Why Do Violent Video Games Cause Violence?

One issue facing our society today is the debate over whether or not engaging in playing violent video games causes players to engage in real world acts of violence. The answer is resoundingly YES! Common sense tell us that if violence is seen as entertainment, then those being entertained by engaging in pretend violence will be more likely to engage in actual violence against real people in real life. It is ridiculous to think that when players, especially young impressionable players, will not be affected by playing games that allow them to shoot, stab, pillage, and rape. This is not to say that playing a violent game will necessarily make one act violently, but it is not sensible to think that these games are innocent fun and have no impact on the player.
For one, studies show that young boys and girls who have been in at least one or more fights repeatedly played video games that were rated Mature or Violent. Secondly, it is agreed by doctors and parents in general that if a child already has aggressive behaviors at home or at school, then playing violent video games makes this behavior even worse or at least increase. One of the main arguments against violent video games is that it makes the players numb and unfeeling to real life violence as well as much more likely to commit real life violence and feel little to no remorse about doing it. Also, it can cause some to be unable to differentiate between the scenarios acted out in video games and acts carried out in real life. Take into account the fact that a large percent of the suspects who committed mass murders and shooting have been fans and avid players of violent video games. Coincidence? Not
