New Study Shatters Stereotypes About Teens and Video Games |
In this news story it stereotypes kids and teens playing video games all the time. The stereotype is that all gaming is solitary, violent and anti-social activity. But in this article it proves the stereotype wrong. In this article it says that most teens usually play video games with family or friends over the internet or with them. Or they play the video games in front of the family or friends. In this article it also tells how some games are educational and can help kids think about real life situation. Such as how to finance money. It also tells how teens go online to get information about current events, learn how to try to persuade others how to vote in an election nand how to raise money for charity. Te person in charge of doing the survey encouraged parents and teachers check into how diverse and the variety of the video games that are being played.
I personally don't think that all teens play video games all the time. Like me for example, I only play video games in my spare time. Which is very little time at all. I try to fit it in with my school work, work and sports, so I have very little time for games. I personally don't think that all games are solitary, violent and/or anti-social. The games that I play make you think and help learn how to finance your money. The only games I play are sports or racing games so I don't see how that is violent. Also, when I play, I play with a sibling, friend or some one online. So I don't think the facts are very accurate.
I don't really agree with this survey that was done. There are some things though that I do agree with or somewhat agree with. Like that all American teens play computer, console or cell phone games. That is only somewhat true. Not all American teens play them but a lot do. I don't agree with the quote, "that all gaming is solitary, violent or anti-social" that is definitely not true. I also don't believe that all the statistics are right. I also agree that there are some games out there that help you to better understand how to do things in the real world or how to better your skills. In a lot of games it teaches you how to manage your money right which will greatly benefit you in the real world. I think that video games are definitely a good thing and not a bad thing. They teach you key skills that can be applied in the real world.

I really agree with your blog here Rhett everyone always makes that stereotype towards us, and all violence leads towards video games when really it doesn't. - Brydan Zbytovsky
ReplyDeletePoeple need to be responsible for their own actions and not blame things like video games. There are very substantial differences between really life and RPG. No one who has seen really violnce would make the comparison between games and life, the connection is simply not there
