In my experience with water guns I was never hurt by them ever in my life. The tournament is only using water guns and nothing else than that. I don’t think anyone would get hurt by water otherwise maybe being hit in the eye. If anyone is hit in the eye then that is good aim, but no one will always have good aim. Besides that it’s only water and not bad chemicals. In my opinion I don’t think water guns are even that accurate let alone powerful. I think it’s okay for schools to hold water gun tournaments for weeks since it’s not going to hurt them. I believe it is great for kids to relax and not worry about homework and play since it is held at the end of the year. A New York high school is doing it and even some colleges. The annual water gun tournament held at a New York high school is safe, and fun for kids. Violent games are not always what cause crimes. Guy Martin, in”High-Jinks: Shoot-Out” (2009), explains that the game killers has become a common way to end the school year in some New York City High Schools(p.1)
These kind of things will not hurt the students in anyway. The students are only using water guns and can’t be hurt like that. I never heard of a kid being hurt or injured by a water gun. If someone did, not being mean but I’ll laugh because how is that possible. In my understanding you could be hit in the eye but the what water gun can be that powerful. A super soaker or a high pressure gun would but the boxes said not to point at the eye. Besides who would even bring to a water gun tournament. The should obviously have rules for that. These are even high schoolers or college freshmens. It could sting if you get hit in the same spot but why should you over react to it. I believe in my opinion that they should allow these tournaments to happen since who is going to sue the school over a -high school- student being hurt because of a -water gun-.
Now talking to games in general, I think it is okay for kids or adults to play these games because it helps their minds think. Shooting games can become strategy games if you know the map and use it to your advantage. These types of games like Call of Duty or Battlefield can make the people think and learn. In my opinion when I play videogames I learn about the games to get better at it. Gaming is a big hit in the world. Almost everyone play video games. These types of games can make peoples brains working all the time making strategies or just thinking. I think in my opinion that they are helping us build new techniques. These can help you with you eye hand coordination. Not all of these amazing games can be harmful to the human mind. Video games is one of the biggest franchise of all time. Study shows that a game resolved the structure of an enzyme that causes an Aids-like disease in monkeys. Researchers had been working on the problem for 13 years but the gamers solved it in three weeks. Some of these games can really solve a lot of problems like the games Foldit, Phylo, Fraxinus, EteRNA, etc. Violent games have positive impacts on people. What do you think about this? Mohammadi, D. (2013, March). How online gamers are solving science’s biggest problems. Retrieved from http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/25/online-gamers-solving-sciences-biggest-problems
Surprisingly enough violent video games are actually decreasing crime rates. From 2008 to 2011 crime rates have decreased 12.9 said by FBI statistics. This may seem odd but believe there are some holes through this statistic. The more violent games out there will keep criminals from doing the crimes outside of the world. Though this maybe true when GTA 5 came out, a very popular violent game that you can kill civilians or rob stores and even roam around the city shooting in a tank. Luckily the game doesn't have a single child except for the teens. When it came out crime rates went down by just slightly which doesn't really prove anything other than a coincident. What might you think about these statistics? Do you think it’s true or it’s a fail? Dashevsky, E. (2013, November). Violent video games may stop crime by keeping criminals busy playing violent video games. Retrieved from http://www.techhive.com/article/2067016/violent-video-games-may-stop-crimeby-keeping-criminals-busy-playing-violent-video-games.html
Violent games are not always what cause crimes. Overall I think most most video games are helpful these days because technology is getting bigger. What do you think about technology today? Though video games are being big we should limit the amount of video games we play a day. Video can help peoples mind, not just hurt it. Most adults always look on the bad side of video games saying it’s brainwashing kids. Not so much when they’re actually solving science most difficult problems. Second is that don’t judge games before you even know about it. Third and last is what do you think, do you agree or disagree? think about how it can help kids or adults or even hurt it.
