Abstract
Video games are part of a powerful cultural industry that influences many people; therefore, educators and society cannot ignore that video games are here to stay. Professors should educate future developers to create games that entertain their audience and are socially responsible. This paper describes some assignments that can be used to teach social responsibility in game development.
