                Dr. Jane McGonigal is making a good argument. In most arguments you need a problem on current events such as hers which is, there are too many conflicts in the world. Also there is millions or billions of hours put in on online games by gamers in the world each week. So that is what is happening today. She uses ethos and logos in this process with statistics and studies from credible sources. Next she then brings in the proposal or the solution to the conflicts in the world. There for video games and video gamers will save the human race from their conflicts and from total annihilation. If you ask me this plays with your mind, if you think about it is pathos since I don’t want to die or my younger siblings to do so. After this she gives to us what I call solvency. This step tells us what is going to happen when gamers are in the real world ready to save the tribe. Know she states that she has made some games as experiments to see how online gamers do in what could happen in some years from now. The first subject was if there was no oil or gas and the planet how would the people react. She then states that people have gotten habits from this game and others to live their normal lives much more careful. Another interesting thing she does is give a story. She has a story to kind of give us another perspective of the situation. The dice theory was very eye or ear catching and this is using ethos and pathos because of the study behind it and the fact that Libyans solved their hunger problem and then became the Roman Empire, I felt proud of that. If you ask me she has all the essentials to make a good argument. If I agree with her is a different story. To make things short the military outweighs gamers. Military are more experienced in the field and in real live missions and gamers only in the television. In games you get killed and you get revived and back in the game but in real live your dead and guess what the chances are you will stay dead. So no I do not agree.
