JCCS Academic Language Week 13 - Interview

Do violent video games contribute to youth violence?

Marta thinks video games may contribute to youth violence because when kids play video games, it can over stimulates your brain. It's more difficult to access certain parts of your brain which is responsible for rational thinking, and instead you use an emotional part of the brain and make impulsive decisions which includes violent behaviors.
 
Jeff thinks video games do contribute to youth violence because kids are too busy playing video games rather than doing their homework. It does not only affect the kids but the emotions that the kids go through every single day. 

Hunter thinks video games might contribute to youth violence, it depends on each person. Some people have the tendency to mimic what they see while others can simply enjoy the entertainment aspect of gaming.
