‘Does the extensive use of computer/video games have an adverse impact on the health of young people? What are the most recent papers? Clarify what both sides of the argument claim and only then offer your reasoned opinion based on facts.’
This will be a very interesting topic to research. This issue is widely debated and there are many newspaper articles written about it. I am sure that I will find a wealth of information on this topic.
Some points that I will consider, include:
- Belief that computer/video games can improve fine motor skills
- Effect of violent video games on a person’s mental health (e.g. Norway, Columbine)
- Rising obesity levels in young people
- Effect on relationships and communication
I will look at the effect extensive use of computer/video games on the physical and mental health of young people. I will research papers discussing both sides of the argument, keeping in mind the points raised above. I will take into consideration any other points in the argument that I discover through my research, before I come to a conclusion regarding this topic.
