Together with the improvements in society, it is evident that various game contents have developed. Lots of people begin to relieve stress and enjoy their life with computer games. Thus, nowadays, there is an on-going issue whether playing computer games is a waste of time and should not be allowed to children. While it is undeniable that both sides have valid reasons, my stance is in line with the perspective that it should be banned to play computer game to children. My rationale is founded upon the following reasons; first, computer games are highly addictive to children. Second, computer games are too violent to children. First and foremost, computer games are significantly addictive to children. In other words, young children do not have ability to manage time themselves. They cannot control themselves when to stop the game and start to do homework. Also, Computer games are consisting of fascinating tutorial, sound effect, and colorful illustrate. These contents may catch children’s’ eyes and make them to be addicted to computer games. The big problem is that children do not focus to their study because of the computer game’s distraction. Drawing from my cousin’s example, he is currently 10 years old. These days, he is into play the game overwatch. To play the game, he always forgot to finish homework and get low grade on the school. Moreover, he cannot focus on the books because he adjusted to colorful, fast- changing screen of the computer game. This clearly shows that playing computer game will give bad influences to children. Another major consideration is that computer games are too violent to children. Practically, computer games are produced for adults. Thus, it may contain a scene of people fighting each other with weapons and even kill protagonist character in the game. Adults can distinguish the real world and the online world. Nevertheless, youngsters are tended to follow the exact behavior in the game in their daily life. For instance, in an elementary school in Korea, there was a cruel crime that elementary school children used violence to other children. With this incident, a large number of people shocked it was very cruel that they could not believe that the attackers were only 9,10 years old children. Later on, It was revealed that the attackers played computer games a lot and the criminal act was very similar to the computer game that they played again and again. This clearly depicts that it should be banned to play computer games to children. Therefore, I strongly believe that children should not play computer games, It should be not allowed to play the games because it is very addictive and violent. |
