11 APPLICATION TASK 2017 // Democracy Caroline Dick WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT In his essay Étienne de La Boétie sharply criticizes the ruler’s use of games and enjoyment as an instrument for achieving obedience within the population by referring to the historical example of Lydia. He explains that the establishment of entertainment leads to a lack of political participation and blindness. Concerning the relation between games and democracy it can be said that in history entertainment has often been used to especially distract lower classes of society from poltical questions and problems, as can be seen e.g. in the ancient Rome and their gladiator fights. Nowadays games have to be seen in a more differentiated way as there are various types. Some are dealing with serious issues and try to make the player aware of it.
