Advice on my context project (16/1/2014)

* For this session our lecturer talked to all of us in order to find out how we have been getting on and whether or not he could recommend any resources for us to use.
The lecturer and my peers gave me the following advice...

• Use the term representation for referring to good and evil. 
• Look up 'Media and Morality'. 
• Try and find subtle examples e.g. someone who creates a polarity between two things, thus making one thing sound good and the other evil. One real world example could be George W Bush who claimed America were the good guys during the Iraq war. This could then easily blend in with the 'Call of Duty' games as you seem to always be fighting people of other ethniticities, therefore I could reference my work done in my Digital Arabs work last year.
• 'Borderlands 2's Handsome Jack is a villain who believes himself to be the hero.
• 'Grand Theft Auto's gameplay as the game encourages reckless and out of control gameplay. 
• In general try and include some real world examples to further back up my work with broad theories. 

* I also continued to work on the presentation and word document, noting down the new advice provided and finding images for my document.

* Next week we will discover more key texts that we can use in our projects.
He also recommended that we continue to find and read research online so as to keep expanding the areas we can look into.
