About me
I was born on the 21st of March in 1993, I was raised in Hull and moved to Scarborough in 2012 for university. The majority of my sections on this page are about my engagement with technology, which says a lot about me. Even since I started studying digital media studies in 2010 I've always been interested in the effects, I find this such an interesting subject due to the size and income for the media.
Hobbies
Education
I am currently in my second year of Digital Media Studies at the University of Hull Scarborough campus. Previously I attended Mersey Primary School, then Trinity House School which at the time was a naval school, whilst at Trinity I was taught how to sail Toppers. Every Wednesday I would study animal management as a vocational course at Bishop Burton whilst attending Trinity. After secondary school I then took on Animal Management full time for a year at Bishop Burton, however after 3 years of doing this course I had lost all passion towards the subject and decided that I wanted to move to a more technological course. Wilberforce college was my next source of education in which I enrolled onto Sociology, Film studies, Media studies and I.t. Due to Media being my most passionate course and having the best grades in this area I decided to continue my studies, which led me to Hull University.
Gaming
My greatest hobby is gaming, for many years I simply found enough enjoyed playing games, however in recent years I've become much more interested with the impact of gaming within society. For many years the media and parents have be concerned about the issues related to watching violence, however there is a lack of evidence into this topic. I personally see the problem as much more related to the engagement that is happening between audiences on these games and mods, games such as Fifa are rated as 3+ which basically means that nobody younger than this should be playing the game, what is not taken into account is the other people who are playing these games. Numerous times I have heard children targeted with abuse, people argue that children have safety settings on there consoles however I'd argue that children don't take advantage of this and that children should not have to, this opinion is one that has not been welcomed by many gamers. Criticising gamers I believe to be a risky move due to the audiences influence on the internet, a key example of this being Anita Sarkeesian who is a feminist who talks about gaming, the abuse given went to the extreme of a gaming being created in which you beat her face up. I am not using this section as a platform to spread my opinion, the purpose of this section is basically the reason why I hope to continue keeping bias off Wikipedia, Anita Sarkeesian has been bullied on numerous different media platforms and Wikipedia needs/ and should be the one place these cyber bullies can not touch. I don't always agree with her opinions however I do believe she should be able to view her opinions without abuse.
