Dr. Jane McGonigal Arguement

Dr. McGonigal's argument about video games can change the world was a very good argument. The way she wrote her argument was in a very strong way. She started off by stating that she was a gamer and game designer, which is kind of interesting that she is given such a powerful speech, considering since many people think that gamers can't really do much, but I think that what she did changed that way of thinking. She supported her argument by expressing the cooperation that happens in the gaming world. If people cooperated the same way in games as they did in real life, we would get things done. She also expressed the term "epic win" which she explained as the feeling that you achieved the greatest accomplishment. In order to strenghten her argument she used four key terms that she felt really conveyed what she met. She used Urgent Optimism, Social Fabric, Blissful Publicity, and Epic Meaning, and gave examples of each which really strengthened her argument. I agree with Dr. McGonigals's argument because she is right about everything she talked about in her speech. Every example she gave makes perfect sense and I agree with all of them.
