First of all, video games could divert kids perspectives about the world in a repugnant way. For example, a role-playing game like Killer. It plays when squads have assign the “PIE-CHART DEATH” . And the one who has killed all the hit lists in the chart wins. In the text of “ High Jinks: Shoot-out” by Guy Martin, one of the player, Willis Cohen, has been killed by his own friends. Martin describes this event like, “ Cohen was finally killed through no fault of his own. He woke up and, as usual, hoped a neighbor’s fence and exited through a neighbour’s house.” This indicates that he doesn’t really expect it at all that he was going to get killed and obviously not by his own hand of his friend. Therefore, in this game basically it actually promotes people not to trust anybody except yourself. While this somehow sounds logical, however, where is the value of friendship gone? Friends are supposed to be people that you could go and rely on.We could not just live by our own, could we? If we want someone to trust us, we have to trust them back. It changes the world from bright and hopeful to a dark place with full of monsters that you should look for. It is kind of the idea of a psychopath, who always care about themselves and nothing else around them.
These games destroy all of this perspectives and lead alone the dark impression that could affect kids in their real life on trust of friend.
While some people might interpret Killer that it could help teach the kids to problem-solving, you might be right. However, I would like to add on to that, it actually teaches children to choose violence to help solving their problems instead of just talking. Killer, could give a higher pressure on the kids heads and lessons on real life-savage. to dto every part of it, was kind of dark, scary, and full of vicious. There are only two choices in this game, you kill others and and your life goes on. If you don’t, someone would kill you. That aspect would definitely reflects on the kids mindset. Next time, problems come, their solution will be choosing violence instead of just words. WHY? Because of the aspect: “ If I don’t kill you, you would kill me.”
The last point is that it gives a person mentally- killing satisfying. The more they kill someone, the more chances that they could win. It is well known that rewarding behavior increases its frequency. Ask yourself, wouldn’t you want to organise your stuffs again if your teacher admires you?
A visual example in this text it says that, “ When the Lowther team won, with twenty-one kills. They celebrated with a spaghetti dinner.” This proves that they are very satisfying for what they’ve done, which that could have an effect in real life. Kids couldn’t understand separately between in games and in real-life. They would get another sense of killing and death is a kind of game instead of a real serious problems.
With these three solid reasons, dear parents, your child is in your hand, you are the one who would make the decision for your child. I would strongly recommend you not to let them play all of these games. With only just problems giving out, there’s not exactly any advantages moving in. Therefore, you should make the right from now on, your kids are like white paper, if you put bad colours in their minds, it is hard to wash them all up again. Isn’t it just risky to risk your child’s mind? Remember that protection is much better than treatment.
