▶ Your Answer :
Some people
contend that playing computer game is a waste of time, so it should not be
allowed. However, I do not support such argument. There are many reasons that
could espouse my position, but the two biggest reasons for my position will be
explained in the following. My first
argument for computer games should be espoused. This is because it can be
revitalizing, offering an effective outlet for releasing stress and tension. As
society becomes complex and faster-changing, people are increasingly tied up by
heavy workload. The result is frustration, as they feel pressure to handle tons
of work. Because it is exhilarating activity, however, it can help people
relieve their tension and stress. In this context, playing such games should be
permitted. My own case is good example of this. In my daily work, I am swamped
with lots of tasks. In addition, I have to face difficulties arising from the
complex relationships with my bosses and co-workers. By the end of each day, I
return home feeling drained and gloomy. I then play computer games and try to
relax. To my astonishment, even if it is only for a brief moment, I feel deeply
composed and successfully gain some distance stress-ridden daily routine. And I
also feel energized and ready for another day struggle with the hustle and
bustle of life. Moreover,
playing games is useful in that it encourages people to have stronger ties with
others around them. In today’s competitive society, people are under great
pressure to outpace others, and thus lack time to be with their family and
friends than they were in the past. By computer games together and sharing
their fun, however, they can sustain solid relationships with other people as
well as families. Therefore, the value of playing games should not be
overlooked. According to a recent survey in Health Magazine, nearly two third
of people felt that they could restore their bonds with family and friends
through fun activities, including playing games. They also argue that they
could exchange ideas and develop sympathetic bonds while playing together. This
increases emotional attachment and, by extension, social awareness. All in all,
because of the reasons mentioned above, I firmly believe that playing computer
games should not only be allowed, but encouraged.
