“Until recently, we have been locked in a binary, we kill them or they kill us world view. Yet the more blood spilled the worse it becomes. We must find another approach!

Murder is a reprobate action that is an inevitable part of war. It forces humans into immoral acts, which can manifest in the forms such as shooting or close combat. The life of a soldier is ultimately decided from the killer, whether or not he follows through with his actions. In the short stories The Sniper by Liam O'Flaherty and Just Lather, That's All by Hernando Téllez, the killer must decide the fate of their victims under circumstantial constraints. The two story explore the difference between killing at a close proximity compared to killing at a distance, and how they affect the killer's final decision.

So how did all of this begin? Let us go back to a time where

In 1976 the arcade game "Death Race" was released based on the movie "Death Race 2000". The objective of this game was to use your car in order to run over fleeing goblins. This video game was so simple but had so much controversy behind it that it led to the first study on the physiological effect of video games on the human mind. Ever since Death Race, video games have continued to make huge advances in order to create an almost endless amount of possibilities on what you can or cannot do in a video game. Since the first video game was introduced, the gaming industry has seen a huge spike in the popularity of violent video games. Not only have they become more popular, but they have also become significantly more realistic. So realistic,

According to the Book Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents, video games were first made in the 1970’s, but they did not become violent until the 1990’s. when violent video games first came out, companies tried to make them less violent, but violent seemed to be what was selling. These games use to have people disappear when they would get killed, but the new games were showing the people bleed out and have them slowly die. After a while, companies started to make the first-person shooter games. With these games, the players could feel like they were actually holding the gun and shooting people. Along with the new views of the games, they were also becoming more and more realistic as technology was starting to improve. Today’s violent video games seem so realistic that it is not wonder some kids get immune to seeing people bleed out or die, since “85% or more of video games on the market contain some form of violence”, according to a CNN article written by Scutti called "Do Video Games Lead to Violence?" written in 2017. With such a high percentage being violent, it is no wonder children are so exposed to so much violent media.

To begin with, video games are something kids, teens, and even adults enjoy playing every day. Video games have provided people endless hours of entertainment to people across the globe, yet people seemingly want to get rid of video games altogether. Whenever any sort of crime occurs and a report comes out that the individual plays video games, video games take the blame rather than the person who committed the crime. Video games tend to be a very common scapegoat for causing violence. However, video games may not be the cause of the crime or issue at all.

I must concede that to an unstable mind, a video game could easily present the false image that killing is okay. That said, it is difficult to portray video games as anything more than a catalyst which brought out a person’s more deeply-rooted problems. In their article, Porter and Starcevic note that “some investigators have theorized that ‘interactive’ media violence in video games may exert a greater effect on an individual than ‘passive’ media violence (such as TV and film)” (3). Even if the video games can be named responsible for pushing someone over the edge to kill, other forms of violent media should be held equally responsible for portraying the same false image of killing. It’s not as if a video game can train a person to use a gun or perform hand-to-hand combat; even if such a game existed, it would likely be shot down by publishers before ever being released for fear of the negative attention it would draw.

Ever witnessed violence in a video game being played? Typically, violence is provided in most video games with action. Whether the character in the video game is hitting you with a bat, shooting you with a gun, or jumping on the head of a villain in the game. Provided, these games show the effect of helping to learn violence instead of preventing it. Even the U.S. Military and mass shooters have used video games to teach them ways of violence for real life scenarios.

Violence and video games belong to two different genres of words; one is connected with pain and agony and another with fun and amusement. Two of them found their relation, when violence was infused in video games and a new genre of games categorized as violent video games flooded the market and gained immense popularity among teens and adolescent. These games got the attention of researchers, parents and child advocacy groups when acts of extreme violence exerted by teens became a hot news topic. They do not have a precise definition.

First, I’d like to tell you about the evolution of violent video games. According to a user on ng4.com named ABizzel1 In 1986 a game called Chiller was released and it was heavily influenced by the popular horror movies of the time such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Chiller was extremely gory for its time and due to its gore and violence, it was one of the first games to be banned. In 1992 another game shared a similar fate, Mortal Kombat was released in 1992 and rivaled the famed Street Fighter and became an instant success due to its gore and iconic finishing moves and it was the first game to cause political backlash in the US, during a congressional hearing on December 9th, 1993 Mortal Kombat was mentioned, and was banned in several countries.

History of Video Games. The very first video game came out in the 1970’s. Which was only formed with basic shapes and with very little interaction. The first that was created was: “Pong” in which it was just two rectangles as the paddles with a just a small ball you hit back and forth in which late became “Ping Pong.” This next game everyone loves so much “Pac Man” hard to believe but was the first game to be even considered violent. When you look back and think about it and try to picture the game you have a circle that chomps down in move to eat pills (there you have the drugs) and eat the ghosts to get to the next level. If you look back on the game today you wouldn’t really picture it being any form of violent.

When you look at the games being made now the graphic are more realistic and you can put your face on your character in NBA, and so forth. As to back then things any game that promoted violence was blurred out.

In 1976, a game called Death Race was released. This started the argument about whether children were allowed to play violent video games. 97% of teenagers in the world play violent video games. Of the top selling games, 28 are violent and were blamed for bullying, school shootings, and other major problems. These games are wrong in teaching young adults that violence is an acceptable way of solving problems. Some supporters think that research on the topic is deeply flawed and has no relationship with real violence. They feel like violent video games are a way to release anger and stress in a safe manner. Others who oppose children playing these games, believe that it introduces children to cruel and unacceptable behavior. Video games lead to bad behaviors and violence, if you are younger than 17.
