3. Video games do cause children to be violent . Scientific research at Indiana University School of Medicine show that kids who have played a violent video game scans show that they have an increase and gained emotional arousal , in addition to this they have a corresponding decrease and loss of activities in some parts of the brain such as : self-control, inhibition and attention.This does not mean you will have an urge to go out on a rampage and start killing teacher and friends after playing call of duty .Vince Mathews a investigator on the study, hesitates to make that leap. But he says he does think that the study should encourage parents to look more closely at the types of games their kids are playing.

4. video games does not cause violence, however Video games do inspire people to the way they conduct violence, they teach people how to hurt other people in the most horrible ways, I am mostly talking about games like GTA , CALL OF DUTY ( 1 – 6 ) where the sole purpose of the game is to kill and molest . Without video games then how can people release they're anger and frustration out without hurting someone . In a video game you can kill , run over and even bomb people and not get into trouble . Would want to hurt a real innocent person or do whatever you want will a un-lived person who can come back alive without showing any signs of pain .in the International Journal of Liability and Scientific Enquiry, Patrick Kierkegaard of the University of Essex, England, suggests that there is scant scientific evidence that video games are anything but harmless and that they do not lead to real world aggression. And has concluded that there is no real solid proof of evidence apart from the judgements on other people and them posting in the media .

5. overall i would agree that violent video games does not cause children to be violent . there is no hundred percent proof apart from test which has not been proven . test have been taken out however result show that children that children who played a violent video fane has got an activities on certain part of the brain so the test which does not prove anything . It is a shame that people have to ruin all the fun out of brilliant piece of equipment .
