Video games are not the problem

The debate on the prohibition of violent games for minors has caused many discussions.

Though the ERSB system of qualification for games is good, it has not stopped the purchases of this type of games for children.

When in 2003, Gentile and Anderson made this study, their conclution was that all type of violent games cause in one way or another aggressive actions and reactions on young people under 18 years old.

One American doctor assures that this kind of games can distort the way children act and confuses them since the games reward players while doing incorrect acts.

In my opinion, children’s behavior is not only their responsibility, it is also an adults matter. Parents are children’s guide and example, and if they don’t pay attention to the small details, their children can always walk the wrong way. If adults teach children the right way, they can play any kind of game without taking dangerous risks.
