    You know, this reminds me of a scene from Malcolm in The Middle, where he and one of his brothers were playing Mortal Kombat and they were being nice and polite to each other. Then their mom came, took the game away yelling that these games will make them violent. About ten seconds after she took the game away they started beating the shit out of each other.

    You know, I saw The Lion King when I was seven years old. and I never once threw my brother off a cliff and then tried to frame his son for it. I didn't even try. This coming from a society that used to broadly enslave other human beings. One that did and does still go to battle over political and religious differences. Kittens fight - sometimes too aggressively - and so do kids. Violence is part of life, and in kids, it is unfortunately part of the process of learning who you are. It's not an accident that violence is in almost every story ever told in every single medium. Even sports are just a dumbed down version of battle. Just look at football which is practically a reenactment of war proceeding the turn of the 20th century. What we are seeing is a rise in mental illness among other things. We need to look at why that is, and not just say "because video games" which is just simply another way of showing the same story we've been telling since we became human. I'm probably wrong on many counts, but at least I'm trying to break it down. And no, we should not just accept violence. Video games, if anything, are a means to blow of steam that could otherwise become physically violent behavior. And sometimes that doesn't work and monitors go to the great Best Buy in the sky.

      Violence is encoded into our DNA. Humans have ALWAYS fought since the beginning of time no matter HOW you look at history. In every religious text going back to the beginning there's violence. In evolution there's survival of the fittest. So why are people trying to blame video games, music, movies and tv???? Humans fight from a young age and we are SUPPOSED to be taught by grown ups how to properly behave. But most of the times you'll have everyone playing the blame game and nothing really changes. To be honest the violence today is rather tame compared to our past when entire towns, villages and cities would get wiped out for reasons that we find completely stupid today but were incredibly important back then.

      Very much so. From my experience it usually starts with disconnected parents who've never played a video game in their life to know what they're talking about. They get outraged about some tragic and violent act and blame video games and then some person in the political sphere steps in and see's it as an opportunity to gather support. Rally's people, works people up even more and pushes the agenda hard that its video games but is really only after their own political position. Then nothing ever comes of it, things die down, until the next tragic event where the process repeats.

  • @elise205
    @elise205 5 років тому +4

    There's two main issues we need to address as first world nations.
    One -
    We need to hold our governments, teachers, and parents accountable for the violence in children. You let a child get bullied then act suprised when they snap and lash out either with a knife or guns? You've failed as a teacher. You act suprised that your child managed to get knives and guns? You've failed as a parent. You don't put down any legislation to protect these children from the incompetent teachers and parents? You've failed as a government. Don't blame video games for your incompetent behaviour.
    Two -
    Yes, video games CAN cause psychological changes in the brain, and while most are positive, some are negative. Parents must be the ones that handle this. Don't give your children games they aren't ready for. A 7-year-old shouldn't play GTA, so do your research before you buy the game. Teach your children how to react to these stimuli correctly, and teach them the difference between fact and fiction. The best way to protect children from the very few negative effects of video games is to set aside time (at least three hours) for you and your child to play the game together, even if you just sit and watch. Then discuss what's going on in the game. But pay attention to the game, help your child with the difficult puzzles, but still allow them to get to the solution on their own. This method results in a deeper understanding of your child, and your child will be less likely to lash out. Trust me, it works and you will become great friends with your child, and they will be less likely to misbehave and ignore you.

    I agree that video games can contribute to violent behaviour it's the parents and teachers job to teach the kids what's right and wrong before they get to influenced so yeah giving your 4 year old call of duty probably wont help. it's the parents job to say "No timmy you can't have that game until your old enough and know the difference between right and wrong". however i do also believe it's not just video games, look at TV shows and movies, games, behaviour of other children, behaviour of parents, genes etc....

    I play games as a comfort and calming outlet for when my negative emotions start to run really high and helps pick me up when I have a bad day. It gives me a simple thing for me to do while I get to be alone with my thoughts and just meditate and think. Really helped when I was grieving my mom or just had a bad day.

    as a 33 yr old i find that blowing off steam in video games is a good way to keep from punching my neighbors when they piss me off. games do not make us violent. they let us be violent in a safe area with no risk to others. people these days gotta stop blaming games and just grow the fuck up and admit that they are the problem.

    I mean, after the first 3-hour GTAV driving session, I got in my car and felt a little bit of adrenaline, but it was still quite easy to contain myself. It goes back to the immersion thing. Discerning between reality and video games is just way too easy

    People are dum! (Yes, I spelled it like that on purpose.) Thank you for doing this video, it's so frustrating when people, especially politicians (though we should be use to it) don't know what they're talking about but are featured on the news and in print. What's next? Rock N Roll is the Devil's music?!?!

    My wife is a teacher. I agree with the logic that it's expected behavior for kids to hit and whatnot, but the argument you present about teachers complaining about it to get out of it is 99% not the case. Teachers are so restricted now from handling situations like that. Can't touch the kids, can't yell at the kids and hurt their feelings, can't time them out cuz feelings. Administration is terrible at backing up teachers, and tend to favor parents in almost all situations nowadays. Any time situations like this arise teachers fear for their jobs because literally anything can happen because they're not allowed to take control of the situation. 1 adult to 35 kids is no way to operate.
