When you talk about video games we usually hear that they are a bad influence. Some will say that video games make us more violent. The games they are talking about are shooter games and action games. Games in those genres are pretty heavy on killing and gore. Although these types of games are pretty violent we will find if these games are making us more violent.
Video games have been linked to making us more violent. Some scientists say violent video games are health threats such as smoking and intelligence defects. Violent games can increase the amount of violent thoughts that you have in a local setting. Violent video games are worse than violent movies or shows because they are interactive and cause you to be the aggressor.
Some research suggests that violent video makes people less violent, not more. Research suggests that people that play violent video games are less likely to be distracted by violent images. Any research that has said that violent games lead to violence haven’t been studied well over time. Researchers' bias is said to play a big role in this argument because they don’t like video games.
I think that video games do not cause violence because I really enjoy playing video games. Video games are also a really big part of social media and they are played everyday.
Do you think video games are making us more violent?
What is your favorite video game and why.

Great topic choice and summary Adam!! You started out the week commenting to students but then stopped. Keep going all week next time.
I don't think video games make us violent. The only games would be games like Call of Duty or other first person shooters. Other games like Warthunder, Minecraft, Trailmakers and others that arent shooters are pretty friendly. Some shooters like Apex and fortnite are shooters but there not so real content make them less violent than others.
I dont like Warthunder but it is my favorite game.
I am a big van of open world fantasy games like God of War and elden ring because it just gives me a chance to ecape from the limitations of the real world and just have fun. I think games are a form of art, and forcing them to not indulge in violence is removing core aspects of them in some cases.
I do not think that the video games are making us more violent. I think people are becoming more violent because of their personalities and how they are being raised. I think bad people can learn things from video games but I have never wanted to go be violent because I played a video game.
I think video games could possibly make us more violent. I also think even if you are someone who plays violent video games you still grow up know right from wrong and you learn to know not to do certain things. Such as things you would do in violent games.
I think video games do not make us more violent. Kids do not really do anything but play the game to kill time. But if someone is really into a gruesome game there is a chance it makes them act more violent but I think in most cases they do not make people violent.
I do not think video games are making us more violent. I think video games are just to occupy kids that have nothing to do. I might be wrong because I've never played video games before but that's what I think. But if video games are violent then why are parents letting their kids play video games?
i believe that for some people vido games like call of duty and other games with violence might make them agrasive , but for others it could be diffrent, they have a better self control level then others.
I believe for some kids it can make them more violante. As some kids have bad childhoods, and they could take some games as an okay to be violent. For msot kids they understand that it is just a game, and they cannot actually do those actions in real life to other people.
I do not believe that videogames make the average person more violent, but there could be some exceptions. I think that if videogames did make us more violent there would be more proof from studies. I actually think that it is possible for videogames to make people less violent because playing games and talking to friends can probably relieve stress.
