Post 7: Do Violent Video Games Contribute to Youth Violence?

The problem is that Children and teens increasingly play video games and more than half 
of the 50 top-selling video games contain violence.
The debate over violent video games is because some people think that video games 
teach how to be violent and they relate kids violent behavior with video games.
In my position, violent video games may provide a safe outlet for aggressive and 
angry feelings and may reduce crime because kids can vent his rage destroying
 or killing in the game and then they no need to be aggressive. 

Children have a lot of emotions and they need to channel them  somehow, some can channel
 with sports, or activities. But now ,in agreement with the period, children are closer to
 technology.
 Kids can learn a lot with video games and use that to save their lifes, because
 in violent videogames an important point is to survive:
 An example of this is Hans Jorgen Olsen, a brave norwegian with only 12 years, that
 saved his little sister from the attack of an elk, thanks to techniques he learned playing
 World of Warcraft: a game considered violent.


In conclusion although there are a lot of sources of posible stimulation that can 
contribute to violence in children, like movies, cartoons, video games, and in the news.
Video games are a interactive valuable tool to increase knowledge and experience 
and violent video games more than contribute to youth violence, they can help
users to channel and teach survival techniques.

  1. I agree with your point of view and you even reminded me of the movie "the purge" where people discharge their anger once a year and then do not need to be aggressive
