Violence and crime have increased in most major cities of the world. Some people say this is because children now play violent video games online. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Nowadays, most major cities around the globe suffer from

increasing violence and crime rates.
While
some people indicate that the prevalence of violent
video
games
leads to
children
's violent tendencies. I believe there is no direct link between both of them. On the one hand, some people blame
children
for having violent tendencies because they are addicted to
video
games
. And those violent
children
would become criminals in the future.
However
,
children
who show aggressive personalities likely suffer from difficulties in regulating their emotions. There are several possible reasons.
Firstly
, their parent might not spend enough time to accompany their
children
. Some lonely
children
will use improper methods to gain their parent’s attention. Adults should teach the younger generation how to ease their anxiety and regulate their motions
instead
of simply criticizing their behaviour.
On the other hand
, violent
video
games
have several prospects. I believe it is a blessing rather than a curse. In most violent online
video
games
, violence is not their majority element. If
video
games

in it. Most online
video
games
are equipped with chatting functions, and some
children
meet online friends and establish their friendships through playing the
games
. They play different characters in the fight and learn how to cooperate through the numerous adventures.
However
, if
children
show an addition to
video
games
, parents should teach them time management
instead
of forcing them to leave their computers.
Children
who grow up with good parenting would not lead to violent personalities even if they enjoy playing
video
games
.
To sum up
, everything has two sides and violent
video
games
are no exception. Spending too much time on them could cause negative development but there are still advantages involved. And there is no direct link between the increasing crime rates and the popularity of violent
video
games
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
