Video game controversy

And because of it, gaming has helped mold my educational life. In the past, I learned the basics of English literature, from the concepts of a story arc to character development. However, it was this video that got me to break out of my comfort zone and see the real world. I could see and hear the many different arguments over gaming, whether it is destructive or beneficial. I could feel the sensation of information surging toward me. I could see the…

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.

massacre, we will begin taking the social effects of the killing games more serious” (Leo). Leo does not blame this violence on the video games he blames it on the parents that allow their children to play these games. Leo believes “video games are much more powerful versions of the military 's primitive discovery” (Leo). Another main point brought up by Leo is the fact that when people play violent video games they get too focused on the game that they forget about what reality actually is.…

The controversial issue concerning whether or not video games have an effect on aggression and violent behavior has become more challenging with time. Initially, no identifiable negative behavior was found in individual who played video games. But after shootings and murders carried out by video game players emerged, research began (Anderson & Bushman, 2001). The concern over the influence of video games led to the creation of the Entertainment Software Rating Board in 1993, after lawmakers held…

One of the most mentioned issues regarding the debate around video games is that they heighten aggression. While some studies suggest an argument that violent video games cause increased violent behaviours, individuals, as well as some media outlets often, fail to see that this "heightened aggression" is often merely frustration at the game itself.

Video games with violent content have recently become popular among teenagers, children and the adolescent. This new trend has raised great concern from parents, teachers, and legislatures. Many have come to voice their opinion on the need for a limit to be placed on the amount of hours the young generation should spend on the games. In fact, some have even argued that there is a need to stop completely adolescents from accessing the violent scenes in video games. This study outlines the impact…

character of the popular video game is now dead. However, just because a character dies, a child will not go out and hurt someone else. There’s a line between fantasy and reality. Every gamer knows that line and are well aware of the effects a video game has on him/her. Therefore, it’s impossible to say violent video games are the direct cause of violence in youth. The United States should not ban violent videos when they are not the direct cause. The parents can see what the video game they…
