Call of War

War games like Call of Duty should be allowed because it is a game and it and it helps the military recruit people for war. Our country is as strong as it because its recruiting department is really good. This lets our troops have as much backup as it needs. I know that in call of Duty game it makes war look like a game, but when you sing up for the army you he to go through rigorous training. After the training you can always resign.  I feel that more games like Call of Duty should be created.
            To begin with, the resign that America is so strong is that our army is strong dedicated and we have a lot of people in it so that we will never die down. We owe this to our recruiting system. One way this is good is we have advertising that support our troops and we have many things that encourage people to go into the army. We also have interesting way for people to know about war like Call of Duty, which is good. We also have the G.I bill that has the government pay for some of our army’s education for four years.
            In addition to, having a powerful army recruiting system, we also have a rigorous training system that involves pushing the human body to its limit. If you fail this course you are not allowed to join the army anyway. This disqualifies anyone who just joined the army because war looked cool in a video game. In fact I play Call of Duty and I will say that I am pretty good at it, but I would never want to join the army because there are sometimes in a level where I die more times then I kill other people. I would also not want to risk the fact of me dyeing to know if I’m good at KILLING someone in real life, which in itself I frown upon.
            Even though, playing C.o.D is fun it is frustrating. There are times that it feels like there one thousand people against you and I think that would be a turnoff to joining the army. There has been many studies that show that when people play video games their heart rate to increase that makes people flustered and agitated. The reason people continue to play C.o.D is because when they continue to play Call of Duty they become better. When people play do well they feel a feeling of accomplishment.
            In conclusion, I feel that call of duty should stay on the shelves at stores because it is a business that makes money and is fun to play. In the end it is not harming anyone because it is helping our army grow stronger. There is also rigorous training that will discourage anyone who does not know what he or she is getting into at that moment. That is why Call of Duty should still be sold in stores.

Imperalism in IROBOT

                Imperialism is a topic that is seen all over the world. It is also seen in movies all the time.  The movie that has an underlying theme of imperialism is a movie called “IROBOT.”  This movie is about how man has gotten so smart with technology that they cannot control it and it eventually takes over. This has an underlying theme of imperialism because it shows that technology is stronger than men so it takes over. A few key point are that at the begging of the movie the protagonist disliked that humanity relied all on robots. Then at the turning point of the movie there was one stray robot that killed his creator. After that we find out that, that robot was actually created to kill all the other robots that were turning evil. Finally we find out that the robots wanted to take over the world because they thought the humans made too many errors and were irresponsible.
                 This movie is a perfect example of imperialism because it shows that the robots thought they were superior to the humans, and that they thought if they took over the world it would make their outcome in life better. This is the exactly like imperialism, in that one nation takes over another nation to make their outcome better. America does this to Hawaii in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They did it by having their marines come on to the coast of Hawaii and ask Queen Liliuokalani to sign over her nation to make ours better.  She signed it over peacefully but she did put up a legal battle for it.
                Another part in the movie shows that the humans were doing fine on their own. This is like imperialism in that nations will take over other nations no matter if they are doing fine on their own. One nation takes over another nation so that they can become stronger and superior to every nation in the world. There is a part in the movie where it shows the hero drowning and a little girl drowning at the same time and a robot comes down to save them and it saves the hero because he just had a higher percentage of living also show a little bit of imperialism. This is showcased in this scene because how nations take control of one another is a lot of mathematics involved to see if they can take over the other country.
                In conclusion, “IROBOT” shows a lot of imperialism. In the reason that its basically one type of thing taking over another. There is also so scenes where you have to look deep to realize that there is imperils there. When one thing takes control of another thing that can sustain itself is never good. It shows that they think that they are better then everyone and will eventually lead to their own downfall or demise. That is why “IROBOT” shows underlying themes of imperialism throughout the whole movie.
