News
I have found news about two young child shot dead a nurse through imitating the actions in GTA.
Another news about a mere 6-year old child drove mum's car for going to school.
Personal Analysis
Though I’m not much affected by the violence of the game, I personally do think GTA video games will culturally affect gamers. Teenagers especially those under legal age to play the game are very susceptible to the violent behaviors. After playing GTA, one may imitate and practice violence in school by involving in fight, destroying public utilities, rebelling against teachers, and similar situations. Young children exposed to extreme violence towards their early age shaped evil behaviors and grow up becoming corrupted adults.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the GTA video games definitely show explicit of violence throughout the 3D series. Generally it may just be another video game, but GTA’s concept has polluted the mind of the teen gamers to think they’re in realm of reality. The kids in U.S. are example being the “victim” to the games. It’s shown in past cases from U.S. that a nurse was being shot dead and a 6 years old kid driving a car.Teenage gamers of GTA demonstrate how they influenced based on their behaviors. Thus, video games have no longer just served the entertainment purpose, but inflict negative cultural behaviors towards players. My research explains the power of video games to manipulate player’s behavior out of the game.
Recommendation of future research
I will recommend looking at the other effects of video games. I have come across news saying kids exposing to violence in prolonged time may be desensitize from it. In other words, bad behaviors from video games may not be affecting the gamers, after playing for long time. Some video games are said to be educational as well. Some has voiced out the positive effect of violent shooter games. Players’ quick reaction in playing shooting games, their mind may be more alert comparing to others.
