Question

i need the summary of this article “Why I Don’t Trust The Video Games Cause Violence” the article is written by Madigan J. the source is Forbes.com

Answer 1

The article successfully busted the myth that politicians and other influencers use to gain popularity, violent video games are related to violence, despite being proving many times that there is no connection between video games and violent behavior, people often found to put these together. More popularly politicians use this argument as an escape goat, because they’re not doing nothing about gun control and gun violence. The article points out how the research done indicating that these two subjects are linked is flawed and questionable. They all lack “external validity” which is important when you’re doing this kind of research. The article also identify how people mislabeled the frustration and learning curve of game as violent behavior. The article also raise the important question how you can distinguish violent and nonviolent games, if you’re comparing shooting and racing games as your baseline for arguments. The violent behavior they consider in laboratory is different form everyday life and situations. That’s why these myths are made by people in power, to shift the blame on someone else instead of taking action and accepting responsibility.
