Having grown out of the pioneering era and way of thought of the early twentieth century, Kibbutzideology was established and developed during the pre-state and early years of Israels statehood.

There are Kibbutzim where the members receive differential salaries and pay for services, but in all theKibbutzim which have chosen the differentiation z operates under the premise that all income generatedby the Kibbutz and its members goes into a common pool. This income is used to run the Kibbutz, make

investments, and guarantee mutual and reciprocal aid and responsibility between members. Kibbutzmembers receive the same budget (according to family size), regardless of their job or position. In termsof education, all children start equally and are given equal opportunity. The Kibbutz is governed by asystem of direct participatory democracy, where the individual can directly ntially diminished.

Negative Effects

Although there are some positive effects that are possible form video/computer game use there are

mostly negative effects. Several professors conducted a research project to determine the effect ofgaming on academic performance. According to the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology:

Gaming Frequency and Academic Performance individuals who spend two or more hours playing

games on a daily basis score lower in every subject than their non-gaming counterparts. By spending

a high percentage of time on video games there is not enough time left to spend in studying forclasses. The study found that there was not a single significant positive correlation between gamingand academic performance.

Statistics

According to a list of statistics produced by Media Family: Effects of Video Game Playing onChildren

The number of members on a Kibbutz can range from100 to 1000. In older Kibbutzim members often includethree and even four generations, comprising the

founders and their succgamers, which means thatthey played for two or more hours on a daily basis.The high number of kids shows the importance of

learning to choose games that will help strengthenand push the intellect of the child playing.

More then 90 years ago the first Kibbutz (from the Hebrew word kvutza, meaning group), wasestablished. It was a revolutionary idea of a voluntary society in which people live in accordance with aspecific social contract, based on egalitarian and communal principles essors, as well as members whohave joined the Kibbutz over the years, including a significant number of new immigrants. Today there areapproximately 250 Kibbutzim in the country, where about 125 000 people live. The majority of Kibbutzimare secular, but there are about twenty religious Kibbutzim, as well as Kibbutzim connected to both theConservative and Reform streams..

The different characters of Kibbutzim are dictated by their historical origins, the ages of members and thegeneral social and financial success and security of the Kibbutz. They are located throughout the countryand vary in size, location, climate, agriculture, types of industry, population, ideological or religiouspersuasion and general character. In addition, issues of privatization and the extent of the continuation ofcommunal life are factors influencing the style and development of most Kibbutzim today. Some havemore or less solved the issue while others are still engaged in heated discussions as to their characterand the character of Kibbutz life as it has been known for most of the last century. It is clear that muchwill be preserved, but at the same time generations have been raised and lessons learnt that will shedlight on the continued future of the Kibbutz lifestyle.

Part of the ideology of Kibbutzim has always been the good of the collective and a strong involvementand ideological belief in the social issues and agenda of the country. An extension of these beliefs has ledto an ongoing involvement with new immigrants over the years, from developing programs and assistingin providing accommodation to opening their communities and homes. The Kibbutzim have beeninvolved historically with Aliyah and continue to be interested in this important aspect of building thecountry.

Alienationis a concept that refers to both a psychological condition found in individuals and to a

social condition that underlies and promotes it.Karl Marxargued that alienation results from the

private ownership of capital and the employment of workers for wages, and arrangement that gives

workers little control over what they do. In alienated systems, people no longer work because they

experience satisfaction or a sense of connection to the life process, but instead work to earn money,

which they need in order to meet their needs. Alienated work becomes a routine, mechanical activity

directed by others and serving merely as a means to an end.

ALIENATION(Marx) : the process whereby the worker is made to feel foreign to the products of his/her

own labor. The creation ofcommoditiesneed not lead to alienation and can, indeed, be highly

satisfying: one pours one's subjectivity into an object and one can even gain enjoyment from the fact

that another in turn gains enjoyment from our craft. In capitalism, the worker is exploited insofar as he

does not work to create a product that he then sells to a real person; instead, the proletariat works in

order to live, in order to obtain the very means of life, which he can only achieve by selling his labor to a

capitalist for a wage (as if his labor were itself a property that can be bought and sold). The worker is

alienated from his/her product precisely because s/he no longer owns that product, which now belongs

to the capitalist who has purchased the proletariats laborin exchange for exclusive ownership over the

proletariat's products and all profit accrued by the sale of those products.

Positive Effects

Many people focus on the negative effects of these games and fail to see the opportunity for learning

and growth. According to Raise Smart Kids: The Good and Bad Effects of Video Games there are

several positive effects that come from spending time playing video games. Most games do not teach

kids math, history and other subjects, however, they do provide students indirect opportunities tolearn principles that can help them in their academic pursuits. Certain types of video games can help

train kids to follow instructions as well as helping them develop their problem solving and logical

thought processes. These skills translate directly to the classroom as students are asked by teachers tocomplete tasks and are presented problems that require them to use logical problem solving skills.Kids can also learn inductive reasoning and hypothesis testing. Games will often present them with a

situation that needs to be solved and this causes the kids to have to develop problem-solvingtechniques. Before purchasing a video game a parent should talk with a representative at the store to

see what the overall premise of the game is to see if it includes elements that will help build theseaforementioned qualities.
