THE questions
1. What ethical theories can be followed or not followed in the video games that are
covered by this assignment?
2. The Geneva Convention gives some guidelines in relation to acts of war. Is it possible
to follow this convention, and win, playing military FPS as Call of Duty and Counter
Strike? Use your own experience from playing military FPS and/or Playing by the
Rules: Applying International Humanitarian Law to Video and Computer Games, by
Frida Castillo as background for your views.
HOW the assignment should be answered and delivered
The assignment is to be solved individually and your result formulated according to the
guidelines for written work at HiNT. Deliver your essay for guidance in pdf format no later
than Monday, 04.05. 2015 at 23:00 hours, by uploading it to the deliverance folder
in
Fronter.
If you have the opportunity to play the games, either in its entirety or as a demo, you write
from practical experience. If you by some reason cannot test the games, you must find as
good descriptions and reviews and walkthrough videos of games as possible so that you can
form an opinion of the games in relation to the question.
Good luck!
