Yes, violent video games have become more popular, meanwhile becoming controversial, but still there exist no links between aggression and video games. The University of Bologna says that “owning videogames does not in fact seem to have negative effects on aggressive human behavior” (Koffler par.7). Meanwhile, news outlets keep on missing the point on how beneficial video games are. Video games do not contribute to violence, can be educational, and they can improve us in different ways.

Video games are a big part of life in modernized countries. It is one of the biggest entertainment money makers and of the things people enjoy doing. They are now mostly played inside the comfort of your home, with a console or computer. But things weren 't always like this. About 40 years ago you would most likely go to the arcade to play. The consoles they had out were either expensive or not good enough to compete with the arcade ones. Classic video games were made with 4-bit pixels and in very low resolution than modern day games. Over the decades, game machines continuously evolved and become more and more powerful, capable of stunning visuals and graphics. In the 21st century, social media, smart phone and tablet technology entered the gaming scene. Casual games become the norm attracting previously non-gamers into the market. However, if those low-quality games were never made, the games would not have evolved into the games they are today.

When the kids, who witnessed Bobo’s travails, were later left alone with the toy, they were more likely than other children, to abuse Bobo themselves. Bandura concluded that “social scripts” presented on screen can guide children’s behavior in real life. In the article “The Case for Violent Video Games” by Dana Goldstein, writes that such anxieties intensified after the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. It turned out that Eric

Video games have been around for over fifty years and have become quite popular over the past four decades. In fact, they are so popular that a certain subset of them have recently come into scrutiny and are a topic of hot debate. This subset contains video games that are violent in nature, which, many people loathe. Those people try to use many fallacious tactics to persuade others to join their cause. Take the article ‘Violent Video Games Can Desensitize Players and Increase Aggression’ for example, firstly it hooks an audience with its hasty generalization that violent video games create mass murderers, secondly it uses cum hoc ergo propter hoc to provide evidence that video games contribute to and enforce desensitization and aggression, and thirdly it uses appeals to anonymous authorities to provide accreditation for the content it discusses.

In this judicious Psychology Today article on videogame violence, Brad Bushman, a psychology professor and violent media analyst, guarantees that violent computer games significantly affect the aggression levels of kids. By taking after psychological and logical thinking, Bushman studies how really violent computer games build and energize aggressive behavior. He talks about the psychological ideas of dynamic learning, recognizable proof, and behavioral conditioning keeping in mind the end goal to demonstrate that violent computer games increases violent behavior. For instance, players are frequently granted with additional points for scoring headshots in certain computer games, and Bushman trusts this empowered violent conduct may be transfering over into different parts of children's lives. Bushman trusts that by making his audience aware of the way that violent games really influence kids, his viewers will better control or possibly

Mainly because with all of the mass shootings that have occurred over the years that have left many different families devastated.

Many people assume that videogames are the direct cause of real life violence, because in incident like the Columbine School Shooting where both Klebold and Harris shared common interest in both

Playing video games does not cause violent behavior. Don’t get me wrong, some video games show horrific acts of violence. “A recent survey found that 92 percent of U.S. kids--ages 2 to 17--play video games, and their parents bought 225 million of them last year to the tune of $6.4 billion.” (Sider 79).What’s here to argue is that violent video games do not cause violence among children, but the blame for violence should be on the individual and people who should have taught the individual better. If kids are not able to see the difference between reality and fantasy, then they really can’t be blamed for committing acts they see in a game and then imitating, not fully understanding the consequences of doing it in the real world.

The scene inside the game may lead to real things happen, especially for children, who are eager to experience it. Therefore, violent games may cause many impact, such as crimes, antisocial, and negative effects.

Most of us have certainly pondered on the thought if video games truly create violent citizens, I personally believe that video games do not what so ever. One must distinguish this topic accurately and consider learning to differentiate and not have a biased or radical opinion. There have been many attempts from a number of different people who have tried to give a bad name to video games due to the simulations and realness and say that video games will create a negative environment for anyone who plays them, especially in children.

On the topic of violence in video games again. In the article “Do violent video games encourage violence or are they just games?, it states “Yes. It's contributing in a big way for their little minds. They end up wanting to be the character.” Kids want to look up to someone and could possibly want to be like someone and video games can contribute to it. They promote violence and that can have a bad effect on kids because they might try to be like them. In the article “Do violent video games encourage violence or are they just games?, it states “Yes. These days, many young kids play those games and it influences someone to want to live that life.” Again these games influence kids and people because of the violence in them. One way they influence them is wanting them to live the life because they might think its cool. Which it’s not so that’s how they influence kids. These are some of the ways these games can lead someone to violence.
