    Violent crimes and aggression can be motivated by violent video games. Columbine school shooters(Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) and theater shooter(James Holmes) all played these games. They would play these games for long hours daily. Studies show violence is motivated by the games that kids are playing. They act out these violent and illegal actions on their games and then do them in real life. Most of the teens in todays generation can honestly say they have played a violent video game at least one time in their lives. Therefore, they have had to act out a violent action. There are many ways this can affect a child's behavior in a negative way.…

    According to studies done about the relationship of violent of video games and violent crime, this form of popular media has reduced the amount of violent crime. As stated in the journal written by Benjamin Engelslatter, “... video game play is generally associated with reductions in the violent nature of the crimes commited.” (Engelslatter). Also, based on information from the FBI, the rate of youth concerned with atrocities is continually going down (Winegarner).…

    According to the article “Shooting in the Dark” author, Benedict Carey, states that studies today on violent video games show no concrete evidence on actually long term negative effects on gamers. Mr. Carey is not a researcher or scientist but is a veteran writer of neuroscience, neurology, and psychology. Throughout this article he gives factual evidence and quotes from scholarly sources such as doctors and researchers in the fields of behavior and psychology. The author gives ample explanation on evidence used from his sources to give the optimal understanding to the reader of the results and/or findings given by the sources. The article connects to the modern age of gamers with examples from big name video games popular with today’s video gamers. Although Mr. Carey does give evidence that violent video games have been found to give short term negative effects he does reassure the reader through quotes and statements from his sources that no studies show consistent long term effects. The claim of the author about the research on the effects of violent video games is strongly supported and backed through his use of rhetorical appeals and scholarly evidence.…

    Violent videogames have always had a giant target painted on their back. They are always on the chopping block when a violent crime is committed in the real world. There are many videogames that put you in the role of a mass murderer or a gun wielding exterminator, but are videogames really the ones to blame for these violent acts? In the essay “Gore for Sale” written by Evan Gahr violent videogames are being stigmatized because of their violent gameplay. These violent videogames are not responsible for any real crimes and do not have a significant impact on the player, they are just that, games.…

    The impact of violent video games in the minds of young kids is becoming an issue. Although it is not being stated that kids playing violent video games is the leading cause of violence and aggression in society. Nowadays, it is part of a daily routine for a majority of kids to sit in front of the TV to play video games for many hours. Parents may not be aware of what kind of video games their kids play or which ones they buy them. Behavioral, social, emotional, and many other issues may be developed. While kids play video games, they may not see the reality of what they learn or see in the game. Many of today’s generations are growing up in front of the TV instead of getting fresh air outside, or…

    Does playing violent video games lead to violent behaviour? There are many arguments both agreeing and disagreeing with this statement, in my own opinion, I believe that playing such games does have a negative impact on player based on the research I have done for this essay. Video games are becoming more easily accessible to both children and adolescents. Nearly every major leading supermarkets sell the top rated video games of all genres, including violence. Although the recommended age ratings on these games may prevent adults from purchasing these games, it does not stop both children and adolescents from playing them online or at their friend’s houses. Due to the fact that these games can be so easily obtained, it is obviously a growing concern for parents, governments and psychologist if these games are having any effect on their children. In this essay I would like to discuss the following: how to tell if a video game is violent, what is considered a violent video game, the different forms and theories of aggression, some real life examples of the negative effects video games have on the player and finally some links between violent video games and behaviour, all focused on children and adolescents being the players.…
