Hello there! Welcome to my ePortfolio for Writing 39C, Winter 2016. Throughout the 10 weeks in this class, I have focused on a major societal issue that impacts people in the world and advocated for a better solution to the problem. I have uploaded drafts of my work and the finalized version of each work. The course was definitely challenging and there were times where I ran into a dead end, not knowing how to continue. However, with the help of my professor and my peers, I was able to overcome these walls and improve my skills as a writer.

The theme of this class was on video games and how video games can affect society, either positively or negatively. Our class text was a book named "How to Do Things With Videogames" by Ian Bogost which was meant to assist us in deciding the topics that we would talk about in our work. Personally, I think that when people associate video games and the outcomes, majority of people would say that video games negatively affect society. The first few topics people would possibly think of is that video games cause aggression, video games cause addiction, etc. I wanted to portray video games in a positive way, which gave me my topic. The topic that I chose was about the positive effects of video games on health and how video games can pose as medical treatments.
