Questions: Do you agree with David Grossman? Explain why or why not.
- I think David Grossman had given his strong opinion against violent video games and violent TV shows. For me, I agree with most of David Grossman opinion. I agreed with his ideas about how kids who watched violent TV and played violent games are similar to soldiers in training. I agreed with that because they are both taught to kill people and believe that the world is a bad and dark place. I also agreed when he said violent TV shows and games are desensitizing their viewer and make their viewer non-feeling person. I also like his point about how bad messages are delivered through violent games. Most of them tell us that we could kill people whenever we want or could use violence to solve problems. For example, in some parts of the world, students started going into schools and start shooting randomly at people. In a game, doing that is just normal but in the real world, it will left a huge effects and causes many tragedies. I also agreed with the idea that media companies should be subject to the same criticism as tobacco companies. Because they also cause addiction and might damage a child's life if they are too in to it and don't know what is right and what is wrong. A game might cause too much addiction that children could stop studying and used those times playing game, their life afterwards will result as a waste because they don't know anything to do instead of things in the games. So, I think David Grossman's points should be delivered to many people so the world could be better and better everyday. :)

Games
Question: Should twelve and thirteen year olds be able to play any video game they want?
- For me, I think twelve and thirteen year olds can't play any video video game they want. I think they should only be able to play games that are appropriate for them. Sometimes, games that are not for their ages might contain certain things that they shouldn't see or do. For example, a game for sixteen years old might contain killing and violence, for the age of sixteen they already know what is right for them to do, so the probabilities of them killing someone is very little. But for twelve or thirteen years old, they are still too young to realize what is right and what is wrong, they still have the thoughts that if they could kill someone in a video game, they definitely could do the same thing in the real world. The probability of a twelve or thirteen years old try to do the same with the game is much higher than the people of the game's target. In conclusion, I think twelve and thirteen years old shouldn't be allow to play whatever game they want.
