about Violence in game

all this talk about violence in game and gaming addiction reminded me about the article I used for essay in film and media studies 100 last year ( link: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16099971/ns/technology_and_science-games/t/does-game-violence-make-teens-aggressive/#.URWI6h1WySp ) As it can be seen in this article most people who think violent games have negative effect on children seems to think that their is a direct link between the imaginative violence and the actual violence. What is interesting about this article is that it tries to link the "possible" link between violent videogame and violent activity by looking at the fictions of a brain.

However, despite this article's claim about the link between violence and game, I think there are several problems with this article. The first problem is that the article focuses on the effect of the game that has to the children. There is nowhere in this article that says what older gamers would play. This links activity of gaming to activity of a child. Also this game dose not take the context of the game and it seems to suggest that violent games are all "mindless" violence  This sort of thinking seems to be prominent in every article that talks about the "dangers of violent videogames. when within the context of the playing videogame, it may not be violent as this article makes it up to be. " Also, it seems that it dose not take into account what Jeffory Goldstein had said about violent videogames" Play is a  voluntary self-directory activity an experience that probably cannot be captured in a laboratory experiment   it would seem likely that the experiment was captured in a laboratory situation. This meant like what Jeffory Goldstein had said it would not capture the actual situation as gamers only play game because they want to not because someone told them to.

As seen from above the way people approach the violence in games has quite a lot of mistakes. It would seems that people do not know how exactly games work inside people's mind.
