Support your oppinion with details and examples.

GAMES TEACH US ABOUT LIFE

Since the first years the games has been present in the humans. In fact some people use the game as a method to teach. For these reason I consider that games can teach about life, because through the game the people learn to establish relations with others and by the way know that is possible winning or losing. Furthermore the game is a way to know different kinds of behavior and how face those behaviors in other context.

First of all, one of the most important human activity is share with others in order to achieve our objectives, and it is easy, for example, when the child learn in his first years to share through the games; like playing table games and he recognize that always there is a winner and a looser, and that not always loss is a bad thing. Thus, when we understand that loss is part of the game is easy reach the success in our life.

Secondly, as many people believe; the game is a way to know the people and their behavior. As an example when you play black Jack is an opportunity to know if your opponent is a cheating person or if is a honest person; and whatever happens you’re going to find those kind of persons through your life.

Finally, as a conclusion and having into account the arguments explained above, I can say that games would teach us about life because through the games we can understand better the game of our lives. So I strongly recommend if you want to know someone invited to play.

Teacher's grade: 2.5 / 4

Since the beginning of time, games have been present in our cultures. In fact, some people, such as teachers and educators, use games as a method to teach. I strongly believe that games can teach us about life; this opinion is supported under the analyzation that games allow us to learn to interact with others, and that through games you can get to know people's personalities and values.

First and foremost, games teach us to interact in society. As an illustration, when a child is playing a board game, such as Monopoly, he learns to deal with money and about his financial responsibilities with others. He can also learn that sometimes we win, and other times we lose. It is clear that a successful life requires people to know to handle their finances in an effective manner. Also, it is important to know how to win and lose in life. Thus, games are a tool that help people learn about important aspects of reality.

Secondly, as many people believe games are a way to get to know people and their behaviour and personality. For instance, when you play black jack, it is an an opportunity for you to learn about your opponent; whether he is a cheating kind of person or a honest type. So, in the future, when the game is finished, you will know how you will deal with the person you played with. It is obvious that through games you can get to know what people are like.

Finally, as a conclusion, games are an excellent source of learning about important aspects of life, because through them you can learn to interact in society, plus you can discover people's personalities and bevaviour. It is recommended, for instance, that if you want to get to know someone's values and principles, you invite them to a play of poker!
