    Music, books, and board games became the target for the media to pin on ruining the moral fiber of youth. It creates a parallel to what video games are currently going through. It inspires a sympathetic emotion to the enjoyments of our past, that we see as harmless now. Just because it is influential to a younger demographic, doesn't mean that it will cause our moralities to become susceptible to dramatic changes. Christopher Ferguson provided a great argument toward the controversy behind violent video games and heightened aggressive behavior.

  • Case Of Susan Smith Of South Carolina By Andrea Yates

    867 Words  | 4 Pages

    I’m a strong believer that young children should be limited from engaging in violent video games. It’s scientifically proven that the portion of the brain that controls judgment is not fully developed until a person’s mid-20’s, leaving young children, and even teenagers, impressionable. Knowing this, why would a parent allow violent video games, such as Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, to fall into the hands of their children? They see and take part in virtual murders, crimes, and drug consumption and are easily brainwashed into thinking these behaviors are acceptable. At the very least, they are desensitized to the violent and illegal nature of these video games.

  • Discourse Community In Video Games

    So everyone knows what video game is, a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or other display screen. Do you not have many misconceptions about video games like “they are for kids, they do not require team work, they are all the same or nothing good ever comes out of video games” (The Crap Gamer,1). People have looked at video games that way for a long time, and no it’s not bad to look at them like that because anyone can misjudge anything by it’s cover. Should we be so judgment about it, no because games are part of our society and they just keep getting better better. But enough of being so pushy about video games, I would like to share a new view towards video games as a discourse community.

    In modern day society, which is ran on realism and stereotypes, gamers seem to be judged by many of their peers. Some of the people who judge the gaming community also happen to be in political power. While there are many of these stereotypes in the world today, a lot of them are not supported by facts or trends from society around them. Also, the studies behind the gaming effect on the mind do not include anything else in the surroundings of said gamer, that may affect their activities and thought process. To truly continue the contrast of stereotypes, the most prominent stereotypes must first be stated.

    Should we allow this art in our museums or in our schools? That is what authors Beisel, Dunkel, and Kristol are each discussing and sharing in their works. Although they may each come to different conclusions as to whether or not art should be censored, they each use facts, studies, and personal examples, to show ethos, pathos, and logos, to prove their argument. These discussions about free expression and censorship all come down to an assessment of the values that society finds most important.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Censorship Of Art

    1055 Words  | 5 Pages

    Censorship of the arts is a highly debated and controversial subject that deals with what artistic content is deemed acceptable or unacceptable to the public in society, as well as the limitations of practicing artists’ rights to express themselves through art. In this regard, art should be a way to express one’s own opinions, but should not be used as a vessel for insensitive or malicious intent in dealing with topics such as race and religion. In this essay, I will be discussing this and two other reasons as to why artists should not be given absolute freedom in creating their artworks. These other reasons are that art may also cause controversy within society when dealing with topics unaccepted by conservative members of the public, such as political views that go against the norm, as well as shocking or, to some, disturbing content such as intense or extreme gore and nudity. While these are some reasons why art censorship can be justified, I will also be discussing a counter-argument to these reasons, which is that society should not shoot down views and opinions based solely on a minority that does not approve of them.

  • Violent Video Games Essay

    A recent content analysis by the research organization Children Now shows that a majority of video games include violence and about half of the violent incidents would result in serious injuries or death in the "real" world. Claim1 Research involving British primary schoolchildren found that the length of time young people spend playing games, rather than their content, could have an effect on their behavior or school performance. But it concluded that fears that generations of young people are growing up with their development impaired by exposure to violent video games are no more likely to be borne out than previous “moral panics” over television and other media. Playing one-player games is not always negative if you do it moderately.

    Video games have been targeted again and again by a ton of people and groups: gun enthusiasts, feminists, religious people, parents, news media, and even the government of the United States. Video games are, in the words of President Donald Trump, “creating monsters!” The US government has always been one of the main enemies of the video game industry. Many laws have been proposed against the sale of violent video games; but in the court of law, judges would often find no reasonable correlation between violent video games and violent behavior. Most of the time laws sent to the Supreme Court were just too vague or a violation of the First Amendment.

    Another form of art that some feel should be censored is some novels that are out there like Catcher and the Rye, Harry Potter series, and To Kill a MockingBird again this is just to name a few that are out there. People for censorship mainly want it as a way of protecting their kids and to protect the people who can’t handle those types of art. The main reason for that is people are sometimes afraid that if people play, watch, or see these works they might make them snap and try and imitate what they’ve seen or read in real life. A new research American Psychological Association (APA) has shown that children and young adults who play first person shooter games have been more prone to aggression but not necessarily criminal activity. The same can be said for racy novels that depict killing and
