    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a video game made for 2 consoles system as well as computers. It's a game known to be one of the best of its series and overall being a fantastic game. It targets those people who enjoy a good adventure and lots of action involve. It's a big sandbox practically but the setting and everything else is set for you, you just have to choose what path you take and how you do it doesn't really matter. This game is filled with so much from mythical creatures to legends. The game itself is friendly, with positive and negative attitudes. It's all positive but you just to be the hero or villain and it effects the game play with every choice done.
   The game has many beliefs due to the characters and mythical creatures it has. It has priest that may go against those who a pose and are religious because of what the priest do in the game and so on. It's mix with a whole lot of stuff in this game that make it a good game. The value of this game can be a lot as the person makes it valuale to themselfs. I can say for sure this is a addicting game for those who would enjoy it because there is just a whole lot of stuff to do in the game that they make it a priority to accomplish everything in it, but I can say this now that they will take more than one hundred hours to get close to finishing the game and the downloadable content doesn't count because it just adds more to the game.
   I can say for sure that it doesn't challenge are beliefs and values today because the game itself takes back to an era of dragons, witches, kings and queens, etc. We don't have that today and some are just fantasy dreams. The only thing I will say is the way we live today compared to the people in the game. It's the same just more advance in structure and what we use to build homes and how we live.
   Skyrim doesn't promote negative behavior for sure because the game is friendly and rated M for mature which distinguish one of many traits a person can have. Sure, you can kill innocent people but it doesn't affect the person who they are because in the game you use weapons that may not even exist today and there is a penalty for killing today. No escape or returning back to the way things were. A kind sentence to jail that's for sure. On the other side, it does promote positive behavior because you can be the righteous person or how in the game it would be describe as a warrior, thief, and mage. You can choose one to be your main ability or all three with the recent update that was made through the game.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim is the fifth series or franchise I should say for the Elder scroll games to which is one of the best games to ever be made. When I first played through the main story line of this game I was a bit confused as to what I was doing and what I had to do. As days passed I was starting to get more into the game and understanding what must be done. It got the point where I was addicted to the game for a while because there was so much to do in the game and a lot to discover. Shown in the case of this game I only saw fighting dragons and having a journey, but there is a whole lot more in the game; a lot of side quest and journeys to take on and some have effects to the game. I didn't expect for this game to have so much and adventure. I like adventure games so this brought me more expectations to the game and it brought even more. Its to be said that this game has more than 100 hours of gameplay which is big considering the fact that other games struggle to bring at least 20 hours of gameplay. The game did bring pleasure and enjoyment to playing it just because it brought something too me that I didn't know I would like which is dragons, ancient time, creatures, powers, etc. This game brings entertainment to me as it does to others cause overall this game is amazing with a high rating and many awards. 

Advertising trends

Today in society, a lot of areas require your information to have access or be able to take on some promotions being advertise. Any where you go that sells stuff require some type of information whether it be a signature or something more personal. I know this for a fact because everywhere I go to shop for electronic to furniture I'm ask for my personal information to see if I'm eligable to become one of their members award group and be able to get some type discounts or what not. People now in days don't carry straight up cash but a debit or credit car which would require a signature at the end of a purchase sometimes, not always but when it's something more pricey than average. Companies use us as we use them to buy they're product. Not all companies use us the same as others but some take advantage in doing so. It's I guess how society is today. What ever is being advertise people fall for it and might think by signing up for something you would get better things but in reality the companies use us. It's just business as they would say but with people's information. By signing up for something I feel like it's signing up for something else and not what is being said. They say something but not everything. It's harmful to the consumer cause they may not know entirely what exactly they are signing up for. People aren't in control no more of their information because they let small business or even big business take hold of they're information.
