Monopoly board game
Is there anyone who doesn't know or hear "Monopoly" this word before? The first thing we'll think is the Monopoly board game instead of conquering. Monopoly are not just about game, it also teaches us to think wisely. I'm going to talk about how the 20th century monopoly game created and how it applied and react in our reality life. The fact, monopoly was the world's best selling board game beginning in the year 1936. Before monopoly game been created, there's a game named "The Landlord's Game" created by Lizzie J.Magie in the year 1904, it's very similar to the monopoly game that we are playing now. The only differents are the pictures and the name of the place been replaced. In the year 1934, Charles B.Darrow who have the inspiration by playing "The Landlord's game" and create his own version and name it as monopoly. he show the monopoly game to the Park Brother and they reject him due to "52 design errors". The burning passion inside his heart doesn't pull him down, he never give up and keep trying to reproduce the game. Few times rejected by the Park Brothers he still keep on trying and finally it came out the handmade monopoly which is the 1st edition, with his friend help, he manage sold 5,00 handmade sets of the monopoly. As it goes on, he couldn't keep up with the orders and he came back to Park Brother for help, Park Brother bought the copyright from him instead. Giving up might be the biggest mistake by him but he didn't and eventually he success, and became rich.

In the Monopoly game there might be player who's going to bankcrupt and he'll offer whatever he could to avoid being bankcrupt. The biggest tips for winning monopoly is showing no mercy towards the player. For example, helping out other player, it sounds like doing them a favor and they might repay you somehow, but who knows? they might just take advantages and make u lose or bankrupt when they are rich. The reason are because you all are playing the same game, and there's only one winner. On the other hand, this game also teach us not to follow people blindly and think wisely. Many people would think in the monopoly game, whenever you are in a place which doesn't have people bough it and you should bought it, as an asset that can collect rent whenever people reach your spot. As in real life, people always love buying properties whenever they have money. What happend if suddenly you owe bank a lots of money, inflation and lot's of unforseen things happened? you have to sell of your properties as soon as possible, which you might got to lower the properties price and sell off to avoid bankcrupt. In conclusion, what you have earn from collecting rent might double worst then having cash in hand. Third stratergy, seek or wait for opportunies, always remember the "buy low, sell high" method. Buying the player property in low price when they need cash urgent, sell the properties when the player need the property very much, you can even double or triple pay then the actual pricing, or even trade property that you need with the player who need your property. In the reality world, people buy property and wish to "return of investment" in the property and gain profit later on? Property doesn't just came with the word "asset" but also libialities. How come? There's a life time for every property, and they do depreciate. For some people, they buy property and wait for the properties price to go up and to sell, do anyone can ensure that the property might raise higher then the interest gain in the bank?


In my opinion, this argument is an inductive generalization, what ever we learn from monopoly, it might not be the same as reality life. this argument which contain many inductive premises. The conclusion does not follow with strict necessity from the premises.

Fallacy of Appeal to Ignorance - Is there anyone who doesn't know or hear "Monopoly" this word before? Lack of evidence to support the conclusion.

Attacking the Motive - helping out other player doesn't mean they'll repay you back. The author compare the game and the reality life.

Bandwagon - Many people would think in the monopoly game, whenever you are in a place which doesn't have people bough it and you should bought it, as an asset that can collect rent whenever people reach your spot.

Appeal to pity - In the Monopoly game there might be player who's going to bankcrupt and he'll offer whatever he to avoid being bankcrupt.

Fallacy of False causes - In conclusion, what you have earn from collecting rent might double worst then having cash in hand.
