventure,RPG,racing,shooter,open world,etc. we have all it takes to enjoy atleast an hour or two before our gaming instruments (a PC or a console). The gaming industry has not only directly provided employment to many tech geniuses who would otherwise have been left unemployed or working in some office...

...GAMING DOES HELP YOU AT TIMES To develop a skill in something which you are interested in also helps you use those skills in your daily life. One such sport is gaming. Though it may seem that it has no fundamental use in our day to day life, it shapes our concentration to an extent where we can utilise it for other things. It is said that non gamers can see 3 to 4 objects at a time and react, gamers can see about 6 to 7 objects at a time and the reaction time is quicker than that of a non gamer. It is seen that those who are socially awkward tend to open up while they play games online. They tend to communicate their whereabouts in the game itself which results in making new friends when there is a team game. The coordination between your eyes and your hands tend to sync according to your brain’s command which results in quick movement and fast reflexes when in the real world and not in the world of simulation and first person shooting. There are many merits in gaming but there are two sides to every coin. As much as how gaming can be useful for body control, increase in concentration, there are also a few demerits to it too. You can differentiaite gaming as team games and a single player games. Most of this generation games are of team games but there are also a few single player games which many people do play. They tend to be isolated from the social world and are confined to their “gaming chambers” as some people call them. They do not want to make many friends...

...Online gaming has been increase so quick and much that almost all people have some experience with it. The freedom of playing and the gamers can do whatever they want within the game to not only entertain but release some pressure from the real life as well. However, the majority of the gamers is still male-based and they used to express their feelings by saying women-offended words even with the fast increasing female gamer nowadays. No matter it's by foul-mouthed, or purpose, being called "cunt," "bitch," "slut" and other common misogynist epithets does not make people feel comfortable even for male. Some game developers want to, from their perspective, make things right which is to ban the user whoever make sexual-offended comments either in verbally or literally in order to make the online gaming community clean. Or in gamers' point of view, it's only a game. Game developers such as Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill are trying to find a way to eliminate online gaming sexual harassment. They offer permanent banning for the user that violates the regulation. Nevertheless, they sometimes do not realize the fact that people tend to do things that regulators do not allow; moreover, they can create more accounts if their accounts had been banned. The method of banning accounts while users made harassed comments is not a proper way to eliminate this type of action since people would still find ways such as symbolized words, icons, images etc.to express what they intended...

...the identification of a specific culture group/speech community/community of practice you will be researching and the reason why you selected that group (2 pts); After watching the Anthropology of YouTube video, the online community sparked my interests. If I had to choose, I would decide to study the online gaming community; for example Xbox live or computer games. I would consider myself to be a part of this community and would love to dive deeper into the communication during gaming and how the language can be brought into every day social interaction. 2. the specific language practices or linguistic structures you are interested in studying and why (3 pts); First and foremost, I want to look at the pragmatics of the gaming speech. I think it would be a great way to understand how new words are formed and I want to know why they are formed. Then, I would like to look at morphology and syntax. I know of some terms that I have seen created while interacting in the game “League of Legends.” I just think it is cool to see these new words and how they are used to be funny or communicate in a different way.

...2014 a) Phil N. Tropic should recognize this as the asset. In the Conceptual Framework (CF) of IASB, it states that an item can be recognized as the asset if it meets the definition of the asset and meets the recognition criteria at the same time (IASB, 2014). And the definition of the asset in CF is “a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity” (IASB, 2014). In other words, if the item is an asset, it must have three characteristics: it can generate inflows of future economic benefits; it is controlled by the entity as a resource; and the transaction or event giving rise to the control must already have occurred. For the recognition criteria, CF states that “ an entity recognises an item that meets the definition of an element if it is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to or from the entity and the item has a cost or value that can be measured with reliability” (IASB, 2014). In this situation, the lottery ticket meets the definition of the asset. Because it can be traded in the secondary market and generate the inflows of the future economic benefit which is €90 in cash. And the event for controlling it also has occurred. It meets the recognition criteria as well. The future economic benefit associated with the lottery ticket is €90 which is the price in the secondary market. Gaining €90 can occur with a high probability compared to wining...

...learns to drive, engaging in sex or smoking, or using illegal substances or medications not prescribed to them, teenagers think of themselves as invincible and able to handle anything. Some activities start as innocuous behaviors and only later are found to be harmful, such as using tanning booths to look healthy. New to this list of activities in which adolescents engage is gambling. It occurs with such great prevalence that it is not always recognized as gambling; yet, this behavior, as with any risky behavior, can be detrimental to an adolescent’s health. Gambling, sometimes referred to as “gaming,” is defined as the practice of playing games of chance or betting in the hope of winning money or something of value; it involves risk and uncertainty (Verbeke & Kittrick-Nathan, 2007). While the term gambling often is associated with a criminal activity, the word “gaming” often refers to these same activities or others that have become legalized (Humphrey, 2007). In this article, the terms will be used...

...Abstract (Summary) The topic that this paper has chosen to study is Gambling. It will look at the relationship between gambling and alcohol. The Research Question of this study is “How does the use of alcohol influence gambling, among young adults in Montreal?” The Research Hypothesis is “If a young adult in Montreal consumes alcohol while gambling, then they are more likely to be negatively effected.” The research method I used to gather my information was Surveys. The sample consisted of 93 young adults that live in Montreal. It was found that there was not a strong relationship that alcohol effects gambling behaviour negatively. The research hypothesis was not proven due to fact that there was no correlation between the two variables. Introduction Gambling and Alcohol are two big problems that society faces. For several years, these two agents, independent of each other, have separated families and ruined lives. Many young adults combine these the two agents, which has seen even more disastrous effects. In the study by David Giacopassi, B. Grant Stitt, and Margaret Vandiver, it was found that 54% of college students drank alcohol either “Occasionally”, “Frequently” or “Always”, when they were gambling. This study will look at Gambling and its relationship with alcohol. It will be looking to see what effect alcohol causes on those who are gambling. It will also compare this result with those who do not drink and gamble. Literature...

...Introduction: Overview and Summary Statements Unemployment is at and all time high, we hear daily reports about diminishing state revenues. In the face of this tough economic news elected officials have come up with new and some old recycled solutions to feed our hungry revenue nation. The most common idea that gets debated upon is whether or not we should roll the dice and legalize gambling as a revenue winner. The advocates view on legalizing gambling point out that its productive way to bring in new jobs, a first class, environmentally friendly resorts, and a steady long term revenue stream for the state and several towns. On the flip side critic our set on the belief that legalizing gambling is going to strike back at the people and their homes creating addictive gamblers, crime level will sky rocket and local business will suffer from the new change. The Voice of the Pro Advocates Why is gambling being so frowned upon by critics? The present movement to legalize gambling which got under way in 1960 is still making some gain, but has however become greatly unpopular, and has slowed down! Although some short of gambling is legal in all but two states (Hawaii and Utah) why does it continue to be denounced? One reason that keeps pooping up, is critics feel the right to label it as being “unproductive” and therefore wasteful, but what is productive then? Back in the early 18th century one early view was that only agriculture was productive, and that manufacture was unproductive...

...Writing 102 Section 97 11 April 2013 Casinos: The Golden Nugget of the Gulf Coast It was all started in June of 1990 when the state of Mississippi legislature legalized dockside gambling along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with the Mississippi Gaming Control Act. Then, in late August of 1992, the Isle of Capri casino’s first riverboats docked at the east end of Biloxi Beach in Biloxi, Mississippi to take in passengers to gamble on shore and since then Gulf Coast has never looked back. However, not everyone in 1990 was in favor of the newly enacted Gaming Control Act especially along the Gulf Coast. Many of the coastal resident families and others living near these towns have been living there for generations and were not ready to see their “sleepy town” transformed into “the nation’s hottest new gambling hub” (Myerson). Many of these residents and public officials believed legalizing gaming would promote “crime, higher rates of divorce, and poverty from personal bankruptcy” from residents spending their life savings (Myerson). Now more than twenty years later the exact opposite of oppositionist’s future predictions have occurred and casinos have been the greatest thing to happen to the Mississippi Gulf Coast since the seafood industry began. The coastal casinos do countless great things such as lower property taxes, fund public school projects, give back millions of dollars to charity, greatly enhanced the tourism market, drives the economical activity, and much more...

...Effects of Casinos Review of Literature The Effects of Casinos and the Gaming Industry: Their negative effects outweigh the benefits Fall 2011 With the rapid growth of permitted gambling in the United States, much debate has risen over the positive and negative impacts of the gaming industry and casinos upon our society. Very little research has been done in the past to assess the influences upon our communities and our citizens. However, more and more issues are surfacing that are inducing much concern. The longer these establishments exist in our communities, the more their damaging effects are being felt. Those who are investigating this subject are coming to a unified conclusion: Casinos and gambling have many negative effects, far more than the few benefits that they provide. This country has undergone a gambling boom over the last two decades, and this popular past-time activity is still on the rise with new casinos being built every year. Before 1978, there were no casinos outside of Nevada (Grinols, 2006). Today there is some form of legalized gambling in every state except two: Hawaii and Utah. (Kearney, 2005) Commercial casino revenues increased 266% from $8.7 billion in 1990 to $31.8 billion in 1999. (NGISCR, 1999) Commercial casino revenues were recorded at $37.5 billion in 2007. (AGA, 2011) Revenues were recorded at 34.6 billion in 2010 (AGA, 2011), a staggering amount even after the drastic economic decline our economy endured in the previous...
