Topic > Violent Video Games Affect Teens - 1162

How violent video games affect teens has always been a controversial topic for parents and adults. Many believe that violent video games are good for you, even though studies prove them wrong. Violent video games negatively affect a teenager's brain development and personality traits and are also a bad role model for teenagers. Violent video games like the new GTA 5 contain swearing, guns, carjackings and nudity that can influence a teenager's decisions about what is right and what is wrong. this will lead the teenager to have bad behavior. Violent video games are never good for teenagers. these video games can include crimes ranging from murder to rape. Letting older children play these video games only corrupts their brains and makes them dysfunctional. A study conducted by Wang and his colleagues at the Radiocal Society of North America showed how video games permanently altered the brains of young adults. Wang conducted this study by recruiting 22 young, healthy males between the ages of 18 and 29. The 22 males had played little or no video games before the test. the males were divided into 2 groups. one was a control group while the other constantly played video games all day. This went on for 2 weeks and then an FMRI was performed. Men who played violent video games showed less activation in the brain's left inferior frontal lobe and also in the anterior cingulate cortex during the test. this area of ​​the brain is reserved for the vital parts that control emotions and aggressive behavior. If the effect of these violent video games can change the minds of young adults, then they can certainly alter the brains of teenagers. After the second week, when no video games were played, changes in brain activation were low. could this mean that changes in the brain can become permanent if there is... in the center of the card... the protagonist character? Popular video games like GTA 5 and Call of Duty make people go around shooting. they kill a lot of people even if parents think it's okay for teenagers to play. Overall, these violent and murderous games should not be "ok" for teenagers. Like now, some games are limited to someone who must be 18 to purchase them. Even if this is regulated to this, it is enough that an 18 year old older brother has the brat around. something should be done about it. Video games have a negative impact on the minds of teenagers. Their thrills are influenced by games and affect the frontal section of the brain slowing down that part and causing adolescents not to control emotions efficiently, as well as causing them to behave more aggressively. In conclusion, video games have no positive way of helping teenagers, so there is no point in having them.
