Questions & Answers with Experts in Violent Video Games

During a week of finding evidence for my research, I managed to find some interesting people whom I was given the opportunity to speak with. Each of them had different opinions whether or not violent video games causes aggression to children. Throughout the interviews, their thoughts emphasized my results. 

There were many places I had to check when researching violent video games. To be honest, there were multiple places that rejected my request. Luckily, the places I checked was a couple of stores that sold violent video games and a specialist in physical therapy. The fact that most of these people were parents themselves provided enough evidence to show what kinds of violent video games most adults will allow their kids to play. I provided standard questions about their experiences with video games in order for them to share their thoughts on violent video games. The two stores shared their opinions about violence in video games but both had different views. They said that they have many children come into their stores who cannot purchase these games unless they have either identification or parent/guardian. The specialist however, shared as much of her opinion as she could. I managed to gather as much information I needed to show parents the quantity of children who play violent video games.

By the end of my interviews, the three guests concluded that violent video games can cause slight aggression to young minds unless provided with parental guidance. This process is necessary to most parents concerned about what their kids can play. In conclusion, most children will tend to play violent games by themselves to avoid any distractions, which is another reason why parents should watch what their kids play.
