The connection between game violence and aggressiveness in the players

I definitely believe that there is a connection between violence in video games and increased aggressiveness in its players.
Prolonged time spent with certain video games and television viewing can desensitize you so that you become accustomed to violence and killing. The incidents in the amounts and types of violence among youths I feel is the evidence of a connection. Unfortunately the new, more sophisticated games have better graphics and allow players to participate in even more realistic violent acts so I don't see things getting better any time soon.
There has been some research that suggests “video and computer game violence may be even more dangerous than violence shown on television or in films, since the player identifies himself with the characters carrying out the violence. Television can make us spectators of violence; computer games can make us feel like participants. Furthermore, a movie may take a child only a couple of hours to watch, but a child may spend up to 100 hours mastering a typical video game”.

People are DEFINITELY influenced by what they see, read, and do. That is the reason billions of dollars are spent on advertising in such medias as television, radio, and newspapers. For the young and impressionable, these games may blur the distinction between reality and fantasy.

Secondly, there are a large number of children in the U.S. that are reported as clinically obese. Lack of exercise because of too much time spent in front of the TV, computer screen, or with a hand-held video game is likely contributing to the problem. Parents and guardians should limiting the time spent playing such games and encourage spending time with other activities such as studying, interacting with others, and playing creatively to assure that their children become well rounded individuals.
