Gaming questions

2)
a. Three arguments why there are no links between video games and aggression
~ It is easy to show that there is a link between violence and video games. But it is extremely hard to prove that people who don’t play video games are less violent because of it. Researchers found “no strong effects associated with aggression caused by this violent game,” said Dmitri William, the lead author of the study.
~ You can’t say that it’s related unless you have a long term study and the person has changed dramatically, and even then it could be related to hormones or any other possible effect life has on people. “I’m not saying some games don’t lead to aggression, but I am saying the data are not there yet,” Williams said.
~ Besides even if you get rid of the violent video games, that doesn’t take it out of everyday life. Violence is all around us, on the street, on the news, in movies. It’s everywhere. So you cannot without a doubt, ever prove that violent video games are the only cause of encourage violent behavior in anyone. According to Williams, researchers have suspected a strong linkage between games and aggression “but, with the exception of relatively short-term effects on young adults and children, they have yet to demonstrate this link.”

b. List two positive effects of playing video games
~ It encourages people who have trouble socializing face to face to socialize in a safer environment. You would be surprised who confident people can become when they know that they may never meet this person. “Based on my research, some of the potential gains are in meeting a lot of new people and crossing social boundaries. That’s important in a society where we are increasingly insulated from one another.”
~ not only does it encourage people to socialise more than they would normally. It also encourages team work in otherwise very insecure and secluded people. “How often can someone direct and coordinate a group of eight or 40 real people to accomplish a complex task, as they do in these role-playing games? That’s a real skill.
