Social, Ethical and Legal Issues in DOOM and Resident Evil 5

Social, legal and Ethical issues in Doom.

Columbine High School Shooting: At the columbine high school in 1999 on April the 20th  two teenagers went on a shooting spree killing 13 people and wounding more then 20 people after that they turned the guns on themselves and committing suicide, it was known as the worst high school massacre in U.S. history, they made the crime into a prompted debate on gun control and school safety, they also placed a massive investigation to figure out what motivated the two teenagers too go on a shooting spree the two teenagers were identified as Eric Harris aged 18 and Dylan Klebold aged 17, according to the report the had committed the killing spree because they were subjected to bullying, they were part of an outside group that was mainly looked apon by goth culture, or maybe it was violet video games that made them do it but none of it was really proven.

At the time of 11:19 A.M. Eric and Dylan were dressed in trench coats and began shooting students outside of the school, they then moved inside the school where they then began shooting students inside at the time of 11:35 A.M. they had already killed 12 students, 1 teacher and wounded more then 20 people after 12:00 P.M. they turned the guns on themselves and committed suicide.

the investigators later found out that the two teenagers had arrived in two different cars around 11 A.M. the morning of the massacre, the two then proceeded inside the school and went to the cafeteria, they placed two separate duffel bags containing a 20-pound propane bomb that was meant to explode at 11:17 A.M. the two then went back outside to their cars too wait for the explosion, when it failed to detonate the two then began their shooting spree.

Many people believe that the two teens did this because of playing Doom and many other violent games but no one knows why they actually did it but one of the teens had a journals left by the boys and they found out that they were planning to bomb their school for a year similar to the 1995 Oklahoma city bombings. but investigators still don't know the true true reason behind why the two teens did what they did.


Social, legal and Ethical issues in Resident Evil 5.

Problems with resident evil 5: in resident evil 5 there was a small problem with the zombies you were killing in the new release of the game, the game is set in Africa the zombies you are shooting/fighting but there was a slight problem with the game because a lot of  journalists and commentators raised concern that Resident Evil 5 is saying that Africans are a load of savages and the game is making quite a few stereotypes, when it was released a lot of people weren't happy about what they got. in the game all you were shooting at were all black people now you can see the wrong part of the picture here and a lot of people noticed causing a bunch of complaints and after those complaints got through to the company they had to fix it putting in more zombies but this time they made them mixed colors in with the others so it didn't look that bad,

In one of the scenes from the game you can see a white women running out of a house screaming for help as a infected black man comes out the house and drags the women inside with him, this isn't a good sign because this if taken into the wrong way is making it look like that the women is afraid of him causing a bit of a racial stereotype they had to change that into a slightly lighter character so that it didn't look that bad when the game was re-released in march again.
