Prepare a presentation about the pros and cons of gaming and include the following:
(10 minutes)

Effect of gaming on relationships (girlfriends/boyfriends, friends, family, etc.)

Should people play more games?
For what reason?

Are games women friendly? What is your view on this?

Finally, do the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa? Why?

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think it gets in the way of relationships when you play casually and not 24/7. I feel like they can actually strengthen a relationship if both parties can find games, they both enjoy. I don’t think games really brought me closer to anyone or been in the way. Did make lots of online friends.

I feel like games gets lots of hate for no reason. Everyone should at least try it a few times. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people. Plus, it has way more interaction than watching Netflix for example and you can teach each other stuff.

I don’t see why gaming would not connect to women. There’s lots of games on the market to choose from. It’s just, you don’t know if something isn’t fun if you’ve never tried it. And if you don’t that’s totally fine. Every person likes different stuff.

2. Ms. Peyser used to think that video games were a “drain on young men’s brains” that hobbled “their ability to form real bonds.” What do you think? Do video games get in the way of forming real relationships? Or can they actually strengthen relationships and promote social interactions, like they did for Ms. Peyser? Have you ever had an experience where video games brought you closer to someone — or got in the way of a relationship?

-It really depends on the person, like, you have people that are actually addicted to videogames and those are the people that don’t really

There are also people who play games but really just want to have a girl or boyfriend.

But videogames can have effects on your social interactions, so I just don’t play games for too long.

3. By the end of her Op-Ed, Ms. Peyser argues that video games are “more stimulating than bingeing Netflix?” Do you agree? Are they “a whole new type of media” that even more of us should be exploring together?

-Well I don’t call it a “new” media, it’s just that videogames are more popular than movies or series. They even have their own competitions of some games where you can win money.

4. Does gaming still have “a long way to go in connecting to women,” as Ms. Peyser writes? Ms. Peyser acknowledges the “problematic gender dynamics” in many video games, such as in Grand Theft Auto, but she was able to get past them simply because playing the game was so exciting. What’s your experience?

2. I dont think that playing games is a problem. I have experience that gaming is good for your social contact and bring you closer to friends. If you and your frined both like to play games you can play together and have fun while not being together.

3. I think gaming is alot of fun and good for you. I also think its better then watching netflix because you do something and you learn something.

Answer 2:
I have no experience with relationship with gaming. But think that it can be a problem if you play too much and you are no longer concerned with your relationship.

Answer 3:
I don't agree because it's not really stimulating it's more addictive for people.

Answer 4:
I have no experience with this, but I do play games. I think games do not look at the gender of the player, it’s more important that everyone likes it.

Not at all. noe experience with that.  and if it is a yes then get it in the way of a real relationships.

addicted. But netflix and gaming ar not the same thing.

answer 4

I don't have experience with that at all. and i'm glad with that.

# data[].attributes.body
Answer 1,
I think that it helps your relationship. When you both play sport games and you need to help each other out in a mission you work together and that helps you to discover how your bond is with your friend.

Answer 2,
When you play games with friend or side friends you will do that wihth interactive chat or with headphones. You discus about things and you get a fast respond.

Answer 3,
There are more girls who play games. That wil be a lot more. In this dilema you see that many of people streaming on twitch and that makes people more atractive to play games also.

# data[].attributes.body

When I just had a relationship with my girlfriend i used to play a lot of games, my girlfriend didn’t get why I was playing so much so I asked her if she wanted to play a game with me.

We played black ops 3 zombies and she enjoyed it, she wasn’t that great in the game and she died a lot but still she liked the game and finally understood why I was playing games.

So I think if you play games not that much it brings u closer to each other, but I don’t think playing too much games is good for your relationship.

1. If you share interest the relationship can grow stronger.

2. Depends on the person, if you have enough time to play games and you like it then you should play more.

3. I don't know, I don't play games, but I guess there always man soldiers and never a woman who fight in the army.

4. If you like it and it does not make you feel angry or sad or something, than you can play as much if you want if you had time, if it makes you angry or sad, find something else to waste your time.

Answer 1:

I think video games are good for young people because you learn quick English because almost all games are in English and you talk with people and they also talk English.

Answer 2:

You can build a good relationship specially for people who don’t play outside is gaming a good escape for those people and they talk with others so that relationship is going to be stronger and then you can become friends.

Answer 3:

For me I don’t have any relationships with gaming.

Answer 4:

Gaming and Netflix are different so I do not agree with her. My opinion in finding a woman in the games and then have a relationship is crazy because I do not like to find my girl on games or others things I rather find here on vacation or in a city not online

2 Video games make relationships stronger but also weaker. I never experienced a situation where it brought me further or closer to someone from playing videogames

3 watching Netflix is always fun but if they argue and either choose one. The one that dint get to do what they wanted probably felt sad for a minute.

4 I don’t see a difference in games where there aren’t a lot of boys and girls. The ones that plays the game did it because they lie the game. If they don’t like it there is no problem to by a different one

1. I think it’s different per person, everyone’s personality is different, therefore everyone reacts to things differently. For some people it can make their relationship stronger by having fun and playing together. But for others it can make the two drift away from each other because they don’t agree on each others choices in a game, or simply because one likes to spend their time gaming a lot and the other doesn’t.

2. I do think gaming is something different than watching some movies on Netflix. Gaming requires much more than only your eyes; Gaming stimulates your brain into making choices and forming opinions on things. If two people game together they have to work together, thus making these choices together, but that doesn’t always work out. I think gaming together can make you learn a lot about the other, because you can see how they react to things and choose to handle matters that can be quite dramatic.

3. I think there’s definitely some kind of stigma around female gamers, and female associations with gaming. Like it was said before in the article, female characters are only supposed to be pretty and attractive, fit to society’s standards. I don’t play too much games, but with the games I do play I’m happy to say I don’t notice it a lot. But when I look through social media or see games other people play I see that’s still something that’s very noticeable. But I think it’s getting better and better through the years and that gaming is becoming more women-friendly these days.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Yes if you play to much you don’t have time to get social or to do things with your boy/girlfriend. However, if you both like gaming you can spent time with each other and game at the same time. But if you are a bad loser it isn’t a good idea, because the worst fights can be created by a nice game of some sort.

3 no, watch a movie together is fun too and can be very stimulated to your relationship. So I think that is 50/50 for gaming and Netflix.

4. yes and no, a lot of women play games, but they play different games than men. so they have a long road to go to play the same games.

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Why or why not?

If so, tell us your goals for the year ahead in the comments. Why do you want to make these changes in your life? What specific steps will you be taking to make sure you live up to them? Or if you don't have any plans, why not?

# data[].attributes.body
I think new year's resolutions are stupid, why doing it when the new year is coming? why not the moment you think about it, and beside that nobody is doing them.

stay healthy ofcourse,
more running and ofcourse be thankfull

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have a New Year goal, I think it doesn't make much sense to do it because once you're busy it will go wrong.

I think this is unnecessary for a New Year's goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have a specific new years goal,

I just want to stay healty.. maybe eat a little bit more healthy.

I just want to spend time with friends this year, this is my last year on this school and i don't think i will start a new  education because i want to start making money and enjoy my free time.

This year has been a stressfull and busy year, i go to school five days a week and i work 3 days per week, so i almost don't have any freetime now.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions because I like to do things on the spur of the moment. I mostly thing about resolutions more in the middle of the year when everybody has failed their New Year’s resolutions.

My resolutions for the middle of the year is to have not failed my New Year’s resolution.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m personally for new years resolutions, even though I know a lot of people are against it. I think a new year is a fresh start, and why not start a new year with things to better yourself or thinking of things you’d really like to do? Of course, I agree with the argument of how you should start at any moment with ways to improve yourself or doing things that you like, but for some people the new year is a new beginning.

I have quite a few resolutions, it’s sort of a bucket list + resolutions. In 2020 I want to be more creative, so I’m going to pick up more writing, design, make jewelry etc. I also want to spend more time with friends and family, and go to at least 3 festivals, so I don’t sit home on my phone when I can have fun instead. And something which I also really like is I want to get at least 2 or 3 new piercings and 1 or 2 tattoos! :) These are just some of the things I found really important on this list, and I’m going to do my best to make them true

# data[].attributes.body
My goal is to be the first to succeed for my education. After studying I would like to work a lot so that I can only travel later whenever I want.I would also like to make my photography account / company bigger and earn a lot of money with it. I am already working on that. I also hope to register my business with the Chamber of Commerce in 2020.I also hope that I will have less trouble with people in 2020 than in 2019. Let's hope that 2020 will only be a fun year

I don't really have many goals for 2020. I always see what happens or comes. And that usually works out well.

# data[].attributes.body
New year’s resolutions,

Well I do have new year resolutions. For example, I want to eat healthier and eat not too much. I want to keep my sleeping room clean and longer than 24 hours. And some little things, find true love, be successful in business, winning the Postcode Lotterij or the Staatsloterij and become famous. There just little things.

However, it did go really well for 2 days, I think. I try to eat healthier but I don’t do it all the time. But keeping my room clean is successful for so far. I want it to keep it that way when my internship starts and continue whit that until my internship ends.

And the little things:

True love: not yet

Be successful in business: not yet

Winning the Lottery: nope, bad luck

And become famous: you can guess that answer.

Oke I am not that great with resolutions, so what that’s me.

Happy new Year

# data[].attributes.body
my opinion about new year’s resolutions

I do not have this because I think if you want to achieve something you can do it now. I do understand if people have new year’s resolutions because it gives a reason to achieve one of der goals. I often see that these goals are not being achieved, so it seems wise to me if you talk about these goals with others so that they can push you to reach your goals.

I also think that New Year's resolutions can cost a lot of money, because many people want to lose weight, they often do this by taking an abonnement at a gym. most people often don't go here after 2 weeks.

It can be good again in the sense that there are indeed people that achieve their goals, I think this is nice, just a pity that it gets busier in the gym for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a few new year goals that I to achieve.

So, the first thing I’m going to do is get a gym pass. I already do allot of swimming but I really need to workout more. And the next thing I’m going to do is doing a fight sport again. I already have a brown belt in karate but I want to do some kickboxing.

I hope that I can find an internship because I don’t have anything for now. I already had an internship but they didn’t want me because they were looking for a media designer instead of an allround-dtp’er. So, they basically wasted my time on that part.

and when I finish my internship, I will look for a job. I’m really interested in doing some cafeteria work. Or I’m going to do some delivery work because I have my driver’s license and I have my own car.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not make new year’s resolutions because I think these resolutions won’t help you with things you want to do right. It is just another day of your life, so why would this new year help with your resolutions? If you didn’t do it before new year why would you do it next year? Maybe you can do it for a couple of days but after that you will go back to your old habits like nothing is changed at all. I can say all of this because I were like this, I would make some resolutions for the next year but after a couple of days those resolutions were gone. So that is why I don’t make new resolutions for the new year and that is why I think that new resolutions won’t change your life.

🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮New Year, New You? (150+ words)

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Why or why not?

No, I don’t make new year resolutions because I set goals throughout the year. Not necessarily at the beginning. I do think it’s good to set some goals but it does not depend on new year’s to set them. If you want to achieve something, I personally think it’s best to do it as soon as possible, unless it only possible to do so at the beginning of the year.

I do have plans for this year like, trying to do my best at my internship and getting my diploma. Those things, I think, are achievable. I like to set more goals in my personal life like beginning more projects. Last year and a half were tattooing but this year I would like to focus on more graphic designing so I can have a job in a more creative setting. I don’t have a plan but I always try to promise to myself I keep making art in as many different ways possible. Because if you keep creating, you keep training to work in different ways and in a creative field it will always come in handy.

New Year, New You?Do you make New Year’s resolutions?

Why or why not? I personally don’t make any new year’s resolutions, at least not in recent years. I don’t feel like making them as I will just see what crosses my path. I of course do have goals but I don’t feel like setting them for specific years. Like that you can’t feel bad or disappointed at the end of the year because you haven’t set it for that year. But I do think you really should try your best to reach those goals. My plans for 2020 are pretty straightforward as a student. I want to do well and have a nice time at my internship but most importantly graduate without facing too many problems. And start my new course in a good way as well. Personal goal I’d say is to expand my knowledge in Design and start working with more programs. Animation is something I’d love to get better in. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I actually do not have a lot of resolutions for this new year.

Yes there are some things a can improve, but if they are not that important to me, than why would i?

Well alright…

There are small things i can tell

Things like.. trying to doo better at school..

Being more kind to others

Trying to be more productive and such.

Focusing on things that actually matter

Things like, school, work, future plans…

It is always good, when you think about what you want..

Where you want to be in the future.

With doing research and plan ahead..

You can shape your future.

But to make a start on this, it’s the best to focus on school.

Finishing the exams with good grades.

Also I would like to be more in the outside.

Walking trough nature and such.

Walking the dog, so the poor thing lives a bit longer…

My relationship with dogs:

I dont like dogs. I dont like pets at all. I think dogs have positively ecceft people that are lonely. The most people with dogs are alone and they want someone to talk to and play with.

I don’t have a special story about a dog.

I think for me animals are not that special in my life. Maybe for other people.

My first dog.

My mom wanted a dog after someone broke into our house. So my mom went searching on Marktplaats. And she find a dog, she saw the picture of him and knew ‘’this is him’’. Well it was a sad story, a woman was very sick and was looking for a new boss for her dog. So she came visit us whit the dog. The dog’s name was Ricky. Well se told us she had like a month to live. Very sad story. She left Ricky with us for two weeks so we could get used to him and he to us. But after one week we got a phone call from her best friend that she was dying. And she wanted to see Ricky one last time. And another week later she was dead. But we think that if she couldn’t find a new boss she couldn’t die peacefully and now she knew that her dog was happy with us and we were happy with Ricky.

And Ricky is still with us. Although he is sick but he is strong. But we bought him in the first place to guard the house. Well let me tell you he is the worst guard ever. If he sees someone he doesn’t know he grabs is tennis ball and bring it to him and wait so the person can throw the ball away.

Buy so what. We love him.
