Children and Violent Video Games
I think one of the biggest popular culture figure is Video Games. More and more kids are playing video and computer games —
especially ultra-violent ones that are top sellers. Research shows that
children are also spending increasing amounts of time playing them: an
average of 13 hours per week for boys and five hours for girls. A recent
content analysis by the research organization Children Now shows that a
majority of video games include violence and about half of the violent
incidents would result in serious injuries or death in the "real" world. Kids today do nothing but play video games. Some very inappropriate for their age but still continue to play it. Like for an Example Grand Theft Auto, that is an awesome game to play, but the violence portrayed in it itself is excruciating. It portrays lots naked individuals and lots of violent actions. I love to play it but i wouldn't like my little 12 and under brother or sister to play it. And later on these children have wild ideas from these video games and do something inevitable. I think that kids shouldn't concentrate more on video games instead of their education. Because once you grow older playing video games isn't going to help you, your education will.

I think violent video game is big issue in today's society. I agree with you idea.
ReplyDeleteTears of the Sun is a good movie! It is very tragic about what happens over there, and its sad to say that the happens often, if not daily. On the other hand, I will say that video games have a major influence on children. And like you said, children always play video games. I will admit to have been apart of that group but I've grown out of it.
ReplyDeleteyes, i agree in your last sentence. its true that once children attached to games than they don't concentrate in their education.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your idea and think games are very addictive, but yet has a big impact on kids behaior and personality they interpret from the video games.
