Minecraft, one of the most played games by kids and adults at the same.

Well maybe you are wondering why "Human", well here is an explination.


We are Humans (unless you are an alien or something like that) as Humans you have seen how creatives we can be like building places or painting something in real life, that is reflected in Minecraft.

But at the same time it shows how evil we can be against our home, our environment, like destroying trees for our benefit, killing animals because i like to have a pretty pink leather armor (kawaiiiiiiii, well maybe not) or slaving Villagers cause i like more emeralds (well they are very swindlers, 5 DIAMONDS FOR ONE EMERALD SERIOUSLY??, sorry xD) well if you see in the real world you will find that is pretty much the same, how in the farms, where they have 49383 chickens all together where anyone can at least jump, or in the forest were a lot of people cut trees only because they want to have more money.

 Well, im not including everyone because i know that not every human is like that.

What Minecraft lets us know is like a moral,  where we come to unexplored lands, we dare to kill its people and then we call monsters to the creepers.

Arent we the real monsters?



 Well, i never wrote like this, hope you like it ;D if you like it or found intresting a diamond will be apreciated or if you dont like it or if you want to do a suggestion or you want to say hi let me know at the coments below :D

You get your point across very well, I would have to say. Next time, I would try to make sure that you pay more attention to your grammar, though, so people can understand you a little easier. 

Example: "I'm" instead of "im".

All in all, though, a very good subject for an article. :)

I would like this if it didn't have so many mistakes and was easier to understand. Great way of talking about human nature but poor execution.

We're the monsters? ok lol, thats why without cutting trees, there would be almost NO cities, houses, weapons for defense, ect. And Killing animals does not make us monsters, it makes us survivors. Killing the anhabitants of a new land is also apart of human nature. Think about Native America, they were savages, and with out the European Conquest, they wouldnt have gotten anywhere as a people. Conquering, Foresting, Farming and the general War Machine of all Human Kind has been the planets driving force. Plus Mc is just game where it represents a fantasy version of a hostile wild world. I have a feeling who ever wrote this is a liberal pot smoking hippy who thinks trees are sacred and animals should be treated equal. But thanks for the interesting read all the less.

You can't logically say any video game represents real life, especially when the video game is simply a sand box. You mainly relate all of your points to money, and explaining that why users do things is due to money. I agree that the real world can have people doing a lot of things for wealth but in the game the concept of money isn't really the main motive or drive for everyone playing.

He's trying to say that our actions in game are a very good reflection of human nature. In real life we are very used to social rules and laws that stop us from killing or destroying, and that because minecraft has no real rules in that sense, people are free to do whatever they choose, for as long as they choose. He's making a point that people tend to choose 1 of 3 policies in game: creative building, survival or destruction. Users can be incredibly creative and spend their time building awesome stuff; those are the creative users. Users can spend all their time gather resources and surviving; these users are mildly destructive, but in a "the ends justify the means" sort of way. Lastly you have the users that spend their time lighting tnt and burning forests; users like this are very destructive, they may see minecraft as a way to escape the rigid laws of life and spend some time watching things get #rekt. I agree that he doesn't make his points very well because he relates them to money often, but he could easily improve that with a little more detailed writing. How about some constructive criticism? Maybe include some suggestions for improvement if you really know what's wrong with this post... if not then just let it be :)
