Video Games

In todays society video games are very important they play a big part in both political, economical, and social. Video games have been a great passage time., they are very entertaining and can offer a virtual reality. There are may different arguments facing whether they are positive or negative. However I feel that video games does have pros and cons. A few cos f video games may be, o being the simple fact that they are fun and are a great entertainment pass time, its a good social activity whether its in person or virtual, or can help with education. On the other hand some cons can be one they can be addictive, video games are nit a substitute to physical activity, and exposure to violence. Growing up I enjoyed playing games like The Sims, Grand Theft Auto or sonic, to me these games were very fun to me and I enjoyed them. The Sims was more of a virtual reality which help me be in control of my own person. Grand Theft Auto was very fun to me based off the fact that I had free will in a virtual world to basically do anything I want it was a very violent game. Sonic was more of an action game which involved very minimum violence to me. In Chapter 15 of the textbook video game violence is brought up in a very serious manner by the legislation to were their have been an investigation of video game violence and kids being exposed to it leading to criminal activity. Personally I feel that there can be some very explicit content that should not be viewable to kids and can agree with the legislation that there should be reevaluation of the content on video games. With this being said I feel that video games are here to stay and can only advance right along with other communication technology.
