Video Games are too Violent for Children

Certain video games are indeed too violent for children but a lot of stereotypes exist. These stereotypes often make us believe that video games, especially violent ones make the gamer isolated and also that it affects his or her academic studies but a 2013 analysis proved that playing video games improves a player’s capacity to think about objects in three dimensions, just as hi-fi academic courses do. These courses enhance the same skills but take more time and patience as compared to video games. Thus, making these games good for understanding the content in our books practically and efficiently.

At the same time, many people believe that people who play video games are isolated and have no friends but most of the gamers play with a friend and millions of people worldwide participate in huge virtual worlds through video games, don’t you? Such multiplayer games become virtual social groups, where decisions need to be made quickly and players learn to be good decision-makers.

As per several types of research people who play video games, even if they are violent tend to develop cognitive skills such as spatial navigation, reasoning, memory, and perception. They also tend to develop thinking in three dimensions just. At the same time, several physicians worldwide have begun to use shooting games to motivate patients to improve their health. Thus, I want to conclude by saying that everything within a limit can be beneficial, including video games, even violent ones!
