The Role of a Lifetime on ABC and ABC iview S1E2 – Kate and Naz tackle Boundaries, Rebellion, Discipline and Online Gaming.
At a gaming venue, Naz meets psychologist Brad Marshall who explains how the gaming industry uses “persuasive design” to keep kids addicted.
Naz then meets Evolutionary Biologist Michael Kasumovic who talks about the positive aspects of gaming.
Gaming expert Gemma Driscoll webchats with Naz and offers suggestions to kids looking to build a career in the gaming industry.
Kate and Naz then take the gaming debate to the streets, asking people if they would encourage their child to pursue a career in gaming.
The results from the street and the ABC straw poll are surprising.
Naz meets psychophysiologist Daniel Hermans at a skatepark. Daniel explains that risk-taking in kids is normal and is essential for developing skills for adulthood.
However, not all risk-taking is good, as evidenced by the tragic number of teenage car accidents. The Australian government recognizes this, hence its laws for P-plate driving teenagers.
The social media phenomenon “Post and Boast” is then explored by eSafety Commissioner Julie Grant.
Finally, Kate meets up with psychologist Marie Yap. With the background of Barker College cadets, Marie explains why discipline is important.
