Perspective: Violent Video Games

By Marlon P. and Israel S.


Though video games made their appearance in the 1970s, it wasn't until systems like the Sony PlayStation were released in the 1980s that violence became a problem. Along with these systems came the ability to make graphics more lifelike. The more lifelike they've become, the more interest there has been in the correlation between violent games and violent behavior. One of the primary concerns with violence in video games is that gaming is not passive. In order to play and win, the player has to be the aggressor.As the level of violence in video games has increased, so has concern for the effects on those who play - especially those who play a lot. Many are quick to point out that most school shootings in recent years have been carried out by avid gamers, and their games of choice were always dark and violent.Video game and Internet addiction usually point to other mental problems including anxiety, depression and trouble forming healthy relationships.





This is a picture of a game that is very popular with kids. Call Of Duty is a series with many games and is somewhat violent.
