Games have positive effect not only on children but also on adults. Sometimes violent computer games make people aggressive and commit some illegal affairs. However, games are not a petty or frivolous thing even to adults.
First, adults can get along with others and relieve stress as children do so. When using the word, ‘game,’ we use ‘play’ as a verb. ‘Playing’ is the human natural behavior and all of us naturally learn how to play by ourselves. By playing games, people form social relationship with friends, teachers, and their families. It is not merely example for children. Especially, when adults get stressed out from their working places or relationships with others, they can relieve stress by playing games such as basketball or baseball games. In my case, I usually play computer games with my friends when I get stressed out from study. It makes me forget some bad things temporarily and gives a chance to get along with my friends.
Secondly, adults can feel a sense of achievement when they win the game. Most games have the competitive characteristic. Games have certain rules, and players should follow and obey these rules in order to win the game. From the start of a game, people begin the game with the same condition. However, when proceeding the game, they meet difficulties and they may have competitive spirit to defeat someone else. Under fair rules, people lies on the competition in good faith. This good competitive spirit has a positive effect on their life and outside of the game as well. In the end of the game, we can feel joyful emotions and it stimulates our motivation more synergetic when we win others or get a higher score in a game.
In conclusion, the positive effects of games are not limited only to children. Adults should have some free time when they get stressed out. Playing games can be a prescription for today’s lethargic adults.
