Thesis for Paper2

Ideas for thesis' for Video Game Ethics paper...

Game: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Maker: EA Games

1. One direction I could take this paper is, the problem with determining between real life and videogame life. "Although disclaimers are prompted at the beginning of the games, some people have a hard time distinguishing between what's acceptable in real life versus what they can and happily do in virtual life."

2. Another direction I could take this paper would be the ethics of the driving ways themselves. "Although street racing does exist in real life, video games such as Need for Speed Hot Pursuit alter the idea greatly, causing discrepancies in ideas of otherwise acceptable activites."

3. Finally, another way I could do this paper would be the ethics of driving like that in general. "Not only in the game do you drive exotic, usually unobtainable cars at ridiculous speeds, but you are avoiding the police and arrest, sometimes to an extent that, if you're 'good enough' they send in helicopters to try and aid the groud support. Not only does this generate an idea of cops are bad and I'm just trying to have fun, but it also rewards you for doing that long enough by winning the game. This may cause the wrong ideas in some people's heads."
