Games and Violence and Parenting
I have a hard time dealing with people who say video games turn people in to killers. This six part series deals with everything from the consistency of ESRB rating system to Columbine HS.
It's actually very informational and thankfully everyone in the video has common sense to realize that all media can influence violent behavior but are usually the least of the psychological problems in a violent person.
The best point that they make is that children try to emulate everything they hear, see, and read. Addiction was the subject they seemed most worried about, but they continue by saying that addiction to anything is bad.
Unfairly pointing out video games as an enabler is ludicrous. And creating legislation that breaks the First Amendment is even worse.
And I love the mother in the videos. Too bad all parents aren't like her. She's brilliant.
Here's the last video in the series.
Interesting points.
ReplyDeleteSince there's already a ratings system in place, I don't see what the big deal is. Parents need to do their job.
