Good and Bad of video games

Video Games, Good or Bad

Several people can argue computer or video games are bad for children because such games provide you an aggressive thoughts, on the other hand many says that these games are good because they give you with a way to express your feelings. The reason a view can be developed either way is due to there is no accurate answer. It has been confirmed that these games enhance people’s ability to develop and implement multiple strategies, and assist build up techniques of critical analyzing. I am in favor of video games because it improves are brain.

For a little bit now, it has been one of those “recognized facts” that playing these games enhances the coordination of hand and eye, much to the concerns of parents trying to convert family members that their obsessive gaming has no redeeming value. According to a research that carried out at the “University of Rochester”, playing video games that are full of action also enhances the people’s capability to take accurate and proper decisions more rapidly (OECD, 2007, 70-73). Ironically, an act that comprises sitting on the couch assists people to conceive on their feet. In my view video games give a great fun and social form of amusement. These games support and promote collaborative and teamwork.
After playing these video games, children feel comfortable with latest technology. Video games also enhance the self-esteem and selfconfidence of children as they master games.

In the modern researchers’ studies and experiments, it has been confirmed that technical and productive games enhance the logical area of mind or brain with the enhancement in the creativity. There are lots of games which have dreflexes and observations. Moreover, in the era of advance networking, there are a lots of video
games which are increasing social networking of youngsters through playing a single games
online. These online games increasing the team sprit therefore, it is not wrong to say that these team sprit enhancement video games can play a significant role in the professional or future life of their players.
Another facet of these video games that many people think is its bad consequences that
they bring to children. The major effect is the aggression and violence they hold. Many people also says that kids and adults who play more aggressive video games are more probable to have heightened their aggressive and hard line notions, attitudes and behaviors (Goldstein, 2005, 147- 152). People think that playing these games too much makes children detached from their family, friends, and community, as well as neglected their educations. Moreover, children can learn vulgar language and manners from other kids at the time of playing with them. I chose this topic because I think many people think that video games are so bad, and it develops the violent behaviors in people mainly in children, but I want to convince these people that latest technologies in games enhance the mental ability in children.

Video games also increase the awareness and importance of of gaols. In integrated
working goals should be specific and in integrated working work should be assigned to different members according to their capability. In integrated working different members have different strengths which they bring to gather while performing a group task(s).
Integrated working improves communication; it is not merely regarding exchanging
information- it is about desires, hopes, feelings and ideas, we determine this when we
communicate with individuals we respect and trust.

The mental effects of these video games are no above than that of going to watch a film or eating a chocolate. It is always said that that they are contaminating the growing youth; with proper directions and well strength of mind there is no matter with playing 30 minutes some video games. However, it has also been shown that the extra time gamers spend enjoying these games can be employed for more constructive, creative, and productive tasks.
           
            In conclusion, there are pros and cons in playing video games. We must know how to differentiate it clearly by ourselves so that we will go the positive path in video games and not the negative part of it.

Playing Video Games by Loh Wei Shan

                The good and bad effects of children playing video games always a hot topic discussed by people. Some children turn into bad habits with their homework because most of their time occupied by playing video games. That’s why most of the parent not allows their kids play with video games.  In my point of view, I disagree with children plays video games.
                Let’s talk about the bad effect of playing video games. A 2001 study found that exposure to violent video games correlates with at least a temporary increase in aggression and a decrease in prosocial behavior. This is a serious problem brought by video games. Former military psychologist and moral reformer David Grossman argues that because the military uses games in training, the generation of young people who play such games are similarly being brutalized and conditioned to be aggressive in their everyday social interactions. Children who are still not enough mature cannot differentiate good and bad. If they waste most of their time in playing video games, they are affected by the content in video games easily.  Besides, children are tend to become insensitive and cold towards other people.
                Furthermore, playing video games surely affect the academic result of the children, as the pay more effort in playing video games rather than studying.  Study is one of the responsibilities of a child, they should study hard to have a bright future. Play with video games does not bring any benefits to their career in the future. Gaming can be very addictive and just leave a little time for them in learning. Thus, playing video games are not meaningful at all.
                Moreover, another consequence brought by playing video games is the negative health effect. Children who addicted with video games always stay in the their room or cyber café, instead of going for exercise or other outdoor activities. This may cause obesity as they just sit in front of the computer and does not do any physical activity. Not only obesity, those who play video games for a long period may suffer an eye problem as they use too much time to stare at the screen of computer. In a study conducted in 2011 in Karachi, Pakistan, an experienced gamers have lower heart rates compared to others.
                Although there are a lot of consequences of playing video games, there are some potential pros by video games. Video games can test a child’s brain. A lot of games need good solving problem abilities to successfully complete a game. Sometimes, this kind of skill cannot learnt from real life of a child or even in school. This might help in their life in the future.
                In the nutshell, it is not necessary to stop children from playing video games but it is needed to control by parents. Use a little time in playing video games might bring some benefits to children, but not addictive in playing video games.

Playing Video Games: Good or Bad??

Playing Video Games: Good or Bad??

Children playing video games is either good or bad is still a question with arguments. A video game is an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. Although some of the people especially teenagers think that playing video games is beneficial, I think that video games brings a lot disadvantage.
First of all,video games will led to an epidemic of youth violence.According to crime statistics, the rate of juvenile violent crime is at a 30-year low. Researchers find that people serving time for violent crimes typically consume less media before committing their crimes than the average person in the general population.  The moral panic over violent video games is doubly harmful. It has led adult authorities to be more suspicious and hostile to many kids who already feel cut off from the system. It also misdirects energy away from eliminating the actual causes of youth violence and allows problems to continue to fester.
Next, video games may lead to aggressive behavior.  While playing violent video games leads to violent actions, there are also biological influences that impact a person's choices. According to Sean P. Neubert of Rochester Institute of Technology, a person who is biologically predisposed to aggression will be more strongly influenced by violent scenes and thus will have a greater risk for carrying out destructive actions. They will become frustrated easily and impatient when they can’t complete the task required in the game after a few trials.
Then, video games will also bring to addiction. Video game addiction is excessive or compulsive use of computer and video games that interferes with daily life. Instances have been reported in which users play compulsively, isolating themselves from family and friends or from other forms of social contact, and focus almost entirely on in-game achievements rather than broader life events. They will also forget about their daily routines, such as bathing and eating due to too much focus on the video games.
However, there is also a good side of the video games. Through playing video games, you can learn to be more socialized. Some video games which are massively multiplayer online role playing game requires teams to complete a task. From that, players will befriend the other players so that they can easily form a team. Besides, in there is a chat box in the game too. All the players will have chances to interact to each other.
In a nut shell, I strongly think that playing video games is non-beneficial to us. We can play video games for entertaining ourselves, but not to be addicted to it and be influenced by negative issues such as violence.

Playing Video Games: Good or Bad

Playing Video Games: Good or Bad

           First of all, video games can be addictive, Addiction is defined as "The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something."† Anyone who has really been into video games has experienced this. Kids and adults alike think about getting home and playing games. They also spend a great deal of time reading gaming magazines, participating in online gaming forums, looking for future game releases, and of course, spending countless hours playing games. When they aren't doing any of these things, they're wishing they were.
Besides , video games are very expensive, It cost a lot of money to stay current with the latest video games and hardware (console and/or computer). Many gamers spend all of their money on gaming. For example, it's not uncommon for a gamer to have 50-100 games that cost $40-$50 each. They also often have at least 2 different game consoles and 1 high-end PC. This can easily add up to thousands of dollars a year to maintain a typical gamer's habits.
There's often a direct correlation with the amount of time spent playing video games, and the amount of time spent engaging in a quality relationship. In the most extreme example I could find, there was a couple that was so consumed with playing video games that they ended up neglecting their 3 children — to the point that they were malnourished, naked, and covered in their own feces. Although that's an extreme case, I still think there's something to be said about people who spend the majority of their free time playing video games. My guess is that they're probably not dating or pursuing a meaningful relationship in their free time.
Video games can be distracting too, Avid gamers are similar to people who smoke a lot of marijuana — in that they don't get much done. Reading a good book, taking care of bills, writing an article, inventing something, mowing the lawn, etc... are simply not a priority when it comes to getting to the next level or finishing a game. Many gamers have things they would like to do in life, but they never get around to it, because they spend so much of their time playing games. Then, when they do have time to work on one of their projects, they're too tired to do it, because they stayed up till 3am playing a game.
Finally, video games can rob you of real life. Instead of taking a trip, mountain biking, or hanging out with friends at a cafe, gamer's spend their time in a virtual reality. Whereas real life experiences bear long lasting friendships and memories, videos games do not. The only pictures that come from video games are screenshots, and the memories that are created from playing those games are ultimately meaningless. Living means interacting, growing, learning, teaching, and loving — none of which can be accomplished in the virtual wasteland of video games. In other words, the advantages of playing game is more than the advantages…

 Playing Video Games: Good or Bad?
        From the Oxford dictionary, video games is a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor or other display. Video games are fast becoming one of the most popular media choice among children and young adults. As with many new media enjoyed by youth, but relatively unused by elders, myriad responses may be witnessed, ranging from curiosity and wonder to fear and concern Video games have come a long way since today's adults sat down at a computer to play Pong or Donkey Kong. The newest-generation gaming consoles are as powerful as personal computers, and can accomplish many of the same things. And today's games are increasingly
 realistic and technologically advanced.   
        Video games can also have some very important effects on family relationships, and deserve to be thought of as something that can – and should – be played together. Games with broad appeal that are easy to grasp can additionally help many families play together, and better bridge the gap between generations. Consider a title like hip-wiggling simulation Just Dance, which can have young kids dancing alongside their grandparents.
           Besides that, future career choices for today’s tots will no doubt be influenced by technology in a way that is difficult for many parents to imagine too. Skills learned and honed playing home console and video games, as well as mobile gaming apps, will undoubtedly be very valuable to students in the workforce of 2025. Games are increasingly being used to educate and instruct workers around the globe by governments, trade bodies and the world’s largest corporations as well. In fact, a recent study by the Entertainment Software Association found that 70 percent of major domestic employers have utilized interactive software and games for training purposes, and nearly eight out of 10 plan on doing so by 2013.
            Additionally, playing video also help in building confidence. Even games that aren’t specifically designed to do so can still help kids feel a sense of achievement, based simply on the basic principles involved in what makes a good game. Through puzzles, exploration and discovery, players learn to succeed in ways that some researchers say our brains actually prefer. Most games are designed to introduce a concept, such as jumping, and then provide players with an opportunity to master it. Players are then free to explore and utilize and achieve success with this new skill, growing in self-confidence all the while.
              Every statement will also have its cons. I think that there will bring harm more than benefits if you are staying up all night and not sleeping. It could hurt your health and even your lack of sleep.Most of the disadvantages about video games are hurtful for your health. Video games can cause seizures, sometimes failing of vision, or less thought processing. Most video games can cause people to become obesity from not exercising often. The only reason you would become obese because some people eat junk food and drink soda while playing video games. When you do eat unhealthy and play video games non stop can cause you to become more obese from not exercising enough. I think video games can mainly hurt your health.
             In conclusion, as long as the parents check the games their children are playing for content and time, video games should be embraced as something that will enrich their children's lives, not consume it.

Video Games

       Have you come across with the world famous video games like counter strike, sudden attack? I bet everyone of you do, even a man who has already become a father is still playing these games to relax himself from stress. Teenagers find that playing video games is more effective than taking part in sports event to relief stress. However, teenagers misuse the benefits of video games and become addicted to it, eventually bringing disaster to them.
      One of the disadvantages is health problems which lead to death. They do not realise how long they spend time on the computer, playing days and nights without any rest and until they do not have enough time for sleep. It is important that teenagers and young adults have an adequate rest after long hours of working in school or office. Besides that, while they are over concentrating on playing computer games, they neglect their diets and finally black out. This causes their parents to worry. Long hours of gaming without any water intake can slow down the functions of the body systems and cells are slowly dehydrated due to evaporation from the skin and can bring to death.
      Playing too much video games can also slow down teenagers studies. This is probably because they do not arrange their leisure time well to complete every work they have. However, this is not only happen in teenagers but workers too, they start sitting infront of the computer access to Internet after their working hours and continue to their games. Some of the teenagers do not have a computer, so they are willing to go to the Internet's cafe and spend time but also do not want to do their homework. This same goes to the young adults.
        Too much games are bad but no one can live under stressful condition. Video games are one of the advance technologies which are able to help us to relax. On the other hand, video games are used most of the time to past time or I should say it is used to fill your leisure time. Spending few hours on the computer can also temporary cut down teenagers worries so that they will not stress out in that time for awhile. It is quite good for teenagers who are having for exam stress and worries.
       Ohter than that, playing video games are able to train their intelligence, reflexes, coordination of the brain and fingers. Many parents seems to agree with that too. Nowadays, most of the kids have their own ipad, tab and even smartphones. Certain games such as puzzles can help to increase kid's imagination and any games that involve calculation will improve their intelligence.
      In conclusion, it is all down to how we treat vidoe games. If it is used wisely, it will definitely bring benefits to us.

Pros and Cons of Playing Video Games

Playing Video Games: Good or Bad?

               In this new age, many people are explored to sophisticated things like 3G handphones, laptops and Global Positioning System (GPS). Similarly, playing video games is a quite common activity among people nowadays. However, there are some people who misuse the form of this entertainment. Consequently, people especially students will have their academic performance deteriorated. So, I will stand for my points that playing video games is bad for anyone.
               Nowadays, a large number of children and teens are playing increasingly violent games. Normally, most youth can recognise the difference between reality and fantasy, so they see the games as pointless entertainment. Nevertheless, some get immersed in the violence, which may lead them to a cold-hearted view of other people. It may make them prone to aggressive thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Therefore, they will probably make social problems like kidnap, rape and robbery. So, their potential future of becoming successful people will be vanished at once.
               Apart from this, time spent on video games is likely to affect one’s academics. Clearly, too much time on any video entertainment takes away from time spent on school work. It is because a video gamer is mostly unable to control his addiction to the usual game he plays. Once he gets immersed in it, he will definitely forget the time for his rest, recreational activities and homework. Consequently, the results of his academics will become very ‘ugly’. Therefore, playing video games has more cons than pros.
               Besides this, in the research, almost 60 percent of frequent video gamers play with friends. 33% of them play with siblings and 25 percent play with spouses or parents. There are also games specially designed for a single player. However, most people are single players. Therefore, they have sparingly social interactions with the society. In other words, they can be socially isolated. It is bad for anyone.
               Nevertheless, researchers from McGill University’s Department of Psychology have created and tested computer games that are specifically designed to help people enhance their self-acceptance. Some games that aren’t specifically designed to do so can still help kids feel a sense of achievement, based simply on the basic principles involved in what makes a good game. Through discovery, players learn to succeed in ways that some researchers say our brains actually prefer. Most games are designed to introduce a concept, after that players will have an opportunity to master it. Players are free to explore and utilise and achieve success with this new skill, growing in self-confidence all the while.

               In a nutshell, playing video games has more disadvantages than advantages. It can be dangerous if some people misuse the form of entertainment.

Playing video games: Good or Bad?

Playing video games: Good or Bad?

Nowadays, video games have become common things in life especially for teenagers. It is a form of entertainment. But everything in the would consist of both elements, pros and cons. It all depends on how you look at it. With this, a lot of people belief that video games give more disadvantages than advantages. This has been proof by experiment.

First and foremost, video games can be addictives to the player. Recent research has found that any addictive behavior can harm the final stage of brain development in young adult. In addition, the player would neglect their study or work if they overspent their time on playing video games. As result, their performance will get worse. So, playing video games can be a con if one misused it.

Next, playing video games for a long time will affect our health. Sitting on the chair and eyeing on the screen for a long period will cause a lot of problems to our body for examples headache, eyestrain, syndrome pain and numbness that u may feel in your hands, shoulders and elbows. Some of the player even skips their meals for playing games. Sitting with a same post for a long period will also affect our bone’s structure. As a result, playing video games without control will brings bad effect to our health.

Last but not least, video games do have ratings to indicate when they have violence, strong language, mature sexual themes, and other content that may be inappropriate for child. These things can affect the building of character of a child. Research has found that if a child has played a lot of violent video games, he or she will become violent. This is why some of the soldiers’ training indicates playing video games.

On the other hand, we cannot deny that video games give benefit. Playing video games can improve one hand-eye coordination and visual skills. The gamer will particularly good at spotting details in busy, confusing scenes and cope with more distractions than average. This will help the player to solve their problem in life with perfect skills.

In conclusion, video games bring disadvantages more than advantage. Reduce your time in playing video games will improve your work performance, health, and build up a health character.

Playing Video Games: Good or Bad ?



          There are some disadvantages about video games. Even though there are advantages, there are always disadvantages about video games. Video games are entertaining, fascinating, enjoyable, and fun there are some consequences about video games. I think video games, soda, and junk food is bad for your health. Another disadvantage I think is not good for you are staying up all night and not sleeping could hurt your health and even your lack of sleep.                      Most of the disadvantages about video games are hurtful for your health. Video games can cause seizures, sometimes failing of vision, or less thought processing. Most video games can cause people to become obesity from not exercising often. The only reason you would become obese because some people eat junk food and drink soda while playing video games. When you do eat unhealthy and play video games non stop can cause you to become more obese from not exercising enough. I think video games can mainly hurt your health.

Want To Be Smarter? Play Video Games


                Want To Be Smarter? Play Video Games
            
               Gaming both video and computer has become more than a fad, it is a part of life. First generation video game players have now become adult and carry their passion to adulthood. Parents and teachers worry about games having negative effects on children and a great deal has been written about games leading to violent behaviour and addiction. However, all is not negative about gaming; studies by leading researchers have shown that video and computer games have many benefits.
               
               Video games and computer games are known to improve hand-eye co-ordination. A player has to watch on screen while simultaneously operating the joystick of the device in his or her hand to make moves. This requires the player to be alert and well-coordinated. Moreover, he or she can see his actions taking effect immediately, thus getting a first-hand experience of his/her actions taking effect. For example, First person shooters especially account to this. Paying attention to enemies in cover, keeping your eye on the target, can translate into many real life situations. These games also can lead to an overall increase in concentration. Researchers have found that surgeons who have played video games in their life have a better time using their hands while working on patients.
              
               Children can benefit from video games. Children with an inferiority complex, lack of self-confidence are seen to be gaining help from playing video games. Video games have also been included in the therapy for children with such psychological problems. In playing video games, a child gets a sense of participation, a sense of achievement, thus building his or her self-confidence. Children, after playing video games begin to feel excited about their lives, they start feeling positive and enthusiastic. This enables them to defeat their psychological disorders to a certain extent. A lonely child can acquire social presence after becoming a fan of video games!
               
               Lastly, video games have been known as a healthy outlet of aggression, or as an overall stress relief, despite their reputation stating otherwise. Much like books or movies, video games allow a sort of “escape”. Playing games has been a help to many in stressful and traumatic situations. Critics have to keep in mind that those who scapegoat video games as a cause of aggression, most likely have had additional concerns that needed to be taken into account. The gaming universe can certainly account for hours of stress relief, escape from personal issues, and years of fun times. So while the media chooses to force a condemning image upon video games, one must remember to take into account, the other end of the spectrum, which in fact has many helpful benefits to those willing to open their mind to the greater picture.
              
                However, there is a common negative effect on playing video games. Spending an increasing amount of time on video games can significantly reduce physical activity in children and teenagers, thereby increasing the risk of obesity among them. Besides obesity, other health related issues associated with playing video games include video-induced seizures, muscular and skeletal disorders and nerve compression.
            
                 In conclusion, it’s time we begin looking at video games in the right perspective. It is important that we realize their positive effects. We need to become aware of how can video games have a positive impact on a child's development. So next time you plan to get a video game for your child also plan to try your hands on it!
