Janet H. Murray. "Toward a Cultural Theory of Gaming: Digital Games and the Co-Evolution of Media, Mind, and Culture."

Actually, i don't have any interesting about Games, but about Game culture or about Social function of game i have interesting.
Of course the two sides, holy culture and game culture have relationship together, it means, games reflect the tendencies of culture, and it also reverse ways. A couple of years ago in Germany, one pupil in high school have killed his friends and teacher in school. After this accident, there were so many discussions about the function of games. (Computer games) The main themes were that, game solves the violence of human through virtual violence in games?, or games stimulate more violence of human. I think, it was question without answer, but anyway the both sides live very close.
