Are video games dangerous

Answer 1

If the Video Games themselves are violent, they can influence behavior. Video games don't really cause violence, but being repeatedly exposed to it can make it more likely for a person to respond with violence, especially if the person is already prone to violence.

It is possible. Games such as Gears of War can inspire you to do those things in real life. Also, Halo and WWE (I have the game, it does not inspire me, but it can to you) can inspire.

A person once told of playing lots of Doom and later passing by a building where someone banned them. They got this image in their head of that person being a cacodemon and firing a rocket launcher at them on the 3rd floor. They snapped themselves out of that image and decided to cut back on the game.

Answer 2

Violent video games can cause bad influences on children. There have been accounts of children thieving, mugging, attacking, etc. On one account (and possibly more) when asked why they've done this, the answer was "Grand Theft Auto" Video games can damage eyesight, too. Often you hear parents saying "Stop playing those games. They'll rot your brain!" This statement may, or may not be true.

On the other hand, there are educational games, anti-bullying games, and many games (including violent games) can have history and facts in them. Some fighting/strategy games take place in the past in historical areas such as Rome, China, Japan, America, Mexico, England, and more. Games like this may also introduce generals and soldiers or these armies such as Caesar, George Washington, Hitler, Napoleon, and more. Some may even include Greek, Roman, and Norse myths. These games can help educate children into learning more about the history of a country, city, state, or area. It is in fact, true that when asked about the history of Caesar by the teacher (when they hadn't even learned about him yet), a kid answered, "He's in the video Game I play, CAESAR IV."

Answer 3

No. There was no less violence, but there have been studies that have shown that there is also a lot more apathy, possibly in part due to violent video games and movies. Video games can breed apathy as well as desensitize people to violence, but it really depends on the person playing them and how often they play them.

Answer 4

People are attracted to violent video games and as long as video games aren't played by someone that is incapable of distinguishing between reality and fiction such as someone with a medical disorder or someone on drugs. The person doesn't have any potentially damaging medical disorder such as epilepsy. They can actually be very productive at stress relief and problem solving kill development. In other words, that all depends on time management or mental or body function as well. They are not actually as dangerous as you thought might be. Even violent video games are said to be helpful and interesting for students' brains. They do not make you aggressive, unless you have some psychological problems, in which does happen to people on some occasions. Playing too much video games can waste your time from doing other things.
