Do Video Games Change Youth?Permalink
Of course they do. Did movies change youth in the 20's and 30's? Yes, they did.

Forms of "stimulation of the brain", otherwise known as art, have always changed the world around us. Some people point fingers at art for the worlds problem. Understandable. Some forms of art do inflict damage. For example, at the right viewpoint, the bible is a form of art. People have fought, debated, and even killed for this book. It's just that some people take art too seriously. It's a part of the human nature. Some embrace new ideas, whilst others believe in change.

I was 8 years old when I played Duke Nukem and Doom. And you know what happened? Nothing. I played the games and had a good time playing them. I didn't have a sudden urge to kill or dismember anyone. They say that games train youth how to kill. I won't lie, when you play FPS games like Call of Duty or Medal of Honor, you do have the ability to shoot a gun better then someone who has never played a shooter before. But the actual act of killing people is usually avoided by players of the genre.

I just needed to vent. Eveyone around my neck of the woods go batshit insane when I say things like "Bioshock is an experience that no book, movie or painting can copy". It not like I walked into a room and spouted: Abortion is AWESOME! People just need to accept that art changes, and mabye one day we'll see some form of art that we just can't understand and will hate. facepalm
