Does violent video games considered to be the most aggressive thing in children’s life! We all know that those kinds of games that have violence are really caused the addiction to most youth these days. Kids are more likely addict to whatever new game comes out. Therefore, parents are having the most difficult part of how to deal with their need as well as what they should not do in order to not be in the dark side. While there are several video games that can be beneficial to the youth, there are tons of games that might cause them a very negative impacts such as, Gears of war. This particularly game have lots of violence in it and whenever it comes to think of just the name, we can see the aggression, the addiction and this might lead to health problems. Players have the opportunity to learn how to kill by which type of specific weapons and so on. Just thinking in that way we can feel the violence before we see it played. The poster of the game filled with blood background and the name bolded with dark red and this would lead us to see the fierce environment. In the other hand, some experts think that those games are really the most beneficial to the youth because they can see how suffering would if it’s real and this is kind of education to have a background about being in this environment. In this essay I will argue about those games and compare the both articles which are, “The Effect of Online Violent Video Games on Levels of Aggression” and  “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: A Meta-Analytic Review Of Positive And Negative Effects Of Violent Video Games”. 

In the article, “The Effect of Online Violent Video Games on Levels of Aggression” the author suggests, violent video games are increasing these days and this might be a very negative thing about it because those games would really impact the youth’s brain (Hollingdale 10). As I mentioned Gears of War, one of the most aggressive game played among children because they found it just for fun. However, thinking in one way sometimes would lead us to have many obstacles in our life which means many negative impacts such as being careless and aggressive. This environment would lead the youth to act whatever they already learned from that game because to begin playing that game required knowing how to use weapons as well as what people that have to kill so many things in the game can be difficult to imagine because a few of us who can really see it harmful. Furthermore, one of the common mistakes happening now days is allowing kids to play such as Gears of war because this specific game leads to the aggression and even not care of the death. As soon as parents have the plan of how they educate their children in a proper way, the more benefits will both parents and their kids gain for bright future.

On the other hand, According to “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: A Meta-Analytic Review Of  Positive And Negative Effects Of Violent Video Games,” the authors suggests is that arguing about the negative effects of violence video games leads to ignore the possibility of positive effects and there are many that lots of people do not see (Ferguson). For instance, people have an idea of Gears of war is only aggressive game because of its violence, however; this game has the potential to let the youth more focused on which direction to go and think very deeply on how to pass the steps of the game. Moreover, people who play those kinds of games are able to improve their performance weather in life or in games faster enough than non-players (Ferguson). It seems when people just think in one way might lead to just see the negative sides and that is what happening now days when people talk about Gears of war. This game is the most played game among children and if the negative impacts were dominated, we can see this game immediately been prohibited. However, this game is totally very advance game to people who love playing and thinking deeply at the same time which counted a positive side to those researchers. 

We can see both of the articles are opposing each other and that means it is hard to say which one is right or wrong. Both of the authors have different aspects of those games and saying just this “game is bad” is not a formal way to say it and even not a good word to describe those games because we can ask people who are really above us who are experts in that fields. Furthermore, we need to be more educated when we want to know what is good and what is not. People who think those games somehow beneficial in some way and have many possibilities, are totally right and I agree with them totally of their research, however; looking into the negative effects we can see more than its potentials. For instance, people who became addicted in those games are most likely prone to health problems such as, damages eyes sight, less control and headache. People who play those games are more tending to be lazy in their studies and there are some statistics show the degree of students who are non-players to be higher than those who are addicted. 

Finally, According to the article, “Violent Video Games,” the author says that one of the most common mistakes is sharing with family and interacting with people. In other words, children grow up with only playing video games and that lead them to be far away from interacting with others and this counted as very big problem that we face as a society. In order to solve that issue, we need some strategies to help youth from being addicted and careless in just spending time in video games. Because being such as careless, addicted and uneducated would lead kids to have a very disappointment life with no successful. Therefore, arguing in both of the articles, “The Effect of Online Violent Video Games on Levels of Aggression” and “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: A Meta-Analytic Review Of  Positive And Negative Effects Of Violent Video Games,” is really beneficial because we can see lots of aspects to help us to prepare our children for future and this is not a lot of us we can see unless if we care. Gears of war is harmful in some ways but if parents limit their children’s time of playing, will help them at least to not be careless and even with their health. Actually, taking care of children and treating them in a proper way is not an easy task, to end that subject we have to think very deeply on the questions which are below to help the youth to have a successful life.

What kinds of moral benefits they would get if they only gain nothing unless playing Gears of war?

What should parents have to do in order for their kids to be prepared for their future?
