Gun Violence and the cause of one’s
interpretation on the innocence of gaming :
The result of violent video and at home games varies depending on the mentality of one person. A
person with high confidence , and little problems at home , have a lower chance of exposure to violence
. take a look at a person that plays a lot of video games , but realizes mentally that they are unrealistic ,
and not in the real world . this viewpoint makes it seem that there is little harm in exposure to violent
games or video games . you might also want to consider a person with violence in the home . a student
who lives in a bad neighborhood , and has abuse or violence at home , may have a higher risk at doing
crimes such as shooting the school, and mentally thinking that they are such a character in the game . this
exposure can be harmful , but only if there is previous or present exposure in real life situations .
many of these events can be as tragic as the child getting pushed around or can be as small as
insults and bullies at school . because of these events .. all of these can add up because of this , the
viewing of games and video games can be tragic to only those with previous problems . people with high
confidence , and normal mentality can handle these types of games , and most likely will not end up
committing crimes . according to many sources .. statistics show that criminals with a high mentality ,
have a lower chance of committing them again and will be preoccupied by the tactics in the game .
Statistics show that one with a higher education that plays video games , will instead gain the intelligence
of knowing what to do in certain situations such as a hostage situation .
Some claim that simply playing the game itself may expose new ideas for crime , however
statistics show otherwise . As the sale and production of violent video games goes up , the amount of
violence goes down by a large amount . Games ( such as GTA V and Call of Duty ) preoccupy teens
and some adults who may have been known as criminals previously . these games keep them off the
streets and away from criminalization . this is because the game does not simply cause the influenced
crimes.
Violent games may not cause extreme crimes , but is solely based on one’s mentality . playing
these strategic games can educate teens and people . the strategies could help one in a situation .
immagine if you and your friends were stuck in a situation where your life was threatened . you might go
and take a flashback to when you played that one game and found a way to get out of it . This is one of
many ways that these games may help people . In this way of viewong things , The game itself does not
neccessarily cause the violence itself , but the violence is based off of one’s mentality .
