Do violent video games cause behaviour problems?
I think yes violent video games cause behavior problems, I think this because are the murders of innocent committed because some kids play games? Teenagers should not be permitted to buy violent video games due to the fact that it corrupts their minds and causes them to act out in negative ways. Many depressing incidents have happened in the past, and to stop them from happening in the future, we must take action.
Teenagers spend their free time playing violent video games. Research shows that boys play 13 hours of them a week and girls tend to play 5. Even if we may not realize it, it is detrimental to their minds and society. Since they were little, kids have been exposed to aggressive behavior in the games that they play. When this sadistic image of life is placed in their minds over and over again, it desensitizes them.
When these kids become teenagers, they are not sensitive to the world around them. Their minds are corrupted by the rubbish that they used to occupy themselves in when they were younger. In the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, about two dozen innocent children were mercilessly murdered by a young man in his twenties. Why? Because the shooter’s mind had been corrupted so much that his psychology had been negatively affected.
We should put an end to this damaging behavior. By letting our children play violent video games, we are destroying their minds. We should protect them, and protect our society. By banning the sale of aggressive games, we are helping our world.
Wow Shaniqua, this is some really powerful stuff. Your message very strongly shows the significance of violent games for young children. It is alarming the number of students who have access to these type of games, I wonder if you did any research in your own backyard, i.e. how old were the boys/girls in your class when they first watched/played/saw a violent video game and how did they get access to it? That would be very interesting to know. Clearly this is a social issue - what do you think we can do to change it?
