Games are like a Society


"In many ways, games are like a society."  - Voices in Democracy, pg. 12.






How was creating the game and rules an exercise in democracy?
  • Did everyone in your group agree on all the rules?
  • How did you deal with the differences and decide on the rules?
  • How else might you have handled differences?
  • Did the students who played your game think the rules were fair?
  • If not, how did you handle that?

When we created our game, we did not all agree on the rules, so we compromised and agreed on the rules we did like. and everyone liked the outcome.

when my group made our game we agree on one thing than did it.when we had two really good ideas we combind them to have a better idea then before

When we made are game we all had really good ideas. We then just figured out which one was the best but that didn't work. We ended up just combining all are ideas into one great game.

In our group we had a leader - two words - "that's me!"(appointed by the others) that finalized the rules and put them on paper. Our game turned out pretty good. We had fun creating it together, but didn't actually get to play it.

Games are like a society because there are different rules ,like the laws we have.If a rule in a game is broken, there is a penalty,just like in real life.

In our game, we all thought of really great ideas for our game. Once we had all the ideas, when we had all thought of all the ideas, we picked the best and that was what we did.Eventually we added all our ideas to make a better game. And we all agreed on everything which made it alot easier than having to argue about it. It was great

are rules were hard to figure out so instead of making rules that we like we made rules that the costumers liked

Games are like a sosiety because games have rules and the sosiety has rules. If a rule is broken in a hockey game you tipickly get a penlty. If you brake a rule in society you could go to jail.

When we made our game, we had so many good ideas, but we could not fit them all in the game.So we all decided on the rules and compromised. After that, we didn't have many problems and the people who played really liked it.

When we did our game we all agreed on the rules but the people who played it didn't. Games are like a society because the government makes the rules and we all have to follow them even though we might not agree with them.

Games Are Like Society because there are rules that apply to everyone. Sometimes you don't like the rules but imagine a baseball game and people just ran to whatever base they wanted or a society where people commited crimes without getting in trouble think about how unfair that would be to you

Making a game was an execise in democracy because we voted to see which rule was the best, wen we showed someother group our game, the rules were ok and they almost got to the end.
