Blog # 33

My proposed idea is relevant to college students because of our current surroundings, and the environment we grew up in. With the advent of realism in films and games, we are the first generation to witness such a digital reality. As such, we should be the ones to confront the moral dilemmas that it produces. However, I don't intend to go into how it should be faced, I just wish to make the situation known. Although desensitization to death seems to have been a growing phase throughout the past hundred years or so, it seems to be escalating a far more rapid pace than it had been. The students in college now are old enough to objectively view the world around them, and are therefore able to realize what kind of situation they are placed in.

All in all, my paper is relevant because the problem is the worst with our generation, and we are the ones old enough to think about what it means. Although it may continue to get worse, I believe it may be in our best interests to address the desensitization now. Personally, I'm rather concerned about it, because I can only imagine what would happen if it got worse.

This idea is also relevant due to the current events that I discussed in my previous two blogs. As political and military events seem to be keywords of interest among the ever-curious college students, they should wonder what effect it has on them as well. With all the recent deaths and the controversy that surrounds video games, college students seem to relate to them in some fashion or another.
