How violence spoilt your child

Here is a template to upload driving forces.

Description:

Nowadays childeren show more aggresive behavior. Where they were used to play with each other nice games like hide-and-seek, they are now used to kick and hit each other. Many reasons are given over the years. The T.V was thought to be the media which transfered the violence shown on it to the mind of the childeren. This caused them to think that violence is normal. But video games has replaced the T.V as the media transfering violence. Video games make it possible to experience violent events better than the T.V. For example, video games teach childeren how to shoot at people very precisely.

Experts:

Many psychologists wrote books about violence caused by media. Famous ones among them are:

• Dave Grossman: former psychologist of the army who argues that video games can turn kids into "killers". He wrote the books: "On Killing. The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society" and "Stop Teaching our Kids to Kill"
• W. James Potter: professor at the University of California who argues that the media use violence explicitly without judging the consequences. He wrote the book: "The 11 Myths of Media Violence".
