In the town of New York City a high school every year plays a water gun game named Killer. The game has brought up a lot of controversy. People, probably christians think the game is violent and can bring out the evil in people. I personally think the game is fine. I think the game is safe because it's just simulated violence so no one can actually get hurt. No one will actually fill any pain, why because it's just a water gun team fight. The game is only just for fun.
Besides this game people usually mental doctors and christians once again say that violent games are bad because they think that it influences bad behavior. They also think that videogames are causing the mass murders we have today. Games like Grand theft auto, Mortal kombat, and call of duty. The games like these are all just fun and if someone could get easily influenced by these games than they should not play the games. I do believe that there should be ratings for games but for different reasons.little kids should not be around violent behaviors because its too inapropet so dont allow them to play violent games. But i don't believe that a teenager or adult can be influenced to try to do these killings and robing and such in real life. I think that what is really causing the violence is someone's mental psyche. Like if someone is just crazy and someone who is just wanting the violence not the video game. If someone does have a mental problem than don't allow him/ she play theses kinds of game.s
Video games even help people in many different ways. They could help think out of a hard situation and some games even require people to think. games like cupid are little big planet. Even the Batman Arkham games requires you to think . So instead of looking at games like something evil you can also look at them as something fun to play. Yes there are violent wouldn't want kids to play so don't let them play them. I don't believe that violent games are bad in general because they are fun. They have meaning and they are not just random violence. Games like cod or gta have meaning in to why its violent. Yes it is a free realm game so you can do a lot of random violence but the game itself is built to have meaning.
The game i talked about earlier killer can be helpful to teens by making them have to think. Like to think out of tough situations and team building. The game would have to make them outsmart each other and would have to make them work together and to strategize a plan to take down everyone else who is playing the game. Some games can make people use their imagination like the game Skyrim. It takes people having to create a charter and it takes their wit and imagination to play it and to make really fun. Of course people usually christians say that these games are terrible they even say that pokemon is bad and makes you gay. Games were made to have fun since pong. Games were not made to have random violence all of them have a story and meaning rather it be for fun, strategy, are thinking which can all be helpful in the future dont think of them as evil think of them as things that can be helpful and meaningful. So dont always say the bad in things at the good in them too.
