What Do YOU Think About Using Social Media for Social Good? [Survey]

They’ve learned a lot from this campaign so far and received a great deal of helpful feedback, and now They’d like to turn their experience into a case study that will benefit organizations interested in using social media. But to do so, they need your help!

Gaming & Death.

TOP GUN

On the 2008 Thanksgiving weekend, Steve and Angelika Crisp confiscated their son Brandon’s Xbox. The Crisps could not have foreseen the tragic consequences. Brandon retaliated by running away from home – his body was discovered three weeks later. Brandon’s death became a national news story – he was not just another teen runaway. Brandon’s disappearance and death revealed to parents a darker aspect to their children ‘s gaming: addiction. And as gamers are drawn into an alternate world their need to play is fuelled by dreams of international glory and the chance to win thousands of dollars on a professional gaming circuit.In a fifth estate investigation by reporter Gillian Findlay, viewers will go inside this virtual community – where gaming addiction can trump even family and friends.

The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri’s poetic masterpiece is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and on to the glorious realm of Paradise-the sphere of universal harmony and eternal salvation.

One of the greatest works in literature, Dantes story-poem is an allegory that represents mankind as it exposes itself, by its merits or demerits, to the rewards or the punishments of justice. A single listening will reveal Dantes visual imagination and uncanny power to make the spiritual visible. Translated by John Ciardi.
