Week 8 Violence in Video Games

Violence in video games

Video games today are more aggressive and violence then the simple ways of gaming in the 1980. And studies imply that children are being more aggressive and violent because of this.

Researchers shows that the regular use of playing violet video games, over 3,034 children who the study’s was conducted on over a course of 3 years had a higher rate of aggressive behaviors and thoughts. The research was published in the JAMA Pediatrics, a journal of the American medical association by researchers in Iowa state university and the national institute of education in Singapore.

The children who contributed where around 11 years of age and three quarters of them where boys. Many of the answers found by the boys and girls were alike and Researchers stated that their findings do sustain previous research that gives a link between video games and aggressive behavior.

Now you may think that video games are to blame of the violence that young children and adults show but take in mind that the research that was being

done over the 3 years had NO involvement from the children’s parent.

And now this leads me to believe that the mother and father have a big roll to play in this study. Now if booth of the parent acted in the children behalf knowing what is right for them violence in video games wont be a big problem for young children and adults. Because every time when a game get released and the child get the game and starts playing it and then the parents see what happens in the video game and complain and then want the game to be banned because simply the game is to violent for children to play and believe that the game developers are to blame for it.

Firstly that is not true. I believe the problem lies with the parent when they first buy the game for their child without ever reading that is the game about and content in the game as well. But they buy it any way simply because there 10 year old wants it. Now the parent has to think for their child because if you ask any 10 year old boy or girl they just want to eat candy and dink lemonade on a dally basics. And as we all know as fully-grown adults that are not a healthy way to live your life.

a large number of children and young adults still play violent video games. and still grows in numbers every day. To advance our understanding of the effects of violent video games and how to properly sensor it form young children and further explore the negative effects it has on the modern society.
