Thesis Proposal

Primary text:
Video games
-Super Mario Bros. 1 (Developed by: Nintendo Entertainment System-1985)
-Grand Theft Auto 4 (Developed by: Rockstar North-2008)

Outside Sources (Obtained from Academic Search Premier)
-"The Games We Play" by Kevin A. Hassett (States that games are disconnecting the older generations and younger generations due to lack of shared experience)
-"Video Games: the Latest Scapegoat for Violence" by Christopher J. Ferguson (Basically states that human beings are naturally imitative and therefore mimic what they see one television and in video games)

Thesis:
Contemporary popular culture is far from educational in the classical sense and with the advancement of technology such as gaming, individuals will increasingly become more disconnected from each other in society.
