what works?

While taking a second look at Second Life i notice a few thing i didnt before. The virtual world of Second Life seems very much as a video game though it states its not. However, it reminds me of a game when you beat it and theres nothing left to do but travel around. even though, there is over 6 million residents in Second life which still makes it a pretty big place, the size of a "city". Second Life is defently a place where to be creative and interact with other people but is it a good place to protest? I decided to take another look at camp Dafur, I thought this political activism was the most effective. The whole place is a duplicate of a refugee camp which hepos to stand out the cause more. I liked this activist site because as the narrirtor stated its a window to a subject few people know about like myself. Seeing all these pictures of what is going on in these camps and how people are suffering really makes you thik twice and want to take a further deepth into the issue. However personaly i would go to a wesite to find more about this issue in Darfur. Though Second life openned me up to it through camp Darfur, it seems like to much work to try to find more about the cause. I would have to open up an account, create an advitar, and then learn how to use it. At this point i could have been at several websites and learned more about the crises in Dafur. I do like the concept though it allows people to help in there own cretive way. I think it can help because many people are connceted to the virtual world some live in it so much they dont get a chance interact with the outside world, like to turn on the tv and watch the news. So a program like this would help to expose people to political activism. Now the question is would it help towards making a difference? It would all depend on people getting together and wanting to take the fight from the virtual world to the real world. Im sure with the big community that second Life has it does. Now im not big on activism so i cant say of one that is effective or be able to compare the effectiveness between one in the virtual world or in the real world. I can account for a protest i have notice and that is at Hunter college dealing with the school taking away the day care program. now I can't say how the protest is going but I do know while signing a form for the cause i did see lots and lots of signature, which shows that their point is reaching across to plently of people.
