Nowadays, electronic
games
on portable gadgets are increasingly popular with residents and it is believed that
this
kind of entertainment is harmful to people and the society they live in. I totally disagree with
this
opinion due to some reasons I mentioned below.
On the one hand, video
games
can bring some considerable benefits for players. The
first
notable advantage is that they are an incredible way for labourers to relax after hard-working hours. The reason lies in the fact that
this
mean of entertainment is one of the most effective methods for players to blow off some steam.
Therefore
, there were a vast number of companies putting plenty of gaming portable devices in their office to help their employee to recharge the battery.
In addition
,
this
type of relaxation
also
is a mentionable source of knowledge for individuals. An example can be seen in
Vietnam
, where many students spend a lot of hours playing DOTA a game having an American context, these students could absorb information about American history and improve their English.
On the other hand
, electronic
games
on portable gadgets
also
bring about some demerits for society.
Firstly
, they are a wonderful source of income for the national economy, which is because, in
this
time when the COVID 19 problem is still not entirely tackled, many industries have to witness a bad development, but the gaming industry is an exception. Specifically, in many regions having the lockdown, the citizens there can spend a bigger figure for time playing videos
games
, which leads to a wonderful improvement of gaming companies' profits.
Moreover
,
this
kind of relaxation
also
is a practical way for countries to introduce their culture to other foreign nations.
For example
,
Vietnam
has a game called 7554 which is about the
Vietnam
wars having a great success in the market
last
year.
This
game actually allowed
this
country's natural landscapes and culture to be known by players over the world,
therefore
Vietnam
saw a sharp increase in the development of national tourism.
In a nutshell, it is true that video
games
may create both positive and negative impacts on citizens and society.
However
, I am of the opinion that we can gain a lot of significant benefits from
this
kind of entertainment as long as we are fully aware of the potential threats.
