Does Violence in Video Games Affect Children’s
Future?
Yes,
I believe that violence in video games affects children’s future. Many children
are absorbing the ways of killing that come from video games. Video games have
caused higher crime rates than before.
Many studies have
taken place surrounding this idea, giving valid points to both sides of the
topic.Video games are extremely popular all over the world, connecting people
through the Internet allowing them to interact with one another through a
cyber-portal for entertainment. Video games are evolving every year, as
technology gets better so do the games, with more realistic graphics, sound
effects and scenarios. So with this, the violent games are also becoming
far more realistic, violent and aggressive. This means that children are
absorbing the ways of killing in video games.
Video games cause addiction
and lower grades on schoolwork for children. It also causes aggressive and
violent behavior for children. The reason that some video games require players
to be 16 years old and up is because children are not able to control
themselves in organizing their own time and preventing addiction. Some juvenile
crimes are caused by their aggressive and violent behavior from video games.
In conclusion, I believe
that video games cause aggressive behavior in children. It also affects the
children’s grades in school and also causes addiction. If any parents allow
their children to play violent games, it is down to the individual who plays these games to act responsibly,
know right from wrong, and play the games for entertainment only.
