Dear Ms. Saravia:

I have chosen to do research about the controversial issue regarding violence in video games.
This topic is interesting in my opinion since I am knowledgeable of the fact that at least 90
percent of children in the United States play video games while 85 percent of those games
contain violence. With that, more than half of the 50 top-selling video games contain some sort
of violence. I am aware that this can lead to either positive or dangerous impact on society.

The thesis of my research paper will contain arguments supporting the reason for why violence
in video games is not as problematic as some may think. Although some people believe the
violence in video games is bad because it has a negative impact on society. However, violence in
video games can also leave a positive impact on society since it has been proven to have the
power to desensitize players to real-life violence. Not to mention, players would be able to
release their stress and anger in a game rather in real life itself. Some of the points I may include
are the research studies of experts in certain areas pertaining to human behavior. All information
will be facts supporting my argument.

My understanding of plagiarism and/or misrepresentation is to write down somebody elses

words and not give them credit. I understand that Sierra Vista High School holds a high standard
of academic honesty that I will abide by. I will submit my research paper to www.turnitin.com
which checks for plagiarism. I also understand that if I were to copy or plagiarize my research
paper, I will not be given credit and this may result in a disciplinary action and possible failure of
the first semester of junior English.

Sincerely,

Miguel Robles
