My thesis

Video games are a topic of much debate. Many view them as a negative aspect to society and others feel that they greatly are changing society. Both can agree that it is a multi-billion dollar industry. Video games have a negative effect on our society as they negatively impact and put into jeopardy the success of marriage, college or education, and basic relationships of its users.

  1. I hate video games. My fiance uses computer games as an excuse to "stay connected" to his friends in Kentucky. Seeing as how I'm going to be married to him, I feel like he should spend less time with games, and more doing valuable things. haha. just sayin.

  2. Seriously? You think that by playing video games it is all about the game? For me, it is the one thing I can do with my cousins in AZ while I am here. I think its awesome and you should DEFINITELY get used to it. Because if you seriously think that by taking that connection away from him you will be helping, you are mistaken. Like everything, video games as well should be used in modest amounts. But they aren't the spawn of the devil. People need to grow up and not be stuck thinking they are just to play the game. Because for most people they aren't.

  3. I think it depends on the game. Some games have a better effect than others. I don't think all games are bad, but I would agree that there are a lot of games that people would be better off without.

  4. Rachel, I think it has less to do with the game, and more time with the amount of time spent on it. I know some people that play a game an hour or two a week, while other friends would not go to the bathroom if they didn't have to in order to play the same game more.

  5. I have no problem with video games as long as they are used in moderation. I know that some video games are helpful in training a person's reaction time and help their hands on skills; however, I know that video games can also be very destructive when people play them too much.
