Selling Violent Video Games On Minors

In the beginning all was good; there was no evil. The start of evil was marked when a jealous angel, Satan, desired equality to God. He thrust an ever-lasting battle into play when he battled God for supremacy. One-third of all the angels in heaven, including Satan, were thrown from heaven onto Earth. God’s perfect creation became faulted when the fallen angel, Satan, tempted Adam and Eve into eating a forbidden fruit. By partaking of the forbidden fruit, sin was born on Earth. The birthing of such catastrophe--evil--has affected even the modern millennial generation. That occurrence marked the beginning of the perennial conflict of good versus evil--light versus darkness. The conflicts are traced all the way back to the very beginning

Before going further into history, I think we have to take a look back at where it all started. It is interesting to see how David Stannard points out

“Academics have researched and documented flow-related experiences for decades, with many repeatedly linking it to a number of positive outcomes for adolescents, including academic improvements in high school, improved self-esteem, and decreased levels of anxiety” (Glynn).

Violence and Video Games A lot of teenager’s love the game’s Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto 5; well at least I know I love them. These games are played on the daily by many teenagers. But some Adults and people who work in the government, thinks game’s as such as those cause some teenagers and adults to do violent things but why? Just because, some teenagers and adults play violent video games doesn’t meant that’s making them do the things they do.

I know that sounds backwards, the end of the beginning, but it isn't. For us, mankind, it was the gathering place, the culmination of a dream, a nightmare, and the place that I have chosen to begin this story; but so as not to confuse you anymore than you are already, I want to take you back in time, back six years to where it all began, at least for me.

If you asked me where it all started, I would not be able to tell you, for I believe it had many beginnings. The first beginning is not one I was witness to. So I shall disclose to you the events as I experienced them; from the beginning of my involvement.

The purpose of my paper was to compare how the world views juvenile violence which is basically the statistical data because that is what society sees when they look up these particular types of violence, and how the youth feels about the violence. In my paper the four juvenile violence topics I chose were gang, school, dating, and youth violence. I talk about what each violence is and give general statistical data on the topics then I talk about how the youth may feel about the crimes they commit and why I believe they commit them. At the end of my paper I will choose a position and state why I choose that position. In writing this style of paper I found that it best to look at this topic with two different point of views, to really try and solve a problem.

Why do I think, “Violent Video Games Cannot Make People Violent”? I personally have been playing video games for many years and not once have I ever harmed anyone. I have never stabbed, shot, or even fought another living thing in my entire life. A man named, “Erik Kain” wrote an article on www.forbes.com stated that, “Anyone who has actually engaged in real violence---a fight at school, for instance---will know just how vastly different it is from the violence we experience on a screen. Real violence is frightening and overwhelming and takes control of your entire body.” This is a great example, because when engaging in a real fight unlike in video games you won't be as confident, cause if you were to lose that would be an embarrassing experience unlike

There have always been times of special significance in human history. Kingdoms rise and fall, rulers come and go, wars rage, and nature is capricious in devastating storms and eruptions of earth and sea. Historically, the common man is scarcely aware of the great sweep of time beyond the daily routine of his life, and the inevitability that he will someday join the ranks of his ancestors who have passed on before him.

No matter when we consider the beginning of time, there will always be the question of origin. "And before then- what?"

Sebastian Florez Brian Lorio Fundamentals of Speech November 28, 2017 Whenever societal violence occurs one of the first things looked at is what type of video games the suspect plays. Usually the perpetrator is an avid gamer who plays games such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto which are infamous for their extreme violence. Mainstream news and reporters attempt to make their audience's believe that their is a correlation between video games and behaviors. But Is it fair to assume that there even is correlation.Is it fair to assume violent video games inspire violent tendencies in real life? So everyone Has heard this in fact most parents believe it According to a survey by Common sense Media over 75% of parents who participated in a poll believe that violent video games contribute to Violence. Although the scientific evidence proves otherwise why do the majority of people still believe this. Not only does this give a bad impression to the people who actually play these type of games which is the majority of people but putting the blame on the games and not the mental state of the perpetrators will not help put an end to these horrific events. So why do people even believe this. Well it's no secret that Older generations tend to disparage new things that youth like, such as video games. In the 50s comic books were blamed for corrupting youth back in the day. And By the 1980s, former Vice President Al Gore's wife Tipper Gore led a crusade against Twisted Sister's' Dee

Have you ever wondered how everything in the world began? I know I have. Some of you could be thinking about it right now. Or have already.

Video games are the primary source of entertainment for children nowadays. Be it in form of Wii Games, Nintendo or Xbox; children nowadays seems to be practically smitten with video games. It was also shown as evidence in some cases that the influence of such games is so huge that few children start speaking and acting like characters in the video games. Many video games, dating back to 1976’s Death Race, contain some or other aspect of violence, such as killing the bad person, driving dangerous vehicle etc. With advancement in graphic technology including software, modern computers and other game related technology, the way in which such violence and other extreme sports are being depicted has become more vivid and realistic. Further, as more and more children are getting exposed violent games, there is a growing awareness among both parents and the government for regulation of such games. Also, apart from the fact that people were, in general, becoming more aware and conscious, numerous studies were also being done to find connection between violent video games and the rate at which violence and crime is growing. Some of these studies showed existence of a positive correlation.
