Topic > Violence in Video Games - 2028

What makes people want to buy violent video games? Why do parents buy violent games for their children? Are people buying these games just because they're popular? There are many questions that specialists and researchers try to answer. Are people more violent because they buy violent video games? Do violent video games make people who aren't violent violent? Such games are said to be in a school setting where the person has to kill zombies that are in the shape of a person. There are others that the person playing the video game can now control what happens in the game with their own kicking and punching movements when playing on Wii. The creators of violent video games should be more respectful towards the public and not create so much violence in video games. December 14, 2012 was a normal day until a young man named Adam Lanza shocked the world. If Adam Lanza doesn't say anything, he is known for bringing a gun to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Colorado. Newscast after television broadcast the story of Adam going to the elementary school and killing a total of twenty children and six adult staff members. Lanza was a video game addict. He played very violent games like Call of Duty. Adam went and killed random children that he had no connection to, just like in video games where an individual kills random people who are zombies in the video game. In this game the individual has no connection with most of the people he kills (Karlinsky and Przygoda). So why isn't this million-selling video game that may be linked to this incident being investigated? Not because this video game is popular, we can sit back and watch people be persuaded to think it's okay for violence...... middle of paper ...... change an opinion, but many voices can make the differenceWorks CitedBale, Alyssa M.
