Thesis Proposal

Primary Texts:

Call of Duty 1 (2003) by Activision.

When Spectators Become Performers: Contemporary Performance-Entertainments Meet the Needs of an "Unsettled" Audience by Kurt Lancaster

Thesis Statement:
Today video games have gone significantly far beyond the point of entertainment and become more complex and intellectual since after the 1990s. The video games Super Mario Bros (1985) and Call of Duty (2003) are the two examples clearly showing how video games have become more sophisticated in many ways that the society can either benefits or hurts from it.
