The document discusses several debates around the effects of video games, including violence, explicit sexual content, abusive language, addiction, stereotyping and representation, and censorship. It presents perspectives from researchers and the author's own beliefs. The author believes that violence in games does not directly cause real-world violence, and that inappropriate language or stereotypes can be interpreted differently depending on a person's maturity. The author also argues that addiction to gaming is not serious and is more of a hobby, and that censorship of games goes too far.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. VIOLENCE
Violent video games such as
Grand Thef t Auto are of ten
brought up by researchers in
their studies about the topic
of violence in video games.
What I believe is that violence
within a game does not cause
violence in real life, it only
occurs when a certain person
already has an anger issue of
some kind which does not
mean that a video game
causes that person to become
even worse.

3. EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT
Explicit sexuality content in video
games is defined as: a video game
character in sexually revealing
clothing, a character per forming
overtly sexual behaviour, displays
of nudity, and/or the use of sex as
a reward for game play.
Women are less likely to appear in
video game than male characters
When they are, they are of ten
depicted as helpless, weak, and in
need of saving.

4. ABUSIVE/ INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
Family life professor at the
university Sarah Coyne explained
that the findings revealed that
exposure to bad language is
associated with acceptance and
use of similar language, which in
turn influences both physical and
verbal aggression.
I believe that inappropriate
language from game will only be
iterpretated mostly by immature
teens who and does not ef fect
there aggression in the long
term as some researchers would
like to believe.

5. ADDICTION
There are two major types of video
games and therefore two major
types of video games addictions.
Video games are generally
designed to be played by a single
player and involve a clear goal or
mission, such as rescuing a
princess. The addiction in these
games is of ten related to
completing that mission or beating
a high score or preset standard.

ds/game-images-wallwuzz-hd-wallpaper-
822.jpg
6. The other type of video
game addiction is
associated with online
multiplayer games.
These games are played
online with other people
and are especially
addictive because they
generally have no
ending.

ow_grpq.jpg
7. I Think that “addiction
to gaming” is taken way
to seriously as it is only
used to be hobby like
doing a sport or going
to club, you do that to
enjoy yourself so there
is no addiction side it is
mainly playing a game
to enjoy yourself.

8. STEREOTYPING AND REPRESENTATION
A main example of a huge
stereotypical would Duke Nukem who
shown to be a wise-cracking tough
guy, He is also apparently sexually
adept and irresistible to women, and
circumstances frequently find him
surrounded by many buxom women.
I think stereotyping a character is
used ef fectively as it gives the
impression in most games that you
are the hero and you must save
something or someone, this gives the
player a sense of achievement and I
believe if this was taken away from a
game then the game may not turn out
to be good game.

9. CENSORSHIP
Censorship is where are game
is judged on whether it can be
published to the public or not
and if it isn't it will be banned,
meaning it cannot be
purchased. For example Bully
was banned in Brazil in April
2008. The decision was made
from the state of “Rio Grande
do Sul” which claims that the
game would be potentially
harmful to teenagers and
adults. Anyone caught selling
or owning the game would face
a daily fine of R$1,000.00.
