Topic : nowadays many people have access to computers on a wide basis and a

large number of children play computer games

What are the positive and negative impacts of playing computer games and
what can be done to minimize the bad effect

These days, there is an increasingly prevalent tendency that juveniles have access
to computers. While there is no doubt that children could get several benefits from
these leisure activities, such a trend is a big concern to all people due to the
multitude of serious downsides. This essay will take into consideration the positive
and negative impacts of playing computer games and discuss ways to mitigate the
potential bad effects

On the one hand, there are various justifications of the advantages of computer
games. It is thought by some that computer-generated graphics are more likely to
have a sense of relaxation since users and gamers are transported into a virtual
world, which is often more exciting and engaging than real-life pastimes.
Apparently, our minds definitely focus on the characters and tasks in the games,
which helps us forget the hardships we endure. Furthermore, playing video game
consoles is an efficient way to foster imagination and creativity through lively
images as well as concentration, logical thinking, and problem-solving. All of
which are useful skills outside the gaming context, such as flying a plane 

On the other hand, it is believed that substantial disadvantages are incredibly


apparent because gaming could be highly addictive since users are constantly given
scores, new targets, and frequent rewards to keep them playing. Besides, many
children misspend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of a game
or get higher scores than their friends, which makes them lack concentration at
school. When homework is sacrificed for a few more hours on the computer or
console. Another drawback I would like to mention is that this takes a toll on
children's behaviour as a multitude of online games with violent content is created,
which makes juveniles tend to imitate characters' actions. This renders them more
aggressive and out of control, which contributes to the increasing rate of crime

There are manifold actions that could tackle the problem described above.
Firstly, the family is considered as a cell of society. It means that parents are a
major force into giving advice, preventing their small kids from accessing violent
content. Moreover, parents should censor the contents of games that are
appropriate for their children. Secondly, Limiting the length of time playing video
games is identified as the effective method to mitigate game addiction. The family
could encourage them to engage in extraocular activities or useful sport clubs to
enhance their movements.

In conclusion, Playing computer games has both pros and cons. From my
perspective, if the family take adequate precautions, the above-mentioned
drawbacks can be avoided
