Video games

 Video games do not cause violence in people as it is on how a person thinks. If they want to kill a person they could do it if they want to but most people don’t that is why most people are less violent than others. 


Did you know that 65% of Americans play video games? Recent reports of people believe that violent video games are one of the reasons why their kids get involved in violent activities. I believe video games do not contribute to violence. 
             Video Games do not influence people to commit violent actions; instead it is shown to not have no influence in people’s behavior based on research done by a university in Florida. People who played show some change in emotions but it did not directly influence behavior. There are no actual facts or research that truly show that video games cause violent behaviors in people.
            People may argue that many of the shootings that occurred because they were exposed to violent video games. One example is an 8 year old boy shot his care giver in the head after playing a shooter video game. This proves that video games can cause violence.
            This is true that the boy shot his care giver after playing video games, but he said he accidentally shot her after playing with the gun. He did not say what he was doing with the gun, so video games had no effect on why he shot her. Instead, the parents of the kid should have taught him proper gun safety and kept the gun somewhere hidden or locked so he could not have reached it.

In a recent study, people who play video games demonstrated increased hand eye coordination compared to those people who don’t play video games. No research has shown an increase of violence after playing video games.  I believe it is how a person thinks and if they are born to be more violent than others. Many scientists believe that people can be identified as serial killers based on C.A.T scan and were most of the brain activity is occurring. So there is no real reason why video games have contributed to violence.
