Term 2 Week 2 Task 4

Teens playing rape games on Net. reported by THE NEW PAPER, 10 MARCH 2007.



I read with shock that there are many teens playing rape games on the internet. According to THE NEW PAPER [10 March ], one of the secondary school teachers interviewed said that 35 out of his class of 40 knew about these online rape games. The "victim" in the brutal game who is drawn in anime style is being tied up and blindfolded. The worried issue is that about 20 admitted to having logged on to the websites. It brought to us this question : will the teens grow up with warped values?

It is very sad that teens are playing such unhealthy games. It is worse than pornography! Teens are not mentally matured, they see games like these fun and exciting. Once teens get hooked to such immoral games, there may get addicted. This imposes potential danger on the teens as they may act out what they have played in the games in real life. This is terrifying. Just imaging how the world will be like in twenty years' time if teens were to take raping as an "exciting activity"?

Playing of rape games brings only cons to the players and the society. The players are apparently sick in the mind, they may do inevitable harm to the society and create social disorder for all of us. This is something none of us would like to experience in the near future.

Rape games must be banned in the shortest possible time. Parents should keep close track on what do their children do online. If necessary, restrict the websites their children go to or install mechanism in place that automatically stops the access to such websites. They should also spend more time communicating with their children and instill in them the right values.

As most teens themselves are not aware of the effects they may get from playing these type of games, teachers can assist them by opening up consultations or give them more lectures on moral values. Should there be any changes shown by students, teachers must act fast to detect if they are indulge in such games.

The government can also punish anyone from uploading these games on the internet. It can also filter off those ferocious games from gaining entry into Singapore websites. Lastly, the government can also take some kind of measure to block teens from playing the games.

In conclusion, playing rape games is inhuman. If we would like to continue enjoying the current low crime rate and peaceful society we have in Singapore, it's our role to barricade the rape games now.

self - introduction. --- GP

Hi, I am Wang Yajuan [ Kathy ] from PDG 08/07. I was from Riverside Secondary School which is in Woodlands. I spent my first three months in Nanyang JC and find it a dynamic and warm college. My CCA in Riverside was symphonic band. I played the flute. Currently I am still in symphonic band in AJC. However I will quit band after SYF and join the Guitar Club as I would like to learn something new.

I think that I am a bubbly [though sometimes too talkative] and responsible person. I take my schoolwork serious but I am definitely NOT a mugger. I love to study yet like to play. I love Maths, Bio and Chem, but for some practical reasons, I take Phys at H2 level instead of Bio.
Life in JC is a tremendous change as compared to secondary school's. We are tied with our hectic schedules and always have not enough sleep. This is very unhealthy for students like us.

*beaming*

Since young I have been dreaming of becoming a teacher. However I changed my ambition till the out broke of SARS. It was only then I was aspired to be a doctor [ or a gynaecologist]. I want to save people and hope to make a difference in someone else's life. I love babies as they are so innocent and adorable. Though it is my dream, I know I cannot make it. I am not being pessimistic. . . I am easily intimidated by the sights of wounds, blood and even little creatures like worms and lizards. . .

The doctor-wanna-be?

I think I am just building castle in the air! My hobbies are collecting stamps, shopping, sleeping, dancing, playing musical instruments swimming and playing badminton. I love the sea and mountain where I can indulge in a state of tranquil.

Sad to add, I am very careless and always unpunctual for appointments.
