TOPIC 2 - Games Under Attack : Addiction and Violence




SAMPLE OF VIDEO GAMES.

Critical Reflection :

Video games is famous among kids especially that plays between 8-12 years old. This is the part where the children are growing up and anxiously wants to know everything new. Based on page 156-157 of Introduction to Mass Communication : Media Literacy and Culture, what i understand from the comments is video games may cause a lot of negative effects towards video gamers. These cannot be blame on the publisher but also comes from the parental guides too. For instance, a child has a game consoles, PC's and etc that their parents has bought for them but parents need to guide on how to filter or managing the purposes of having it. Lack of positive guideline may cause the changing of personality in video gamers too. In Grand Theft Auto IV, for example, gamers can drive drunk, run down innocent by standers, hire and murder prostitutes, and commit unspeakable violence.
