Game violence is obviously a very hot topic. There is a lot of argument over how much exposure children and teens should have to these games. A lot of violent crimes committed by teens where violent video games have said to have a direct influence on the crime, showed that the person committing the crime had many other problems such as family, depression, and so on. For children with these types of problems I don’t think these games help. However, as I have mentioned before, I don’t think that they should be blamed solely for that child’s actions. One article that I read stated that, “One survey of 900 fourth through eighth graders found that almost half the children said their favorite electronic games involved violence (http://www.Findarticles.com, June 28, 1999). This goes to show that unfortunately violence sells and it is only going to make the video game market hotter. To combat this parents and legislators are going to have to place more concentration on implementing a new rating system and changing the advertising on T.V. To go directly after the game producers themselves, I feel is a waste of time. They know that violence sells their games, and they are not going to stop producing it. So more concentration has to be placed on reducing the amount of exposure that we allow children to have to these games.
