Video Games Teaching the Wrong Values?

It’s said that a lot of video games can teach kids the wrong values as vengeance, aggression and violence is often rewarded and negotiating or nonviolent solutions are often not options. Female characters in games are usually portrayed as helpless, weaker or sexually provocative influencing wrong values about gender and just about violence in general. This is because in games if you get a kill or get vengeance on a story character you will be rewarded whether it be with in-game money or special items. Because it's rewarding it just continues to get the player to continuously be violent. In some games abusing women, prostitution and sometimes female characters have lower stats or don't have the same skills a male character does as they are seen as weaker, teaching children wrong values.      (The Positive and Negative Effects of Video Games, n.d.)
