Video Games and TV Teach to Kill: Agree or Disagree?

     In my opinion , Grossman made his point about video games and tv teacj to kill by stating his learnings. However, I think I have some agreements and disagreements about "Video Games and TV Teach to Kill". I agree with his point of view that as violent is being involved in TV and Video Games, children are being more violent as some examples that you can find in Vietnam, like girls fighting against girls or boys fighting agaisnt girls. I also agree with him that media companies should be responsible in teaching children to live with violences and to convince that the world is an evil place. Worse than that, violent TV and Video Games not only teaching kids to kill but they're also teaching them to like it. However, I don't necessarily agree that the mind of a kid who watches violent TV show and plays violent video games to have a mind of a soldier of being desensitizing.  In my own thoughts, I think children should be supervise by adults who can take the responsibility to teach a child what's right, what's wrong. Another thing that I disagree with Grossman is just because a kid enjoys to kill in a video game, doesn't really mean that that kid would go out and kill someone in the real world, not that there weren't any kid that killed someone because they learnt it in a video game but not necessarily that all kids would do that. In conclusion, I think violent TV shows and video games effect children to be involve in wars, but adults should lead their child to the right direction of being a good person.

Answer the question!!!!

Question: Should thirteen year olds be able to play any video game they want?

Answer: I think thirteen year olds should be able to play any video games they want only under adult's supervision. Adults should explain to their children that their children shouldn't act and do the same as the video game if it is a violent game. The thirteen year olds should also choose games that are appropriate for the age so they would actually learn or entertain in a healthy way. However, the chances that a thirteen year olds would act the same way as the video game is very high because they are in a grown-up age and their characteristic is developing. For thirteen year olds, getting to understand the right from wrong is uncompleted so maybe they won't know what are the good things to do. Therefore, they will learn it from video games or online games. In conclusion, I think thirteen year olds should be able to play any video games they want only under adult's supervision.
