| No, video games do not cause people to be violent. People have a choice of how they react to stimuli in their environment. If they play a video game and believe that that is the real world then they shouldn't be playing them, they should be in counseling. Parents and politicians seem to just use the excuse that videogames teach children violence, etc. because it is easy to blame the media. However, no one ever seems to talk about the option that parents DON'T have to buy videogames for their kids.....you cannot willingly buy them these games and then complain about their so-called affect on children. Just be better parents and you won't have to worry about whether or not Grand Theft Auto was responsible for making your child into a serial killer. |
