Does the violence in video games make our youth less sensitive when actual violence occurs? Does it make kids more likely to commits acts of violence or aggression?

Many of these types of questions have been asked around the globe by concerning parents, teachers, etc. But according to researchers at Oxford University, studies find no evidence that video games make children aggressive or less sensitive. Though, the length of time that is spent playing games could effect on their behavior/school performance than the content the games contain.

The article touches on the concerns that a generation of young people are growing up with aggressive behaviors due exposure to violent video games. But it is no different from growing up with news broadcasts on television and media reporting on similar topics with “violence”. It's like saying children can become violent or aggressive from watching the news. If anything, the news or social media is more influential than video games. One contains real life violence and tragedy while the other is virtual reality and fiction. Dr Andy Przybylski, from Oxford University’s Oxford Internet Institute, said "the fact that the study had not found evidence of a link between violent games and real-life aggression did not mean it does not exist but academics are divided about the possible effects",he said, “But if you look at the evidence it looks like when violence is in some [other] form of media like film it actually might be much more influential for those who consume it compared to games.”

The article further explains how the study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture, found that children who play online games usually play in teams decreasing the probability of having problems v. children who play alone. After interview hundreds of kids between the ages of 10 and 11, the results were that kids who played for less than an hour a day were less likely to have problems like aggression than the kids who did not play at all and the kids who spend more than three hours a day displayed higher levels of aggression and were less academically engaged. Also, it has been found that other studies supporting the idea that violent games contribute to aggression were inconsistent with data including "games involving similar levels of competition and difficulty".

In the end, both the studies and research suggest that, "that quantity may play a larger role than the quality of games played — a counter-intuitive finding for many focused on the violent contents of some gaming contexts,” and that "these findings do not support the idea that regular violent game play is linked to real world violence or conflict.”

As seen in this ad, many characters are shown as realistic personnel with complete profiles and background. It includes spontanious graphics, cuts, voice-overs, and futuristic special effects, and themes that intrigue younger ages. Music sound tracks also play a huge role in capturing the younger audience, exciting them because of the "cool or awesome" sound effects of weapons and monsters.

Another example of how the media uses violence to promote video games is by using real life scenarios to make the audience feel like they are actually in the virtual game itself. The audience feel like they can use all their sense in the game from hearing, seeing, possibly even touch. Since some video games are based on real-life situations like in this ad (some type of military personnel) the audience can relate to events in the game through prior knowledge, empathy, and or sympathy for both characters and situations they go through. The violence used in the ad can reach out or amuse children who are captivated by the realistic images that contain event they may see in modern day medias. These images create curiosity and the urge to experience it for themselves. (like how many boys at a young age want to be apart of the army, military, navy etc).
