Video Games

Nowadays, there has been a rapid development in the market of electronic games, which have attracted an increasing number of people, especially young adults.

With the expansion of the market, electronic games have arisen lots of controversy.

Many parents see distinctly that video games let young people indulge in them and show declining grades. Apart from this, video games encourage adolescents to rebel. The need of buying games even leads to theft and robbery, causing kinds of violence and social problems. As a result, they think that electronic games should be banned.

Meanwhile, some scholars researching in this field think that the electronic games have been repeatedly criticized as the game player is often addicted to it, but accusing electronic games of causing social problems undoubtedly makes the issue too simple. In other words, video games are just means of entertainment, and whether to indulge in it or not depends on the player’s self-control ability.

As for theft and robbery, there is no basis for linking these to video games. In fact, it is better to say that young people’s rebellious behaviors come from the failed parent education rather than the game. Parents’ bad manners and principles of life affect teenagers’ growth. These teenagers are happy through upgrading the game because they can’t get happiness in reality, and what they get are the hits from their parents. After all, video games are external causes, and it is his family that actually determines the character of a child.

Although video games have been criticized for their potentially harmful effects, researchers have tried to help people live better through the various features of video games.

Electronic games are very attractive, not only addictive, but also converted into “vivid textbooks”. The attraction of video games allows children to eat more vegetables, and help old people keep their brains flexible, and even help to solve social problems such as poverty and climate change.

Besides, some reports indicate that some games can help children control their emotions. And some may promote thinking. This kind of problem-solving can gradually promote cognition and improve memory.

Additionally, most people think that playing too many video games can affect children’s eyesight. But a new study suggests that a kind of shooting game helps to improve people’s eyesight, especially the dynamic ability.

So how do you know what’s the right direction of developing video games?

In my opinion, it comes down to a key point that we should not to be biased towards video games but guide their development correctly. Only when there is no bias to play video games can we effectively monitor and develop video games and related industries. Only in this way will the game industry of China not be more deformed, and keep forward towards a healthy, responsible situation.

Hypothetically, we can predict that video games will continue to do well in the future. However, it should be stressed that people playing video games should behave in a responsible way and that a balance should be struck so that studies, work, and life are not adversely affected by overindulgence in games.
