1. Alternate Reality Game Aims at Fighting Real Terrorists
With the sudden outbreak of senseless killing of Americans by Americans there is a web
game that has been investigating the underlying causes of the violence. For instance, what
are the causes of the disconnect between people and their communities. How come people
now feel that their dissatisfaction is reason to harm innocent people?
Seket Aanru the game does not try to get people to spy on their neighbors or anything like
that, it mainly encourages people to become more active citizens. To stand up for the values
that we all pledged allegiance when we were in school. The entire game revolves around an
NSA contractor who has to make decisions about what he feels is the right thing to do in
tough situations. Does he choose the easy route and possibly compromise his beliefs or
does he follow his heart and deal with the consequences.
More often then not he has to learn the hard way by making the wrong choices. It is not that
he knows better and chooses to do wrong, it is that he really doesn't know what his truth is
until he makes a decision, just like in real life. We all know that life is not black and white.
Sometimes things seem like the right thing to do but upon further examination we find that it
caused more harm than good.
The game encourages people to study the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It also
stresses that in order for our way of life to continue we must actively participate in our
Government by the people for the people.
Take some time to check it out for yourself. All you have to is search SEKET AANRU. Get in
the Game!
