Violence in Video Games
Although most people will not classify Video Games as online learning, I do! Anything that teachs all people something is in my mind classified as online, CBT, learning. Well it has been going on for a long, long time. The Lone Ranger of years ago on radio taught that "Good" triumphs of "Evil." On TV it was Superman, the Lone Ranger, Tom Mix, Batman, even "The Terminator" portays "Good" over "Evil." But the computer mavens of today can find nothing "Good" but all "Evil" rules.
"Grand Theft Auto" and its ilk demonstrates that "Evil" is better than "Good." Every game on the street shows that to be a criminal is better than being the good guy. Being the terrorist is better than the "Good" "Honest" people of the world.
Now TV is portraying the video game. As explained on the Slashdot Blog states that the TV series "CSI" is getting into the act. Although the outcome is that the "good" guys win it will still show that the "Bad" may win out it smart enough.
Enough is enough when will the programmers begin to realize that "Bad" is BAD, and that they can not make a good apple pie out of rotten apples.
