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. :)
Jessica, you have a really strong comment. I really agree with your opinion. T.V and games that are violent could make children have good impression or bad impression. Violent stuff could change children's personality into a different thing. Or it also could turn children thinking into a bad way... So, T.V and games could be a really big effective to children's mind, depends on how it's good or bad.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you, Jessica. But I MOSTLY disagree with him because of his words:"We're not just teaching the kids to kill, we're teaching them to like it." I was really "scare" when I hear that because he is such an EVIL man. Anyway, well done Jessica!!! You've done a good job. :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jessica. I agree that T.V and video games can make people believe that the world is a dark place. But I disagree about the cigarette companies, I think cigarette and video games don't relate to each other, and I don't understand why he compared cigarette and video games. So, I agree with you, except the cigarette companies part. Nice work Jessica.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your argument about David Grossman. I think that he is give too strong opinion against video game and T.V too. You give example to support you answer. Also, I like your word choice. In my opinion, your argument is strong and very well done.
