ARE COMPUTER GAMES BAD FOR CHILDREN?


The arguments of Walker, A. (2001) and Davies, S. (2003) agree that violent videogames are not good for children.
 Davies says that videogames are highly addictive and prevents the interaction of the children with family and friends.
Walker says that young people who regularly play violent computer games have a tendency to be more aggressive than those who do not.
 In my opinion videogames are good for the people, you liberate your anger, forget about your problems and it also encourage socialization and leadership. The only problem is that some people don’t know how to use it. You have to play but not in excess, because everything is excess is bad for your health.
