Violence in Veido games

A junior in high school did a report on this conflict and it is actually quite interesting and insightful. He explains that there is data that proves violent video games affect children negatively in some ways, but there are many points that dispute those ideas. He goes on to explain that violent video games don't actually make children violent at all, and that they are just an escape from reality and just entertaining. These violent video gives children the ability to communicate with friends and family online and even complete strangers, therefore they do not really become socially inadequate. He does explain that playing excessively can attribute with obesity. I personally believe that violent video games do not necessarily make people violent, but they definitely desensitize children.
