Warcraft Conflicts

The short story by , “The Most Dangerous Game”, by Richard Connell deals with many external conflicts. While on a ship in the Caribbean Sea, Rainsford goes overboard after his pipe. When Rainsford is in the water he has to decide whether he is going to swim after his ship or swim to the nearby island, Ship Trap Island. After Rainsford decides to swim to the island, he “fights” his way through the jungle to come across a château who’s owner is General Zaroff who is also a hunter like Rainsford however, Zaroff hunts the most dangerous game, men. Rainsford is then given a choice to play Zaroff’s game or deal with the torturer, Ivan. During Rainsford’s experience on the island he has to deal with an external conflict while playing Zaroff’s “game”.

Often in tribalism, members of a group gather around an “alpha”. Members of a tribal group idolize these alphas and look to them for guidance in desperate times. Tribalism can sometimes be a good thing, or a bad thing. Popular examples of bad things are sexism, racism, homophobia, and ageism. Although humanity is very advanced

Some stories do not have many different conflicts in the story. For example, in “Little Red Riding Hood” there is only one conflict which is Man vs Wolf or Man vs Man, but in some stories like “The Most Dangerous Game” there are all three conflicts throughout the book. Having more conflicts gives the story a bigger theme of suspense. In “Little Red Riding Hood”, the only conflict is getting to her grandma’s house where in “The Most Dangerous Game” there are many different conflicts that give the story more suspense and make it more interesting. Furthermore, there are many examples of conflicts in the short story.

War is an inescapable pattern in history. The world is constantly in a state of war. In America, we see a war amongst ourselves with racism, discrimination, and hate crime. These wars seem meaningless, and reveal that humans have an ingrained yearning for violence. While reading the novels Beowulf, told from the perspective of a hero, and Grendel, told from the perspective of the monster, the innately violent nature of humans becomes apparent.

People tend to get fed up with life most of the time. They somehow always end up running away from their problems, or they end up pushing them away. Since Christopher McCandless was irritated by being around people, he decided to leave Atlanta for a journey to Alaska. McCandless’s journey to Alaska in 1990 was made because of the conflicts he had with others, the conflicts he had with himself, and the conflicts he had with nature once he got to his destination in Alaska.

The world was changing. It had now been 200 years since the United States of America had fallen and with it monotheism. The world was observed upon by four Gods known to the people as The Square. The Square consisted of the God of War, the God of the Sea, the God of the Sky, and the fourth was un-known. Legend states the fourth will rise when needed to resolve a conflict like no other. Many self-centered leaders had claimed themselves to be the fourth member of The Square but ironically in all cases that leader tended to lose power within a year.

The years that i'm dating back to was 1783-1860 the events that took place which was the U.S. Trade Partners and military engagements. Now think process this why is there a war in the middle of a trading process? let's get more into this subject. What i believe was going on within these maps was countries fighting over money/trade routes many countries would maybe supply more than others even getting more money than others.

World of Warcraft is the one of the most popular MMOG in the world, produced by Blizzard entertainment. It has over 11 million players around the world – 2.5 million of them in the US. The game is one of the most dominant games in the global market today, which is available in 7 languages and played in all continents, North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, including South Korea, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau. Despite many scholars believe that “the virtual worlds are always in some basic way the expression of utopian desire” (Monson). WoW is far from a perfect world. In addition to the ethnic discrimination I’ve read about in the reading this semester by Lisa Nakamura, I also realized it involves extreme stereotypes.

The Lords of War Simulation is best described by the neo-liberalist theory. Neo-liberalism best describes this game because it supports the ideology that everything humans do is in their own self interest. The theory also believes that people only cooperate with each other out of fear; actions of people playing Lords of War validate this theory. To succeed, neo-liberals need cooperation, institutions to mediate, as well as a fear of being defected on. Neo- liberals do not feel that humans are good in nature, but will argue that they have the capacity to bond together for the greater good, for their own personal benefit.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has quickly become the forefront of fantasy card games with it's unique design and exciting updates. Hearthstone is also an eSport and has had a multitude of tournaments within the past year, including two major BlizzCon events. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft continues to have ongoing success due to it having consistent updates and features being added as well as exciting expansions. In Hearthstone, there are two types of new content, there are packs and adventures, the main difference is that packs are only new cards and adventures are playable content. For example, Hearthstone's first expansion, Goblins vs Gnomes is what is referred to as a pack expansion; League of Explorers, their second expansion is adventure based. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft adventures are purchased in a wing format, meaning the adventure can be bought in separate entities. However, you can purchase the entire adventure if you do not want to buy each wing separate.

As a result of sophisticated games such as these, the pupils make less mistakes and are more prepared when they begin their high-risk careers. Aside from these rigid settings, other casual games are developing the skills of teenagers and adults in a more subtle way. Cooperative games such as World of Warcraft require teams of players to work together to reach a common goal. Each individual is given responsibilities and specific roles, and a few people are even selected to lead the group and provide direction and structure. Hundreds of similar games also teach the same teamwork, leadership, and responsibility to their players, which are all vital qualities to have in order to be successful in society.

Idols of the tribe do the most damage to man’s outlook of the world: man tends to make decision’s based on his emotions rather than logic, man clings to his first impressions, and man often twists facts to support those impressions.

Worship has transformed throughout time. The views that various cultures have on what it means to worship have become a controversial topic and a battle known as the worship wars. Could this battle be the plot of the enemy to drive God’s army apart? Despite the brokenness worship wars has brought to the church over several decades, this last year has shown a near resolution to the war.

The least preferred strategies that is unattractive to me is the using power to resolve the conflict and withdrawal from the conflict. The using power to resolve the conflict is unattractive to me, because it can an individual to persuade others to follow a particular path of action. Also, this strategy can cause an individual so seek revenge on the individuals who has defeated them (Gladding, 2016). I find withdrawal from the conflict unattractive because it can cause a conflict to escalate if the leader decides to delay an intervention. In addition, this type of strategy is shown to be unsuccessful in dealing with individuals in a crisis situation.
