Video Games
Issue:
Nowadays, the video games industry is developing rapidly. It becomes a multi-billion dollar
industry. Video games have become an important part not only in the children’ life, but also in
the adults’ life. Nevertheless, there is an argument whether video games bring good or bad
influences on children.

Arguments For:
People who have a pro argument claim that video games give a lot of benefits, playing video
games is a good way to kill children’s boredom. It can refresh the children’s mind after a tiring
school day. Moreover, they also argue that video games can trigger children to be more creative
because the games provide challenging ways to win. In other words, they believe that the video
games can actually sharpen a human’s brain.
Arguments Against:
Conversely, some people believe that video games make children lazy. They argue that playing
video games is addictive. As a consequence, most of the children prefer playing video games to
studying. These children find it hard to concentrate on their study because they always think
about how to spend more time playing video games. In fact, there are also some children who
skip their extracurricular lessons, just because they want to play video games. In addition, most
of the video games often expose too much violence. Two years ago in the USA, for example, a
student shot his teacher and some of his friends. Newspapers said that the boy was deeply
influenced by the actions in the video games he used to play with.

Recommendation:
It is obvious that video games have more disadvantages than advantages. Therefore, parents
should be very careful in selecting the appropriate games for their children.
