There are many games in our society and many people claim that games are useless and harmful to people, because they cause a variety of problems. However, in my opinion games have benefits which can help people to develop the ability of making a plan, and they can also help children learn rules in our society.
First of all, games teach us the ability to develop a strategy. People cannot live without planning because they would never know what will happen in the future. So people have to prepare the future by developing a strategy. To do this, people should learn what will happen if they behave in a certain way, and make a plan to achieve a goal. Games teach us the ability to make a plan. For example, in a chess game, players should be prudent when they make a decision, because one mere mistake can bring serious problems which can lead to lose. Consequently, the player need to predict the next step before acting and make a strategy to win the game. This predicting and planning can be applied in real life. In a negatiation, one can predict the next claim of other and prepare for proper reacting.
On top of that, games are one of good ways to teach children rules. In our society, there are many rules which people should follow and children need to learn those. They do not know the importance of rules yet because they are still young. Their parents and teacher can teach rules and their importance by words, but this is not enough because its impact is weak and its way is boring to children. One way to teach them rules is games. For instance, children love to play games and they are eager to achieve their goal in a game. By playing games, children get to know they should behave in a certain way when playing games, because they cannot achieve their goal by not following the rule. They also can learn what the result will be if they violent the rule because they will be receive a penalty for their violenting. In this way, children can the importance of rules naturally.
In conclusion, there are several advantages in games. First one is that people can raise their ability to make a strategy in life because games require that ability. Secondly, children can learn rules easily because they love to play games. In this regard, I firmly believe that games teach us valuable lessons to people.
