Do some video games encourage violence?; One former soldier thinks that this type of entertainment is teaching kids to kill

This article talks about David Grossman's(former psychology professor at the US military academy) ideas about video games. Describing violent video games as murder simulators rather then actual games, pointing out in his book various different school shootings that involved violent video games. In this article it basically states that today's life for younger children is getting far more violent and people are still wondering why. The article itself however (not Grossman) does state that many people who watch violent movies and play violent games will never take part in any violent acts.

    According to me video games are good for child. it's not an addiction of video game. If your child playing a video game 4 to 5 hours then it's a violence. And always playing video game like board game.

    I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

    Yes some games do encourage violence. I do suggest all the parents and guardians to carefully select and monitor the games that their children play.

    Este artículo habla de (el ex profesor de psicología en la academia militar de Estados Unidos) de David Grossman ideas sobre videojuegos. Describiendo los videojuegos violentos como los simuladores de asesinato en lugar de los juegos actuales, señalando en su libro varias diferentes tiroteos en las escuelas que participan los videojuegos violentos. En este artículo, básicamente, establece que la vida de hoy en día para los niños más pequeños es cada vez más violenta y la gente todavía se pregunta por qué. El artículo (no Grossman) en sí, sin embargo sí declara que muchas personas que ven las películas violentas y juegan juegos violentos no van a participar en actos violentos.
