Some people say that playing computer games is bad for children in every aspects. Others say that playing computer games can have positive effects on the way children develop. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Computer
games
have different effects on children
. Some people argue that from every point of view, it is harmful while
others believe that there is a positive impact on the development of a child
. I believe there were more negative impacts because a child
could have forgotten the importance of education.
On the one hand, children
that were exposed to computer
games
daily could have forgotten the importance of education. Teens and pre-teens that play every day with computers may not be able to do homework or not study for exams which may lead to laziness. Aside from that, the relationship between the parents could have been affected because they would not spend time together anymore. Things that should have been talked about like if there is a problem in school. For instance
, a child
who always plays computer
games
and has a nerdy appearance could cause schoolmates to bully and make fun of their looks. This
could lead the child
to turn his frustration and sadness into playing computer
games
. Parents must give attention to this
kind of reaction because it could lead to mental health problems
. I believe that those circumstances can be avoided by designating proper time so that children
and their parents could talk about problems
that should be discussed.
On the positive impact, computer
games
that are complicated could help children
to assess and resolve their problems
quickly. Being able to give a solution could be applied in the real-life situation. For example
, if the children
want to finish their household chores quickly, they could immediately think about how to make it easier and faster. This
could make the child
resourceful and being able to solve their own problem, could be a habit that they can bring until they grow up. I believe that despite the positive effect, those could still be taught to a child
in an alternative way.
In conclusion, I believe that computer
games
could help a child
solve problems
quickly and provide solutions on their own however
playing it could affect their studies and mental health, which is more important.Submitted by angeline07 on
