Final Game


Game Description; Basically what you do in this game is read true life stories about hispanic teens who have committed suicide, after that you answer a question, asking you what would you have done? Maybe you can relate to them? Help and information is provided for you. You end up learning instead of you playing.

My name is Arlette and my team name is The Change, I created a game called No More, One is Enough!
The topic of my game is Teen Suicide. I want people to learn what Teen Suicide, the effects, anything can cause suicide now a days, how they can help and what to do in case of a situation like this. The player will learn from my learning goal by reading the stories in my game and answering the questions asked, there is also an about and help page which helps you learn and provides facts for you. I myself believe that the game isn't as entertaining as I thought it was going to be, but things I would like to change or improve to this game would be: adding more stories depending on other races not just Hispanic, adding a challenge-a maze or quiz, adding media based on the social issue. The most challenging part of creating this game was finding the right statistics provided for the audience. Although it was also challenging working with this topic because I can relate to it and it was sort of tough, it is a harsh topic. Even though it was hard I still made it. You just have to keep looking. I am proud of the originality that I had by being the only game about Teen Suicide, nobody else would have done it. Finishing in time was something I was proud of because last year I didn't get to finish in time, which was bad.

RESPECT

RESPECT


 Respect has many meanings. It depends in every situation. For example, Respect starts out with you. You must respect yourself first in order to have respect for other things. If you don't respect yourself, how are other things going to be respected by you? 
 Respect looks like a way to treat things in an orderly manner. In the classroom, respect appears to be how we treat each other, asking for help, doing your work, helping others, following instructions and rules. Not only that but respecting your elder(s) When it comes to the Computer Lab, things change a bit because it becomes a daily process. I mean who doesn't know how to treat property the right way?! We are very lucky to have this equipment here because no other school probably does. That means we should definitely have respect. Always put things back in its place, pick up your chair when putting in or out. Everywhere you go you represent yourself and everything you are part of. Respect will always get you to a positive path. Respect is a huge part of life and for you to be order to live life, respect must exist or else, negative comes in the way. You should definitely have respect for yourself and highly expectations for visitors. Remember that Respect will always guide you through a great path.

Nike

Nike


I am totally against Nike now! I feel bad to not have known about this. I've wear Nike mainly all my life. I am also glad I finally now know who Nike is. Everyone deserves human rights, It's not like they're not humans. It has made me realize that we ask for more than what we have. When there is people out there who have nothing. 
A $1.25 won't help them at all. At least don't take advantage of them,  make them work at an hourly schedule not forever. Increase their salary or give them a better condition place to work.
 If I could change this I would first make an organization or something like that to help kids in other countries receive education because they need it. Provide some donations for them. I wonder why they do this?! They weren't treated like that so I suggest they treat others the same way. I wonder why they do these type of things.    Taking their passports, making them sign a 3 year contract that it's not even in their language?? Are you serious??? I can see how it is impossible for them to escape that field. Now that they've been freed it is still bad because themselves didn't even know what was happening. It is like they were pretending. They're such a huge company making big amounts of money and paying very little to the workers.
