2 days ago, India bans, PUB-G mobile games. It was nothing to do with the extreme violence in it but because of the some diplomatic and political concern over Indo-China Border. I wish ,Government would have taken such steps earlier to prevent our generation from getting into Aggresive and Violence mode. That true, that most of the video games were violence based causing serious concern for many parents and society.
This week @ecotrain too comes up with this question which must given many people to deep dive. Even though they are aware but never ever thought to think upon it.
Why do you think so many computer games are based on extreme violence? Do you think it is healthy or unhealthy?
There is a huge shift of liking over the period of times, from comedy series of Charlie Chaplin, to cartoon series of Mickey Mouse to Computer games. I thing I have seen the generation to simply avoid to answer this question, which have taken the new generation with storm. Violence and Aggresive are part of these genx that they like to spend maximum time hooking into mobile screen or computer screen.
I think to answer such question, we must first answer another question.
What used to be our favourite toys during childhood?
For most of us, I would say a toy gun I saw many of the parents were gifting their kids or other kids a toy gun, or a pistol. Infact I used to have 4-5 on my birthday. The moment we get hold of those guns, kids went into a playing zone where they pretend to play games of *police & thief. They make sounds of bullet firing , they act like being attacked , or pretend to be a police bla bla...(our naughty games)
The violence and aggresivess have moved now into a new zone which is based on computer and mobile games....where the kids wants to play with guns and shooting another thereby causing extreme violence and aggresivess in their attitude.
So another word, it would not be wrong to say that the liking of plastic toys guns have now shifted to virtual killing games through different compurer or mobile games. Kids have developed a liking of different weapons and pretend to play the major cop or soldier through these video games. They are living a life of own, and there by most of the video games were based on extreme violence that would pull more user to play with their childhood memory of using a toy guns.
Healthy & Unhealthy
Violence can never be healthy, that for sure we have understood. Even our history says that violence never get to any result. It only disrupts many life and create major devastation.
Playing video games is simply destroying the kids, and their mental stability. They are more prone to violence and thereby not ready to listen to anyone. Their virtual life starts takes upon them and they like to live into it. These are quite harmful and we have seen many loss of lives for example Bluewhale that have taken many lives just by playing and causing serious concern.
I think, video games are not going to do any wonder to our generation.
There are many better alternative which the gamer could opt for and lead a happy life.
Peace
Namaste @steemflow
