Many people think that videogames are harmful, , should be banned immediately. The most popular argument is that modern computer entertainment promotes violence contributing to affected moral values of
youth. , computer games are in fact useful since there is no that
these products build violent behavior model, while the positive effects include learning along with relaxing potential.
exposure to realistic depiction of violence in games has no effect on human personality.
Even children differentiate fictional environment from real-world and realize where specific behavior models can be
applied. Dr. Zendle from the University of York conducted scientific experiments in 2018 but did not detect
aggression increase in participants who played in realistic cruel combat games. , as for me,
the possibility to adopt violent way of behavior completely diminishes the necessity to demonstrate cruelty in real
life.
such games possessing as much violence like many other objects of art in the modern
world: films, books, pictures, etc. All the mentioned objects are treated as art that possesses deeper meaning and
value. At the same time, many modern video products such as Witcher series demonstrate developed plot, aesthetic
value, and strong moral component. that such activities may be compared to books and
films in terms of their entertaining and learning capabilities.
, it is clear that such entertainment demonstrates a rather high level of violence due to
increased realism and improved graphics. , it does not mean that they should be banned
since all other art pieces, such as films and books, sometimes demonstrate even higher violence level. Positive
characteristics of electronic games such as relaxation and entertainment need to be studied instead. However, the
appropriate gaming time should be considered since uncontrolled exposure to computer monitor may indeed be
harmful.
