People with patience could get the rewards.
After weeks of considering, I decided to change the Education issues to Psychology.
Since Education issues are too serious for me, and it takes a long time to search and learn something new. As far as I'm concerned, I haven't had the ability to do what I'm not familiar with. But I suppose that both of them are corresponding in somewhere.
Well, I've done an assignment about Video Games. And I chose a topic that didn't seem to relate to video games. It's about Otaku. And I think it relates to psychology to a certain extent.
Otaku is a Japanese term for those who are enthusiastic about certain things. For recent years, it has been defined as a person who sits at computer desk all day long, and looks like a pervert lingering around public areas or parks. The average ages of Otaku range from 10 to 40, and even younger. Most of them while away their time doing nothing but playing PC games instead. Temptations for playing video games are poisons. One of them is to escape from the reality. Other reasons are fulfilling the dreams that can't be carried out, and doing things that is guilty or is not allowed in the view of society.
The urgent problem is that the logic of games is set in certain types, which means Otaku are exposed to the same old thoughts in it. It's terrible for human beings to think and live in the same circle. Furthermore, the relationship of the community is getting worse since most of the Otaku will turn down friends' invitations, or even their friends will stay and build up a virtual empire together on the screen; eventually, the friendship becomes void and meaningless.
The authorities should focus on the Otaku issue since teenagers are the great powers for the community, and the government should take measures to prevent these new pillars from rotting. The world is becoming far more convenient than ten years ago, and it's a new epoch of super many people being unemployed. To improve the competitive advantage of our own, perhaps we'd better manage to brainstorm every moment when meeting a new problem, rather than surrendering to the reality and spoiling ourselves as an Otaku does. Being an Otaku is not that bad, but it goes against the meaning of why individuals exist on earth. After all, we are the kind of animals that have our own thoughts. Keep standing out the priceless spirit within, and don't waste the gift from God.
Umm... It takes patience to read the paragraphs.
Okay, here is a reward. Let's take a short quiz.
Imagine that today's your birthday. You receive lots of birthday cards.
You read all of them and "WOW!".
There was a suprising person who sent the card to you. Who was that surprising person?
And you opened all the presents that you got today.
WOW! The biggest one. Who gave it to you?
I'm sorry for the poor description of the game.
But I guess you can understand what I wanna say.
And we'll see the answer next time at the end of another article. :P
Interesting topic.
ReplyDeleteOne can be devoted to just about anything at an unhealthy level, but being a total devotee to something isn't automatically unhealthy in my opinion.
Yesterday I was in Taipei, and while walking around I walked through a cosplay convention. There must have been hundreds and hundreds of people dressed up as anime characters. They were very creative. Of course it was really surprising to suddenly find myself surrounded by so many people in such strange costumes, but it was actually pretty cool.
It actually reminded me of trekkies (star trek fans) which can be found in the US and all around the world. There are some people who have an unhealthy devotion, but most of the even tremendously obsessed use it to learn something, express themselves, find like minded people, and so on.
