How are Video Games Effecting Young People?

Children, teens and adults today are flooded with electronic media. From iPads to iPhones and Xbox to PlayStation, we all have some sort of electronic media with us at some point during the day. Either it be a smartphone or taking time to play some video games on the Xbox. But are violent video games influencing violent behaviour? 

Over time violent video games have been accused of influencing violent behaviour on young people and that they are linked to aggressive behaviour, but are they really the cause? Multiple studies have been conducted most discussing that yes, violent video games influence violent behaviour. Reasons ranging from the fact that video games reward violent behaviour, studies showing that children who play violent games can display aggressive behaviour and thoughts and that video games are known for their interactive nature so game visuals can also affect game play and its effects.  (The Positive and Negative Effects of Video Games, n.d.)

  1. Good use of the images used to put emphasis on how violent games are causing young people to become more aggressive.
    The target audience is gamers and parents.

    For something to improve on would be going more in depth with your points. Some of them begin to get into the good stuff or a detailed analysis of something, then it stops.
