"How are the different types of people treated differently? Why?

My question that I was curious about was, "How are the different types of people treated differently? Why?". I was curious about this because it appeared to me that some races in the game were treated better/worse than other ones. I went out and talked to some people I had found on my adventures to find the answers. One observation I found was that people were always worried whenever they say a Khajit. This is because apparently (after talking to a Khajit) Khajits are associated with being sneaky and being thieves. I found this interesting because I remembered when I was choosing a race that Khajit's had sneak and lock picking as their specialty. It was also interesting because as I went around adventuring I came across a thief that tried to rob me and take my stuff and it just so happened that it was a Khajit. This reminded me of real life because of all the stereotypes that are present. I found it interesting that the creators added this element to the game because this type of issue is just as apparent in real life. People tend to judge another person's intentions or actions based on what race they are in real life and I though it was very creative for this element to be included in the game. Another element I really thought was pretty creative to put in were the poor people living among the world of Skyrim. Not only did the creators include stereotypes among different races but they also did it among the same races. I found poor Nords along with poor Khajits and I'm sure I would've found more poor people among the different races if I continues to play.

     The role of language appears to not only be about different location backgrounds but also importance. For example, being dragon born and having the voice brings about a lot of respect from people in the world of Skyrim. The grey beards are clearly very highly respected because of the fact that they live on top of a mountain and nobody bothers them. Relating back to the real world I would say that there isn't really a language that people have ever respected that much and language seems to be purely about communication in the real world while in Skyrim it appears to have to do with respect.
     The different sources of information about the "voice" are books and people. At least that is what I have come across. Whenever talking to people  about the voice, people tend to have a very respecting attitude towards it and believe that it is associated with special individuals. Books give a more historical background on the voice and the ones I found told about the ancient stories of the origins of the voice and information about the Greybeards. Together the books and descriptions of the voice by people really helped me paint a picture of how this society is based off the voice because it was a huge part of the past and as dragons are reappearing it has become more part of the present as well.

            In this game the characters use many different appeals in order to try and convince me that their way of thinking is right. After talking to many members of the different groups I found that they had different explanations of what was going on. Both groups tried to argue that they were the innocent ones and that the opposite group was at fault. In one of the songs it appeared that the lyrics suggested that the people were being mistreated and that the leaders were selfish people who mistreated the citizens and people of Skyrim. The other song suggested that violence was rising and people were almost becoming barbaric. This could be seen as a way of saying that the people aren't listening to the leaders which is causing anarchy among the society. It is interesting because it is almost similar to how in America people are republican and some are democrat based of where they live. I believe that if you took the same person and had them live in a place with the opposite way of thinking that they would grow up believing that way was true. It has become clear to me that a lot of people's personalities and beliefs are brought up from where they grow up.

Dragon Rising

Within the realm of Skyrim there are many different ways that a player can interact with the world around them. Some of these ways so far have included dialogue with other characters that you meet, picking up books and reading them, and fighting other characters/species. These are just some of the many ways that a player can interact with the world of Skyrim. Fighting is one of the newer types of interaction that I have encountered at this point of the game. The Golden Claw quest involved a lot of fighting as well as this quest where I had to fight the dragon. Before this quest no real intense fighting had occurred however with this quest I had to really figure out how to plan my attacks so I wouldn't die and have to start the quest over again. Since it has been a couple of weeks, walking around and figuring out where I need to go has become easier and I've noticed I now found it easy to navigate around the major towns that I have been in since the beginning of the game: Riverwood and Whiterun.
