"are video games containing violence appropriate for children"

Being raised on violent video games such as Call Of Duty and Warriors the video game ,I felt this would be a good debate to accept.This debate is going to be a bit lazy since I'm programming my own game at this time.

I must ask you why we shouldn't allow it.


?Research involving British primary schoolchildren found that the length of time young people spends playing games rather than their content could have an effect on their behaviour or school performance-and even then only slightly so.

But it concluded that fears that a generation of young people are growing up with their development impaired by exposure to violent video games are no more likely to be borne out than previous ?moral panics ?over television and other media.

The study published in the journal psychology of Popular Media Culture ,found that children who play online games involving linking up with other players were less slightly likely to have problems relating to other children than those who played alone.

Equally those who mainly played solitary games generally perform better academically and were less likely to display aggression.

But it concluded that any effects were small and that overall video games were at most a ?satistically significant yet minor factor"in shaping children's behaviour.

Researches interviewed just over 200 Childer aged 10 and 11 about their playing habits including how long they spend each day and what types of game they preferred.

Meanwhile their teachers were asked to assess the children's academic engagement,behaviour and ability to deal with problems.

Two Thirds of Children said they played video games every day-although boys were almost twice as likely as girls to do so.Around one in 10 said they played more than three hours a day again a group dominated by boys.

Overall those who played for less than an hour a day were less likely to have problems such as aggression than those who did not play at all.

But those who spend more than three hours a day displayed higher levels of aggression and were less academically engaged

I think it help you!
