Playing video games


According to the film, what are some pros and cons of playing videogames for individuals and societies?
I have to say Different games may have different pros and cons.
Cons:
Firstly, I think playing videogames playing video games will harm our physical health; but some games are opposite to this, it may help people do some exercises.
For example, the game called Dance Dance Revolution helps players burn extra pounds while they are playing. As players follow the beat of the song associated with the game, they face the screen to move on a 3-foot square platform with an arrow on each side of the square – pointing up, down, left, and right.
Secondly, if someone loses himself in the videogame, they may waste much time to study or work. And people may get violence in their real life.
Thirdly. If we take much time to play the videogames it affects our study negatively. For example, you can see the dialogue below for a mother and a child.
“Honey, I have signed you up for advanced math and social science classes in this summer, so you will have something to do,” Mother tells her 12-year-old son. “Can I play some video games with my friends?” her son asks. “I think you don’t want to waste your time on that.” This conversation between a mother and her son implies that parents believe that video games are the cause of children studying less. They claim that the fewer video games children play, the more they achieve in the future. Although parents believe playing games has a negative influence on their children, some evidence shows that playing video games yields positive results.

Pros:
When we play the videogame which can help us improve our thinking and inspiration. That is good for us.
According the film, is there any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world? Do you agree?
Yeah, I think there is really any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world.
Should governments have the right to ban certain games? Why or why not?
Maybe the governments should ban games the games which has negative effects to our body.
I have already said the cons in the first question, and different games may have different pros and cons. So we need to know what kind of games is good for us and what is not. And then the governments can use come policy to ban the games.
