When an illness or injury appear out of nowhere, you would usually go to an emergency room, but no one is being helped fast enough at an emergency room, so instead, people have turned to one of the fastest-growing segments of American health care: urgent care, a walk-in clinic. Although urgent care is not exactly like an emergency room, it is a clinic that handles many medical problems that are not too severe but need to be treated right away, especially if your primary care physician is not available. It is important that you realize that urgent care clinics are not a substitute for your primary care physician, but they are a great resource when you need care but can not get in with your doctor. Visiting an urgent care center is a great alternative…
Parents must be aware of the video games’ rating and keep all dangerous games away from children. Outcomes from experiments have made a significant predictive relationship between violent video games and aggression, but nothing has proved to support a long-term relationship between violent video games and aggression. A video game debate must be made, and it should be positive. A debate on violent video games could be made, but unfortunately video games have become more widespread over past decades.

While playing the game, kids have the time of their life enjoying all the graphic content the game provides. Although violent videogames do expose adolescents to graphic content, that does not mean the viewer will become violent themselves. Videogames should not be the scapegoat for when teen violence occurs. The problem that people are facing is that they are making quick assumptions that since teens are exposed to videogames then they are going to be shooters. In the article, “Violent Video Games Do Not Cause Aggression”, David Kushner explains, “If no one has said there’s a causal link between games and real-life violence, why does it keep making headlines, and why do these get cited so much?”…
For many people in America, simulated violent games are addictive and fun to play. But, those simulated violent games have proven to make an affect on our world, and this is not without reason. Due to the articles that I have read, the research has shown that people who play simulated violent games, are more prone to show violent behavior in their everyday lives. Simulated violent games contribute to bad behavior in people, they allow us to think that violence is okay, they take away from productive time, and creates misinterpretation.…
Violent Video Games: Havoc on Society? The body count totaled 12 dead and more than 50 other men and women with serious injuries. A loner named James Holmes shot up a Century Movie Theater in Aurora, Colorado leaving behind a bloodbath most could never imagine. Admittedly, Holmes was a fan of first-shooter video games (McGrath, 2014, p.121). Granted he had other personal baggage, but his lust for killing was nurtured in such games as role-playing action video games including Oblivion and StarCraft.…
Video Games Do Not Cause Violent Behavior Over the years there have been several incidents that have stirred up the emotions of people, parents and especially investigators. These incidents include the Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting, the Columbine Massacre, and the incident in Colorado where a man went on a shooting spree in an Aurora movie theater. There was one key thing that aroused people’s emotions connected by investigators to all three incidents: video games. This led to the belief that if the parents’ children play violent video games that the child will become violent. Even though people have been led to believe that video games cause people to become cruel and commit violent actions, video games do not cause people to commit acts of violence because they don 't have time to…

The games may cast a positive impression as they are an endeavor to keep you safe from evil or something bad. It is the righteous guidance given by the games. The correlation founded by other researchers showing the linkage between video games and real violence ignores many important aspects of the study. Further, the video games taught us the understanding of pain.…
