Playing videogames in class - Modern learning

Halfway through our English lesson, our teacher told us to play a videogame. The game we played was called spent. It teaches us how millions of Americans lives are, and how hard their lives are by teaching us facts while we play.

I personally learned a lot and opened my mind even more than before about how hard the poor people of America lives. They even struggled with paying for groceries, which are basic accessories we take forgiven. After playing "spent" I am thankful for that I live in Norway and have opportunities. The game kind of encouraged me to help others. 

It is scary that in even in the more developed parts of the world like USA, 14 million people are unemployed out of a total of 325 million, and that's while counting children and retirees too. And the fact that even more people have economic struggles makes me sad. The reason why is mainly because of the wealth is distributed to only a small part of the Americans. If the wealth was evenly distributed across the whole USA, everyone could have the opportunity to live a good life. 

Sadly, that's not the case today. While some people literally swim in money, some are starving to death because of the lack of it. This makes me angry, and I want to change that. If we wouldn't have crime in our world, and everyone's minds was peaceful, the whole world would have been a great place. No war, no crime, no drugs, only paradise and heaven. 

Everyone would volunteer for the people in need of it, and it would be like heaven. Just think of it, you would not even have to lock your door while gone for a vacation for several months! It would be so much better. We would easily be able to stop global warming because everyone would participate in preventing global warming from happening. 

It would be like living in heaven, except it would be a reality. The funny thing is, this is not just a thought I have right now. It is not impossible to accomplish. We just need to change our mindset and the way we live completely. This world is capable of it, we just need to make a change and take action, which is hard in this world where people are afraid of just this. 

I hope you see my mindset and don't think I'm some kind of maniac, but you don't have to believe it is the right thing. But it is possible. We would not be many countries fighting against each other to accomplish our own wealth. We are all humans. We would be one nation, one world, one people.

Thanks to the game developers for making this interesting game, and making it possible to donate money to people that are homeless and suffering. I hope this encourages others to help people in need, we all live together in this one world.
