[mm/teen] Got Game
The game I is just played was McDonald's video game it represented big business and what types of things fast food companies would do to keep their company running. The game showed how land was taken for native people and how workers weren't happy with the working conditions. what is often showed on tv is Mcdonald's is a company that helps the community and values their workers (which sometimes can be true but only when someone says something about). there was a lot of experimentation in this game in order to succeed, you have to keep your customers, worker and animal rights people happy all at the same time to make money. To succeed i had to fail here ad there to figure out how the game worked. what makes games different form documentary news articles photographs and other form of media is that its all in one it provides photographs , historical contacts, and a character view point.

Hi, my name is Michael Filsecker, I come from Chile, and now I am study at Indiana University
I can see that you have different images about what is going on with the workers at McDonalds and its relation with the community. One comes from the game and another comes from the TV, each one with its own biases, right?…Can you describe what are yours regarding McDonalds, I mean, what do you think? What information do you have or know that might support your opinions about this?
And about the same idea, you said an interesting thing:” which sometimes can be true but only when someone says something about”. Can you say a little bit more?
Finally, what do you mean by a “character point of view”?
Thanks for the opportunity to comment on your post!

Was the game successful at convincing you of anything about McDonalds as a company? Was the game engaging and fun?
