For this week’s discussion board, please answer questions below. Be detailed in your response and elaborate when necessary. You must post your own response before you can see a response. After you have posted your response, reply to two of your classmates.

We live in a society divided by significant income inequality. As we discussed in class, these differences in income shape how we act and interact.

For this discussion board, you are required to play the online game “Spent”: http://www.playspent.org/ (http://www.playspent.org/)

After you are done playing the game, describe your experience playing the game.

For instance, how accurate or inaccurate would you say the game is at representing the experiences of the working-poor? Was there anything in the game that surprised you? Have you experienced any real life situations that were depicted in the game? Was there anything in the game that you thought was misleading or you disagreed with?

Or, maybe you found the game to be unrealistic. Why do you think the game was designed that way or why do you think the game did not include certain options? What would you have added or changed to the game?
