3.2 Students Formulate Solutions To Economic Problems-
The game "My Country" applies to this standard in many ways. The first way that it applies to this is when i tried to buy a factory that had a certain amount of ecopower that i used to have. So therefore i had to purchase more trees and shrubs. Another way that this game applies to that standard is that I decided to build about 6 buildings without thinking about it and right now i need a certain person to hire so that building can go into business. Therefore my buildings are just sitting around not doing anything right now. But one way that i noticed that DOES NOT apply to this game is that their is a neighboring country made by Mary and each day you can go into her country and "help" her get some money and XP points.
3.1 Students Explain How Different Economic Systems Are Organized For Production, Distribution, and Consumption of Goods And Services-
My country applies to this standard by many ways. First off say you buy a shoe factory or any kind of factory. First off you have to build the factory first which will most likely take a while since it is a big building. Then it says you have to hire certain people like a mechanic or a driver. And then once you do that it will take the products out and sell them and you will make money. A good example of this on the game is a bus station. First off you have to build the station first. Then after that you have to hire some bus drivers and also buy some buses. Therefore the bus station will start up and people will start getting on it and spending money to use the local bus.
3.4 Students Demonstrate An Understanding of Economic Prinicples That Influence Individual Financial Planning-
My country applies to this standard because say i wanted to build a business or a company then i better have the money to make it. Or say someday i become a president (which is very unlikely.) Then i know to sometimes lower what happens in the city and then just sit there and make more money. Also if i was starting a business i would know to make sure i can get the employees before i start building the building. Because i was not getting the house keys at all and i need those in order to hire the Rental Agent. I have about 7 buildings that need him so that they can be built. So right now those buildings were kind of a waste of space and even a waste of money.
4.3 Students Evaluate the Impact Of Technology and How It Has Shaped History and Influenced the Modern World-
The technology use in the game My Country has shaped the world because of the technology of windmills. They create energy which can help build buildings and use tools. More technology that they have in this game is the Solar Panels which will absorb the sun and then create energy. For example you have to have a certain amount of energy to build some buildings.
4.2 Students Analyze Current Events To Better Understand The World In Which They Live-
This applies to this game because obviously U.S.A. is in a recession right now. So they can't just afford to buy electricity or anything like that. So they usually set up windmills and then therefore they can derive the power from the windmills around them or close to them. Also it shows that the businesses that put out more money they will make more buildings and take up more space. So somewhat it is like Darwins Theory which is the strongest survive.
4.4 Students Explain How Past Events Impact Present and The Future-
This applies to this game because say you spend alot of money on one building then your gonna have a slow recovery rate and you will have to wait a while to make your money back. Another way that it applies to this is say you buy a company way back then and you do not have the proper person then that building will sit around and waste space and then you have to buy more land to build more buildings.
5.1 Students Interpret Charts, Maps, and Graphs to Answer Questions Dealing With People, Places, Events or Environments-
This applies to this game because in order to get higher eras it brings up a chart where it tells you how much people you have to have in that city so that you can level up. Another way is that it will tell you about how much energy you need so therefore you will have to build more windmilss or solar panels. Also another way it applies to this game is you have to look at the people you need and then it gives items that they have to have in order to be able to work so therefore you got to look for which building you should build or which ones you should upgrade.
5.3 Students Demonstrate an Ability to Organize and Process Information About People, Places, and Environments-
This applies to this game in a major way. For example you need to organize all of your buildings so that you can fit them into the space that you have because eventually in this game your going to have to buy more land so you can expand your country. Also you need to be able to know how your environment is doing such as energy and economy because sometimes you have to have a certain economic number yo be able to build a building or anything.
