Hello im name is Joseph, and I well be trying to convess you that video games are really not the main problem for violence or at least show that people should not just blame games when there is something much more worse. I well be giving different news articles from the new york times. But there is a problem that seems to be over looked, we say its the games fault that this kid played a game that was supposed to be for people 17 and older. But seem they manged to get their hands on it, mostly going to parents that don’t pay attention to this and parents wanting to use the system as a all day babysitter.

In 2010, a scientist by the name of Ferguson conducted a study that showed violent media and video game influences on youth. A sway in the study showed that crime rates remained the same, even while the youth of the study played violent games. Some people may tell you that teens who play violent games are more likely to be aggressive or confrontational.
