My first source, procon.org, gives a whole list of reasons for and against the theory of video games causing violence. If you take a look, cons outnumber pros by 2. Yes, studies have shown that people who have recently played violent games tend to react less when faced with violent photos, and yes, many violent people enjoy playing violent games, but so do most other adolescents, males in particular. In fact, a sizable number of teen boys say that playing violent games help them deal with stressors and irritants in their life. As Christopher Ferguson says in the CNN article I used as my second source, "by keeping young males busy with things they like, you keep them off the streets and out of trouble." ]]> 2017-03-26 00:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162590925 vhpham106 https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162591378 2017-03-26 00:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162591378 vhpham106 https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162591382 2017-03-26 00:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162591382 vhpham106 https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162592198 2017-03-26 01:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162592198 vhpham106 https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162592252 2017-03-26 01:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162592252 vhpham106 https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162592401 2017-03-26 01:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vhpham106/videogame_violence_p0/wish/162592401
