Best Argument Against Game Haters

The different of me and the character is very clear, in the reality my body has a lot of physical disabilities. But when I login to the game Star War galaxies everything is different, I can ride a jet, punch monster in their face, hang out with friends at a bar, etc. I play online game because I get to interact with other people no matter who they are. Virtual world bring everybody together, and everyone is on the common ground. In reality people might not feel comfortable getting around me because of my looks. The internet eliminate how you look in real life, people get to know other's mind and personalities first. In a game fair in Austin People that were intrigued by me, but they act just as i was one of them, treated me equal like I wasn't even the way i am - not disabled, not in wheelchair, but as a gamer.

"Fewer children seen frequenting libraries"

      These year Thai citizen are reading less and less, they would prefer to do activity such as playing online games and play sports or stay in the house. Even there are more than 10,000 citizen in the area but the library have only less than 1000 members, the other 2 library have only about 600-700 members.

      According to Arunee library's manager on weekday have around 10-20 people and on weekend 20-30 people. The (Bangkok Metropolitan Administration)BMA of Thailand encourage people to read more and make it become an habit. So they have many activity in the library as well as rewarding for reading.

Major Concepts:

• Reading rates per year - Which shows very clear what is the different from other country
• Show what is read - Knowing what category of book is often read
• What happens in the library - We may never know that there are activity in the library

Potential Advantages:

• Number of People - Not much research shows how many people were involve in the research/paper

Potential Disadvantages: 

• Difficult to Convince - Not many people will notice what is the reason to go to library

Discussion Questions:

• In this research do they count E-Book as a book as well or just "Books"?
• Adjusting to the community is one way but how?
• Do they mean it is a MUST to read in the library?
