Do video games contribute
to youth violence.
Video games are scapegoated
to avoid talking about real issues
I have the opinion that while gaming likely desensitizes vioelnce to gamers, it does not cause them to be more violent.
Video games cause aggression, anger
if it causes anything. Not violence.
When violent video game sales
increased, youth crime decreased.
Many people do not believe video games contribute to youth violence. On demographic being gamers themselves
The only country where increased
video games has meant more
violence in any case is in the USA
One study done with 1,000
participants found no correlation with
video games and child violence
Video games can desensitize
gamers to real life violence.
I do believe video game time should be limited for children, but regardless of whether or not a game is violent or not. As for actual violent games, I do not think any changes need to be made.
Violent video games can cause
decreased empathy and kindnessic
Republicans tend to blame gaming
for a lot of violent crime and shootings.
Cautious oarents may also believe video games coontribute to youth violence.
Video games that include violence
toward women can cause gamers to
develop ideas about harming women.
What I do believe affects youth violence the most is growing up around violence or with parents that do not show empathy toward their children. Parents like this are also more likely to not care about what their children play, which is why there is a false correlation between M rated games and violence.
