Abstract: Our group uses Latent Content analysis to examine how modern video games, within the genre of first-person shooters, reinforce specific attitudes towards ethnicity, gender, and class. Through the application of latent content analysis, we examine the single-player campaign of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. We will tie in our findings to how this particular game relates to similar modern video games and the normative values they reinforce. We will also create a poster board which presents our research findings.
