Hi, though I haven't submitted any standpoints yet but surely these is really gonna be useful to me and I hope I'm gonna be among the people winning a goodie bag and yes my standpoint is surely gonna be on my favorite topic I'm yet to choose but it's eithe"enhanced games or "women in media" because I really know so much and really enjoyed this topics because I've heard so much about this topic and also seen it before the topical talk begun and is still happening in some communities around me.
WOMAN IN MEDIA
Woman in Media are having a tough time since they are being bullied and being treated unfairly online. I believe that International Women’s Day isn’t enough to show people that they are being bullied and that it needs to stop. Online Social Biases are happening to women all around the world and it’s unfair that they are being bullied. It has to stop. Everyone should learn this somehow because it’s important and it helps us notice bulling online or Social Biases. Lots of children, especially girls are not going to school because of this issue but the big impact that happened recently has affected the way people treat woman. However, some people are still treating woman unfairly online. Everyone needs to try to make impacts and help online bulling be stopped.
ENHANCED GAMES
Enhanced games are the most critical problems in my opinion. Because the players are using illegal drugs item to enhance their performance which I understood as a cheating which is illegal in games. There is not any single rule in any single game that they can do cheating. In my opinion they are using drugs for enhancing their performance but they don't know that how much big problem they have called in their life. Drugs cannot enhance their performance only drugs can take their life also.
So, at last I want say that the players should aware about the side effects of drugs. To control following one problem we all should be together and we should control these types of as fast as we can.
I have submitted mine, I followed all these rules and my standpoint went really well. Up levelling is very useful, especially if you can get someone else to check it for you. Also, remember to include lots of facts, and constantly be searching for more! Make sure to use all these very helpful tips!
I enjoyed sharing my opinion about Ai in education and in Life: To Be Or Not To Be! Ai also known as artificial intelligence has lots of pros and cons with different perspectives in each division. Like how Elon Musk think that Ai will help us but Scott Pelley wonders if we know what we are doing. I was reasearching for a WHOLE DAY finding evidence but the hardest part was to put all of it in 2 minutes so I had to talk some information that I thought might not be too relevant! Thanks!
