Positive things from play and gaming

In 1938, Johan Huizinga, a history professor and rector of the University of Leyden Netherlands introduced a concept of homo ludens. A concept that emphasizes the role of humans as creatures playThis concept is outlined in the book "Homo Ludens". Since the beginning of life, human love to play. It has become an activity that is so closely related to human life. Each child learns to interact with the environment through play.

By playing, each child learn to be creative, imaginative, exploringa variety of things, and establish self-confidence. Play is learning process, an activity that is so important to the United Nations human rights committee recognized it as the right of every child.

The limited information on the positive aspects of the play, a variety of negative views about a variety of existing media game,and Rushing life style, more and make us forget the true essence of playDifficult for us to receive. Play as a learning process. This process should be our present everyday. The media presented the game should put the word educative, creative and innovative.

Play provides opportunities for children to try new things. It is simple fact that we must accept. we can immediately realize the simple solution that accompanies it. Any possible negative effects may result from the level of our disciplineDiscipline we need to present the play. Discipline in determining the type of game media, discipline in determining the portion of time, discipline in determining the opponent's play, as well as discipline in presenting ourselves completely when playing.

If we are able to bring it all, the play will actually be present as afun learning process that can then be enjoyed by all.
