Video Games (Josep Olives, Julio Cid and Carlos Perelló)

Games have caused a lot of problems, so the opinion about them has become more controversial.

Nowadays most of people say that games are not good for our society, especially for children and teenagers.  

Most of the games have violent adventures. Due to this, children are more aggressive because they think they can do the same as at the game. Also, young people are becoming more addict to them. They spend too much time playing and become more isolated from society, at that time they don’t have social life and no friends. Moreover they don’t practise any physical exercise and become unhealthier. Furthermore, games cause eyes and psychological problems like stress. We have to remember that these types of games aren’t productive, so they can’t learn anything. with all the hours that teenagers spend playing, rather than spend time studying.

Nevertheless,  to avoid game addiction, the government can promote certain type of activities to help young people to do some sports or go outside meeting friends, and not stay at home only playing video games.

VIDEO GAMES

Nowadays, we can all see that technology has advanced over time, an example of this is the high quality and accuracy of new video games. Nearly everyone, especially young people, play video games during their free time. However, videogames, are known to create addiction that's why they are so controversial.

Firstly, we can say that video games are being so controversial owing to the violence that appears in the majority of them, especially because a great number of players are children and that doesn’t contribute to their education. Despite the fact that videogames are a clear form of entertainment, their addiction is a big problem we can find among people who are not conscious, since many kids stay up all night playing video games, like any other type of addiction. As a result, we could find an alternative to avoid this dependence, overweight, isolation and all these problems that this obsession causes .

Technology

Nowadays, technology is part of our life, especially it's part of young people’s life, and those who don’t have a smartphone or don’t play videogames, are considered strange or peculiar.

The bad thing about videogames is the time you spend, unconsciously, sitting in front of the computer trying to pass a new level for days and when you can’t pass it, you start to feel anxious. This anxiety plus the sedentary life make you unhealthy. Besides, when children are used to playing violence videogames they become aggressive and nobody wants to be their friends. But what can we do to encourage children to do sports and be more sociable? One of the most important things is try to do excursions all the family together and also foster free activities with the help of the government.

In conclusion, videogames are bad for your health if you are addicted to them, but if you only play for half an hour, you do sport regularly and you aren’t an aggressive person, they are good.

Video Games

Nowadays video games are a popular form of entertainment among young people. There are a lot of types of video games and some teenagers spend most of their time playing, that’s why they are controversial.

On the one hand, I think that video games contain violence which excites them and consequently this entertainment becomes an addiction. Moreover, if you are addicted to playing video games, you will waste all your time playing, so you begin to have health problems because you stop doing sports and hanging out with friends, so some video games make you unsociable.

On the other hand, many people say that action games are good for people who study to be a doctor,

On the other hand, many people say that action games are good for people who study to be a doctor, a lawyer, etc. Furthermore, some video games are designed to be instructive because they can participate on competitions in teams, sing, dance, play chess…

To sum up, I think that video games must have a parental control. In addition, it’s necessary for famous young people to promote other activities among teenagers like team sports, playing chess or dance and song competitions, so that teenagers want to copy them.

WHY VIDEO GAMES ARE SO CONTROVERSIAL

Nowadays teenagers spend a lot of time playing video games, it's the most popular form of entertainment in the world; it's fun and it's a good way to spend your spare time but you shouldn't be gaming all day because it's unhealthy.

The first thing you think of when someone asks you to mention negative effects of video games is that they promote violence and they have a bad influence on young people. Children are easily influenced, and violent games can show them bad habits and make them hurt other people. They may not distinguish the real world from the virtual one. They're also addictive and this can stop the youth who spend a long time playing from getting enough exercise and not socializing.

There are a lot of different activities that could be promoted among adolescents like reading or sports, but the government and other institutions like schools should promote them providing facilities like parks where teenagers could do exercise.

In conclusion, video games aren't bad if you play them with moderation but there's no doubt that spending too much time gaming isn't good for you.

ARE VIDEO GAMES GOOD OR BAD?

Millions of people all over the world play games regularly. Games are one of the most popular kind of leisure activities which exist for many reasons. Firstly you don’t need anything, only a console or computer, the control and of course the game, and secondly you don't have to do anything, only move your fingers.

However, there are some games that shouldn’t be allowed, because some games may show inappropriate content or be very violent. But some people think that games are a waste of time and money. Due to this, games have been controversial since their launch.

In spite of the success of games we must do something, so we could promote other types of leisure activities which are more profitable like sport. But the question is who? In my opinion, schools could promote sport for children, the media could sponsor ads related with sport and also some institutions could promote sport in the street or publics areas.

Why videogames are so controversial?

Videogames are one of the biggest hobbies we have, but there are a lot of people who are hooked and obsessed with them, foremost teenagers. Is there any activity which would make you use your time in a better way than playing videogames?

Almost all videogames promote violence, racism or bad language, which is not ethically correct and is not good for developing children. Moreover, they could make you fat and may isolate you from the real world too, as you play sitting on the sofa at home. That’s why I think other kind of activities such as playing sports, which would help you to improve your health and welfare or reading, which would help you to raise your knowledge. Meeting your friends may be another good option instead of videogames.

To sum up, the reason why I prefer other activities to be promoted by our leaders is that videogames are taking so much time from people’s life and decreasing their life quality that they should be controlled in order to avoid the situations I mentioned in the paragraph above.

Can video games affect teenagers behaviour?

Contemporary culture has brought us new technologies such as video games, which are played by all people but teenagers are the biggest group. Nowadays, video games have become object of controversy. Nevertheless there are other kind of activities for teenagers.

Video games can produce some types of disease like losing eyesight (if you spend lot of time in front of a screen) or putting on weight. However, there are other activities including team sports that could make teenagers exercice and be in contact with other kids. In addition, they can be addictive causing personal isolation, your marks will change the same as your social life and cause you stress. Moreover, some aren’t appropriate for children because they contain lots of violence, modifying children’s behaviour. Therefore, there are some artistic activities like painting that could calm children’s behaviour.

All in all, video games affect you in different ways but they have lots of alternatives that should be promoted by parents, schools, TV and goverments.

Video Games

Nowadays, video games are very popular all over the world. However, their use is a controversial topic.

Firstly, computer games can cause addiction, for this reason, many people play video games for many hours. Consequently, some people become isolated.

Secondly, some games promote violence and hatred, besides, sometimes they contain violent scenes, rude words, sex and drug use.

Finally, in extreme situations, people, above all young children, can’t differentiate between reality and the game, therefore they need psychological attention.

In conclusion, everybody can play computer games provided we don’t abuse them. Furthermore, parents and teachers should promote free time activities for teenagers such as sports, excursions and other activities.

COMPUTER GAMES

Computer games are controversial because very young people are addicted to their computers or game consoles. This is wrong because it takes away many hours of study and sleep as well as time that could be spent with friends.

There have even been cases of people dying because the do not sleep nor eat. There is a new video game that has recently come, called "Pokemon Go".in which there are pokemons in the street which people have to catch, but it is dangerous because people look at their phone and it can cause an accident.

Other types of activities that could be promoted among young people are sport, playing an instrument, learning a language, etc. These things are positive for people because they learn something. They are also good for our future and to improve our health.

Videogames

Nowadays technology has been integrated in our society, for instance, mobile phones or videogames. One of the most controversial ones are videogames because of the problems the cause especially among the younger generation/ among young people.

Firstly this type of games promote a lot of violence, and in many cases, killing is the main objective, so this could create serious problems in children’s lives like being more aggressive. This problem is related to children who play videogames which are for adults. Consequently, if kids play violence games, they’ll not won’t distinguish virtual reality from real life. Secondly, videogames can create addiction, dependence, and lead the youth to be more unsociable. Although videogames cause serious problems, they also have a few positive things such as games that are focused on education or the correct coordination of our body.

To sum up, the disadvantages of online games to mainly concern children, so the solution would be a combination of playing games and doing physical activity, promoted by social media, schools with professional talks or the government.

TECHNOLOGY IS NOT UNDER CONTROL

Technology will become an international problem until we stop it. Nowadays, children are spending a lot of their time playing video games.

First of all, many boys and girls around the world are becoming aggressive and unsociable due to video games. Moreover, they don’t practise any kind of sport and it’s possible that they will have health problems in the future. In addition, the screen brightness damages their eyes if they spend six hours every day in front of computers. Recently, many studies state that physical activities of children have decreased last years. Nevertheless, parents keep on letting their children to play video games too much time!

A solution to this problem is that the government should promote physical activities. Furthermore, they can also reward those boys and girls that get good achievements in some sports.

In conclusion, technology also has good advantages, like entertainment or education, but these aren’t sufficient to make up for all these disadvantages.

VIDEO GAMES

Nowadays nearly everyone uses technology to talk with people. Also, most people of all ages play video games.

Firstly, you become aggressive because if you lose a game you get angry. Secondly, video games create serious problems. For example, video games create addiction. Because of this, unluckily you don’t do sport. That’s the reason why eventually they create health problems because you are sitting on a chair for a long time and you eat. Also, you suffer damage due to screen brightness because people spend a long time in front of the screen. Finally, people don’t distinguish fantasy from reality and these people instead of socializing in real life; they are socializing in video games or fantasy.

In conclusion, although I agree that video games are a wonderful invention to entertain, they can be harmful if you play them for too long because, once this happens, people usually forget about their obligations.

Video Games

These days video games are the subject of great controversy as some people believe they are harmful. There are many other kinds of leisure activities which are healthier and less addictive.

Firstly, violent video games can make people become violent or agressive. Furthermore they can also be addictive, as when people play them they lose track of time (as I know from experience!!). Moreover, by playing and wasting time on these games people become unsociable and instead of doing exercise or meeting friends they spend their time inside, in front of a screen.
To solve these problems the government should try to promote other forms of entertainment which make adolescents get outside and communicate with other people. For instance, schools could offer extra-activities or trips after lessons or at weekend to help teenagers become more sociable.

In conclusion, the government should do more to avoid this growing problem, by promoting other forms of entertainment as adolescents are spending more and more time in front of screens which can damage their health.

WHY ARE VIDEO GAMES CONTROVERSIAL?

Nowadays, video games have become not only one of the most popular free-time activities, but also the focus of several controversies. Why has this happened?

There are many reasons why video games have become so controversial. First of all, they are created to engage people that finally become addicted. This means that video games become a waste of time for these people. Furthermore, spending so much time watching a screen without moving, and “living” a fake life in a fake world can cause players several problems or diseases (either physical or psychological) such as epilepsy.

There wouldn’t be any controversy if people played less time with video games and spent it doing other activities such as practising any sport, reading, visiting museums..., but this can happen only if all the governments, institutions and educators make an effort to change people’s minds.

To sum up, playing video games is a controversial activity for many reasons like the loss of time it supposes, but if everyone changes their mind on this issue, there won’t be any more disagreement.

VIDEO GAMES

Nowadays, video games have become a very big business, which is more successful than the cinema. But they are creating controversy about the good and bad consequences of playing video games.

On the one hand, video games could be very bad. They promote violence, especially among teenagers, who become more violent and can have social problems. Many of these games could become addictive and it's a really big waste of time for adolescents, who should be meeting friends or doing some sport, which are healthier than playing video games all the time. Also, an excessive use of games can create backache or eyesight problems, because of the brightness of the screen.

On the other hand, playing video games has some good points. With them you can experiment an amazing adventure and learn lots of things, like a specific language, or about lots of different matters, depending on the kind of game.

In my opinion, playing video games is positive, but only if we play usually and responsibly. And to help us to try to avoid an addiction, the big institutions should promote other activities, which make us leave home and have fun doing something different.

Video Games, a double edged sword

Nowadays,the popularity of video games is increasing among people from all backgrounds because today’s video games have nothing to do with the ones from the past decade. You will laugh when you compare today’s high definition games to the outdated Mario Bros.

So that you get an overall view, according to recent studies, video games revenues have surpassed those of Hollywood revenues. However, as the old saying goes, All that glitters is not gold and the fact is that video games have drawbacks. Many people become addicted to these games and lose track of time or care for nothing else. In addition, playing violent video games such as Grand Theft Auto can cause psychological disorders that in some cases can lead children to replicate the scenes they see on these video games.

As I see it, video games are not by a long chalk indispensable and can be easily replaced by other activities such as practicing sport or reading that can be as satisfying as playing games but with almost no drawbacks.

VIDEO GAMES

People of different ages and from different countries have distinct opinions about video-games. Some of them think they are addictive and others say that they can be educational.

I think that all people know that some players can get addicted to a video game and they can't stop playing it, this fact has horrible consequences, for example, there are people who stop doing activities like sport or studying just to play video games. In addition, some kids buy games which are for adults, and incite players to violence, and they shouldn't play with them because children don't distinguish between fiction and real life. However, I think that some video games are good for the children because they can teach languages or improve coordination.

In my opinion the government and schools should encourage youth to exercise more through setting up teams so they could compete . Another way to decrease the inappropriate use of video games would be to the sales of video games for adults, as they do with the alcoholic drinks or tobacco.
To conclude, I don't think that video games are negative for the players. However everybody knows that all extremes are bad, so in my opinion people should spend more time playing in the street that with video games.

Video Games

Nowadays, video games are one of the most popular and controversial topics. The number of children that play video games increases every day. So, are video games a good option, or is it better to promote other activities among adolescents?

Firstly, the most controversial point is that video games could be addictive, therefore the children will waste a lot of time and money on them. Secondly, they might promote violence, consequently people become violent. For this reasons, we need to promote other kind of free time activities. For instance they could be replaced with doing sport, playing an instrument or going out with friends. 

To sum up, I believe that Video Games are not bad, but if you make an excessive use of them, they could have terrible consequences.

Why are video games so controversial?

Video games have been a controversial topic since their creation. Nowadays, the world is divided between people who love video games and those who only see their drawbacks. They are both right so, what could we do?

It’s obvious that, for the last ten years, video games have invaded teenagers’ leisure time and become their favourite activity. Although, this overuse is the cause of addiction and a huge amount of health problems. Moreover, it has social consequences because the child is getting away from real life and replacing his/her mates with internet friends. That’s the most critical point of video games, but they also have some benefits to balance the scales. For example, there are many educative games. In conclusion, the problem is not the game, it’s the huge amount of time we spend playing it. For that reason, we need to promote other activities such as sports to unplug children from electronic gadgets.

To sum up, the abuse of video games is still being a problem and we will have to cooperate to swap it over.
