▶ Your Answer :
Many parents dislike what their children play games because parents think that playing game has a tremendous negative impact on their children. However, I strongly agree with the statement that playing games teaches us about our lives. There are two reasons why I believe playing games teaches us about life: Games teaches children about competing and cooperating with other gamers.
First of all, I believe that playing games is a method of education by teaching us how to compete with others. We all live in the cruel and competitive societies. In school, we have learned how to compete with others, which means that competing is very important in our lives. If people play games, they can learn how to compete with other gamers. For example, when we are playing computer games, we recognize how do I play and choose something to win other competitors. In the situation, all the process of choosing some tactics and thinking how to win the game is very helpful for us. I strongly believe that this also applies to our lives. Therefore, playing games is a way to study about our lives.
Furthermore, to play game teaches us how to cooperate as well as how to compete. In our lives, cooperation is very important as competition. We have learned that we have to be cooperative, especially when we are in some groups and playing sports. Team playing and party playing has a central role in enjoying games. For Instance, when we play a role-playing computer game, we sometimes hunt with party players. Team players have to be faithful on their own role. If someone act like that their behavior is not important, the party will be broken when they meet powerful monsters in battlefield. I believe that this is same to our lives. If there is one player who consider their own role as cumbersome thing, the team will be hard to win the sports. Therefore, We can learn how to cooperate with other people from playing games.
Of course, some people think that playing games is a just time-consuming. However, I assert that playing game can teach us interesting and essential factors in our lives: how to compete and how to cooperate with others. |
