I strongly believe that video games promotes violence among children as many games are making children aggressive and train youth to be killers.
Making children Aggressive
>> 97% of 12–17 year olds in the US played video games.
>> Video games often reward players for simulating violence.
Train youth to be killers
- Desensitize players to real-life violence.
- Teach youth that violence is an acceptable conflict-solving strategy
- They become confuse about fantasy violence with real world violence
counterargument
- Reduce violence by providing a safe environment for aggressive and angry feelings.
- A short-term increase in aggression does not mean a child is going to leave house and commit a violent act.
- They are able to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
- Prevents them from emulating video game violence in real life.
Refutations
- Psychologists aren’t sure, but many are convinced there’s a link.
2. not able to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
3. Youth are not trusting others and taking violent self-protective.
Suggestions
- Children should not practice mature-rated games.
- US Supreme Court ruled for banning the sale of violent video games.
