The graphics in video games is significantly increasing in quality. This is exposing children to violence that looks much more like real life. What effect does witnessing video game violence have on the youth? It has been proven that video game violence temporarily increases aggression, but I believe that it is enough to cause violent acts in a peaceful person.
Violent video games are one of many recreational activities that cause a temporary increase in aggressive behavior. ... Video gamers compete against the programs that video game programmers send at them. Video gamers try to win, to beat the game. Video games are highly competitive. ... Both violent video games and sports cause the same negative effect on a person’s aggression. People often blame violent video games for the aggressive behavior of youths, but nobody dares blame sports for the same thing. ... These adults grew up with sports, not video games, so they are likely to support the sports, the things they know, and blame video games, the things they don’t know.
Although researchers have found that playing violent video games does lead to a temporary increase in violent or aggressive behavior, much about the long-term effects of playing violent video games is unknown (Anderson and Dill).
