Some people think that the crime among teenagers is increasing because of violent video games. To what extent you agree or disagree?
Video
games
have become increasingly popular among the younger generations. This
trend has raised concerns about the growth in violence as a result
of harsh games
. Are video
games
directly related to the unpleasant behaviours of pupils?
Initially
, it is true that the crime rate has risen in different areas of the world, especially in developed countries. Some people tend to believe that this
is mainly caused by video
games
as they are also
becoming more and more popular among children
in those countries with the highest rate of crimes. While
video
games
can undeniably extend the degree of bad-tempered manners in children
, they should not be taken as the only cause of this
problem. There could be other encouraging sources of violence such
as inappropriate TV programs and some Hollywood movies that should be considered as well.
Having said that, the positive effects of a proper education can simply reverse the negative effects of any destructive sources. On the family side of this
matter, parents should take the main responsibility of teaching basic moral principles to their own children
and providing a peaceful atmosphere for them to grow in. Besides
, every activity of teenagers should be supervised by their parents so that they do not indulge themselves in video
games
for more than a specific amount of time. Teachers, on the other side, can act as role models for their students and discourage any harsh behaviour in them. For example
, they can show students how they are capable of controlling their temper in some tempting situations.
In conclusion, children
should be allowed to play video
games
with extra caution as they can be affected severely by the violent content, however
, these games
can not be referred to as the only cause of the issue, and we have to deal with other underlying factors as well.Submitted by greatsoloist on
