Please use the four readings and the Errant Signal video (in Lecture 18) to write your opinion on the question of Games and Politics.Be sure to accurately summarize the positions of each before moving on to your opinion. You may do outside research if you wish, however, you may rely on the assigned readings. You may use video game examples if you have played any of the games discussed, though this is not mandatory. Remember this is a formal response, so you should do proper citation and include an intro and conclusion.
