“Violent video games are dangerous/harmless”

Video Games always provide a great pass time activity for children. These
games are so many and so addictive that when a child is not controlled, he
can spend all his time playing video games. The game a child plays can be a
good or bad thing in his life. Example, how to play basketball at a young age
shows sign of high levels of intellect. However, the same case does not apply
to violent games. There are effects of playing video games. The first one is
addiction. Second one is the violent behavior, and The third one is the eyes.
It’s okay to play video games if you just know how to balance it with studies
and work.

There are 2 types of effect of video games. The positive and the negative
effect. The positive effect of playing video games help us improve cognitive
abilities, such as increase visuospatial cognition, mental rotation, attention,
and help individuals overcome cognitive limitations . The negative effect of
playing video games is that it can affect your brain, memory, and vision.
They can also cause anxiety, and even isolation if the addiction gets severe
enough. It can also kill brain cells and interrupt a person’s sleep. That’s why
we need to balance playing with studying and resting. I will explain to you
the effects of playing video games. Addiction, because of this the child might
get lazy enough to no do the chores or work. They only have time for
playing that’s why we should discipline our child to balance playing and
studying. The second one is the violent behaviour of the child. Because of
this, the friends of the child or even the family and the society might get
rippled or harmed because of this violent behaviour. The third one is the
eyes. This is the main cause of playing computer games, it can damage the
eye and might cause blindness or eye problems. That’s why we should limit
playing computer games so that we can avoid eye problems.

Violent video games should be removed so that no kids can be harmed. And
if your child wants to play video games, let them play games that has no
gore or violence. So you should discipline your child in playing games before
it’s too late. Even though your child is big and can make his own decision,
you still need to discipline him because maybe if he keeps on playing violent
games like killing, he might grow up as a killer. So it is important to
discipline your child to not play violent games and play learning games. You
can let your child play violent games, but just monitor him. And the most
important part is violent video games have more negative effects compared
to positive effects to the player. The large numbers of people who play video
games get addicted and spend much of their time on the games. Violent
video games make many people to develop violence to other people,
whereby they lose the feeling of helping others or showing empathy to other
people. Violent video games make the players to internalize anxiety
whenever they have issues whereby they do not feel comfortable sharing
with other people to get help. The majority of children who watch and play
video games spend much of their time on the games instead to school work
and hobbies thus end up scoring low grades in their studies. So that’s why
we should not let our child be consumed by Video games or else you will
regret it. Do it before its too late!
