I’m working on a english discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

With this chapter, we’ve introduced a new concept of a third-person view game that is camera-relative. Different camera viewpoints can be found across different styles of games, with some being better suited for a game than others. Keeping this in mind, can you provide an example of a game, existing or made up, that would be a good fit for each of the following camera styles?

1. First-person camera
2. Third-person camera with the camera following or orbiting the player
3. Third-person fixed camera that doesn’t move as the player moves
4. Can you think of any other camera styles?

Watch the TED Talks “How to Protect Fast-Growing Cities from Failing” and “How to Transform Sinking Cities into Landscapes that Fight Floods.”

Both focus on more urbanized areas, but they focus on different issues. The former focuses on population issues, while the latter focuses on environmental issues. Write a short essay of about 500 to 600 words in reference to these questions:

1. What is the main point of each talk? This should be a short summary.

2. Given limited resources, should we give priority to population or environmental issues?

3. Both talks focus on urbanized areas, but are these problems unique to urbanized areas?

For the paper you can select a problem in education that has been or could be addressed either locally or nationally by providing government funding.  After stating the problem, I would like you to search the literature and select at least three research articles that address the problem. Summarize these papers.  Include your criticism.  Based on these papers, what solution(s) are suggested as an approach to address the problem.  What do you conclude?  Do you agree?  If not, can you suggest an alternative?  What kinds of evidence would you like to see published to help convince you that a policy recommendation to address this problem is valid? 

For our discussion today I want us to consider the American in American Government. By this I mean presumably there are some cultural, identity, political ideas and sentiments which shaped our early experience with government and which presumably explain our government and politics today. From reading the Mayflower Compact, the ‘What is an American’ from Crevecoeur who was writing in the late 18th century, and the Declaration of Independence, do you think there are some common ideals or ideas which can be seen from the very beginning through the present? How have these ideas (if you think there are any) continue to be of relevance today?
