Alarm at violent video games Today, playing video games and watching interesting videos on the internet are among the indispensable activities that hundreds of millions of people spend their leisure time on to have fun. Advanced visual effects, action scenes and unusual stories make video games much more appealing than their alternatives. Children and teenagers especially show great interest in video games of various exciting genres such as adventure, sports, racing, war and strategy. Indeed, it is a clear fact that there are many benefits to playing video games, as it assists in developing children and teenagers' intelligence and skills and improves their general sense of culture. However, there is an important point of discussion, which is the destructive psychological effect that the increasing promotion of violence in the virtual world has on children and teenagers. Many psychologists, sociologists, educators, communicators and academics agree with this view. As a matter of fact, most of the computer games that appeal to millions of children worldwide include violence. Besides the games that encourage violence and can even lead one to suicide, the number of such videos is also quite high. 'Choking Games', 'Fire Challenge', 'Eyeball Challenge', 'Human Embroidery', '48 Hours Challenge' are among these. Those who play violent video games and watch violent movies are known to grow aggressive over time and begin to exhibit various behavioral disorders. Experts point out that these games, which dull ethical behavior and drive people to hatred, hostility and aggression by desensitizing them, are addictive and encourage harmful actions against others. Children and teenagers who are continuously subjected to these games and movies acquire a marginalized sense for firing a gun, and for killing or harming themselves or others. More in comment....
