It has been said that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Several studies point that violent video games can influence people to violence. I've recently found a scholarly study from the American Psychological Association that suggests video games as a therapeutic tool. Personally, I do believe that taking time to play keeps a person healthy. That is as long as the person doesn't get addicted with the game.
For my students in General Psychology. I want your sensible comments regarding whether or not video games can help develop a person's mind or lead to its decay.
Then download the article from the American Psychological Association provided in the link below for our class discussion next meeting.

TumugonBurahinvideo games are just entertainment tools to occupies minds and imaginations. they give creativity and works of art to a broader modern audience including but limited to adults, children, teenagers etc.

TumugonBurahinVideo Games are created because of the rapid changes in technology. The main objective was to show that our world is taking its place into a modern one. However, the creators weren't able to realize the disadvantages of these inventions to the users. The video games are available like hot cakes in every corner of the city. Thus, as much as the users will not be addicted. The environment is the greatest encourager to them. They tend to play more because of the influencer such as computer shops, peer pressure, social media and etc. Though, I firmly believe that being addicted to video games will not lead to any violence. It might occur violence if only you deprive the user.

effect of video games on the brain is a research area gaining popularity as the percentage of children and adults. Some people believe violence in video games and in other media promotes violent behavior among viewers. According to my research, there are a number of studies showing that video games can increase aggressive behavior and emotional outbursts, and decrease inhibitions. :))
So play video games in a good way. :))

TumugonBurahinVideo games has an effect in our mind. It makes us feel relaxed and it also entertain us.. But in some individual, they have been engaged too much in playing video games that leads them to do the same thing as they play. They are very focused or addicted of what they are doing that's why their minds are being occupied. For me, playing video games is a nice activity, it only depend on other people on how they will be influenced to do violence or not.

Video games can serve several helpful roles: they can function as a means to evaluate cognitive skills in younger patients, can help younger patients feel more comfortable and cooperative within a psychotherapy setting, and can provide a means to clarify conflicts that arise during therapy. Other potential ‘upsides’ of video games include findings that they can be learning tools to teach kids how to manage specific health conditions, to facilitate dialogue between parents and kids, and to give parents and children common ground for spending time together.

Video games could do help gaining some facts to help our mind and personal skills and it can be part of mind exercise. It helps people to think much deeper in every situation as well as people depend in every game and apply it to their daily lives. Video games has its own advantage and disadvantage so people must be reminded how to use it properly to avoid getting "ADDICTED" especially those young students.

Video games can be addictive to the mind of ones person. Ive noticed that when children plays video games they tend to be more sensitive and irritable.Video games can function as a means to evaluate cognitive skills in younger patients, can help younger patients feel more comfortable and cooperative within a psychotherapy setting, and can provide a means to clarify conflicts that arise during therapy. They learn how to react to the environment and learn how to use bad words.Players tend to be much less inhibited to share their emotions to others.

Video games for now in youngers make sense. Because if your not involve in video games now ,it seems like you are not belong for the newest and latest technology that people used to do. Sometimes people insult other that do not know how to use computers nowadays. Video games makes a harmful effect on our lives if we are taking it or using it in abuse way. For an instance we are using video games daily or some others maybe they're using iit minute to minute, in short ,some are choosing to play video games in order for them to get a chance not to do their home works especially household chores .
Video games typically use additional means of providing interactivity and information to the player.Nowadays person's character is reflected in some aspect of the video game he/she used to play and get addicted. Video games has a good effect and bad effect , good in terms of children is familiarize on some words or activity that he/she encounter in that game, and bad in terms of he/she impersonate the things that he see in the video game such as violence, etc

Video games are made for people who looks for enjoyment and relaxation. And at the same time it also sharpen one's mind. But in some instance others indulging at this kind of activity get addicted when they frequently play which is not capable to a person. Because as long as they get addicted a bigger effect happens in their daily life.
That's why there are advantages and disadvantages in playing video games.
So to all gamers out there! Limit yourself and use video games in a smart and good way. :)

In my own point of view, the effect of a video game to a person is not always positive or negative. It’s up to that person how is he going to control himself when is the right time to play and what is the right game to play.
By doing this, the person may develop critical thinking (and other cognitive skills as well as psychomotor skills) while playing. However; too much video game makes a person socially isolated. He may spend less time in other activities such as doing homework, reading, sports, and interacting with the family and friends.
So when playing video games just remember CCLE. That is, Control, Choose, Learn and Enjoy playing!

Some study say that video games can develop eye and hand coordination. For me some games can enhance motor skills, emotional, and characteristics of a person. Strategy games can develop a person thinking ability in a situation, RPG games can develop emotions, First person shooting games can result in violent. But it's all up to the person if they will absorb the effect of video games. Also video games are design to get away from reality. It is a tool to rest you're mind in you're daily work and get out of stress. :)

As not gamer myself I say it depends.Well there's a variety of video games nowadays unlike simple tetris and pong before. But the problem is other games are becoming more violent though at the same time more creative. for me, it helps develop my creativity and philosopy because games like metal gear series, though shows violence in general, also includes philosophies about life. I prefer games with stories....

TumugonBurahinNowadays many people addicted in computer games and video games but im not including myself.But i play computer games when i feel bored. many said that .
computer games can release stress but not all the time. It can have a harmful effect for those people who addicted in computer games. In some point, some people can show their creativity in this way.
don't abuse ourselves in computer games, once play is enough to satisfied but twice is too much.
