“What videogames have taught me is that if you are fighting enemies on your journey you’re heading the right way”(Bill Murray). Games challenge humans and inspire them to be better. By doing this games make humans stronger, smarter and healthier. Games give humans something to aspire to and make them do things they would not have thought possible. Therefore games are beneficial to society in areas such as medicine, therapy,and learning. Games are beneficial in medicine by distracting the mind, thus producing an effect like a pain killer. This effect is useful, because in many patients pain killers are not enough to significantly dampen the pain perceived by the individual. This is remedied by distracting the centers of the brain normally used to detect pain and other negative sensations. In one test there was a boy that had a problem with picking his diseased lip, which caused doctors to be unable to repair the damaged area. To repair this situation, he was given a video game to distract him. After a period of two weeks the boy’s injuries had healed. Other test were conducted on people like, burn and wheelchair patients. Researchers also found that games were helpful when used in conjunction with painkillers. Often times, playing enhanced the effects of already potent drugs without many of the negative side effects. In another test, a group of chemotherapy patients were given gaming tools to help them recover. It was found that these patients needed significantly less pain…
