▶ Your Answer : An intriguing topic of discussion at hand is whether Playing video games is a waste of time and should not be allowed. The answer to this question can vary greatly, depending on the individual perspectives. Thus, the jury may still be out, but as far as I am concerned, I agree with the statement. In this essay, I will present two reasons supporting my standpoint as follows. To begin with, video games make people violent. A study of National Research Center of Korea revealed that people who play video games everyday are tend to speak bad words and behave aggressively more than people who don't play games. The study also presented that when people who are addicted to games were constrained to play games, they felt so uncomfortable and annoyed that they couldn't endure the situation. In turn, they revealed violent reaction like fighting each other and screaming to the researchers. In this sense, people show violent action because of the games. On top of that, video games have no practical value. It means that there is no award to being good at video games. Let me take my friend as illustration. When my friend was in high school, he had been playing games all the time. Even during exam term he never stoped playing games. In the end, he always got terrible grades. One day he asked me for advice because he wants to go to university but his grades is too bad to enter the university where he wants. As a consequence, he failed to go to college due to his unsatisfying score. If he had not played video games, he could have studied hard and succeeded to go to university. In conclusion, I strongly argue for my standpoint on account of two reasons mentioned above. Once again, although the verdict may still be out, I personally believe that two of my rationales above are sufficiently convincing enough to represent the viewpoints of majority of people who are in favor of my claim. |
