Further, video game playing occurs in rich socio-cultural contexts, bringing friends and family together, serving as an outlet for adolescents, and providing the “raw material” for youth culture. Finally, video game research reveals many patterns in how humans interact with technology that become increasingly important to instructional technologists as they become designers of digital environments. Through studying video games, instructional technologists can better understand the impact of technology on individuals and communities, how to support digital environments by situating them in rich social contexts. This journal article will be helping in proving that video games can be educational even though some people fear that they have negative effects upon people. Also that video games can bring families together and friends.

Throughout our lives, it seems that we are stuck in a constant struggle of finding balance. We have to provide for our family, so we work but the more we work the less we see our family. The more we focus on one aspect of life, the more we neglect another. There are many things that factor into our everyday lives, each pulling at us from its own direction. According to the Triangular Theory of Balance, there are three aspects of life that are constantly balancing and unbalancing each other.
Opportunities and Stresses of Caregiving Care giving can be extremely stressful mentally, physically, and emotionally. There are many responsibilities being a caregiver. There are responsibilities and needs that need to be met for the person you are caring for as well as your own responsibilities and needs. This can be very draining and can take a toll on your physical and emotional wellbeing. Caregiving is a broad term describing a wide range of support that can be as simple as helping with activities of daily living for people that are still independent and care for themselves, to helping someone bath, feed, dress and walk that are almost fully dependent and may even end up bedridden.
The sole provider in a single parent home often does not have the ability to work a full time job or rather obtain a job with a high paying salary. Risman states, “Women who become single mothers are especially likely to have inadequate wages… because the shortage of publicly subsidized child care makes it difficult for them to work full time.” Although single parent households with the provider working full time has a much higher chance of not living in poverty, working full-time, as Thompson states in her article, leaves less time to spend with your child. This leads to my next point. Financial stress can also lead to improper child development, education, and social exposure. To give a hypothetical example,
Love throughout the household A single parent home has some obvious disadvantages that could have a negative impact on anyone that is a member of that household. Children in the household should grow up with both a mother and a father. When kids grow up with single parents they tend to spend more time alone, which could allow them to engage in irresponsible behavior. A single parent will not be as involved in the children’s life as much because of work, or other responsibilities. A married couple could divide those responsibilities and schedule their work hours so that the kids hardly spend time alone.
There are many reasons why working class children fail to reach the ‘top of the ladder’. This is can be down to material deprivation. Working class families do not have the money to buy material goods (ie: computers, educational toys, books), good quality food or to go on days out or holidays which will expand they cultural knowledge and give them a head start in life. Children generally live in smaller houses than their middle class peers and do not have their own space to concentrate on their school work. Parents of the lower class children quite often just do not have the time to spend with their children due to preoccupation of their own problems (money, housing etc) or working unsociable hours.
