Essay on Do Playing violent video games cause agressive behavior?
$$$$$Do playing violent video games cause aggressive behavior is a question where many people have a hard time to answer. In my opinion, it’s a no. Playing violent video games does not cause aggressive behavior. Not only in my opinion but in some other researchers' and scientists' opinion.It's not only stated on opinions but by actual test on teens and adults.
$$$$$In my opinion violent video games does not cause aggressive behavior. It is not only in my opinion but in some other 8th graders' opinion. I had a poll and asked them if violent video games aggressive video games cause aggressive behavior. About 11 out of 14 students said no and 3 out of 14 said yes. Video games are just animation. It have nothing to do with real life. We play video games for fun when we are bored. We should not take video games seriously and we don't. I beat Grand Theft Auto about three to four times. I never went on to the street and killed someone just as in GTA. I have about 6 games system and all the games I have for my video game systems are violent video games. I beat every single game about three times. I never had an aggressive behavior. I never went on to the streets and started shooting people or fighting people.
$$$$$Not only I think that violent video games does not cause aggressive behavior. Many scientists and researchers also think playing violent video games does not cause aggressive behavior. It is proven in many ways. One main way is by testing on teens and by studying their reaction after playing a violent video game for hours. It is not only tested on teens but on children under 13 and adults who play violent video games. Some researchers studied a teen after playing 52hrs of GTA in a week. They didn't see any difference. The teen was the same person as he was before playing the GTA. His behavior did not change at all. He was not arguing with his friends or talked in a rude violent manner. They studied the teen for about a month and no changes have been occurred. They also say that children should not play games that is not appreciate for their age. You can find out what is appropriate for their age is by looking at the rating system. For example, In rated Teen games only teens are allowed to play that game. Parents should not buy and inappropriate games for their children age and children should not play games that's not for their age.
$$$$$If you ever hear that a teen was arrested for having aggressive behavior on the street after playing a violent video game, it might not be true. This might be lie that the teen says so he could get away with what he have done. Sometimes in the news, they say and adult shot someone after playing GTA. An adult have the ability know whats wrong and whats right. It's not possible that an adult goes to the street and shoot someone after playing a video game. That adult might say that GTA was what made have this aggressive behavior because he can get away with it. He might blame on GTA so he won't be punished and the court might bring him to the doctor instead of the bringing him to the jail.
$$$$$Playing violent video games never cause aggressive behavior. Many researches have been done and it's proven that it does not cause aggressive behavior. We should always play games that is appropriate for our age and we should never play games that's inappropriate for our age.
