The name of my article is “Do Violent Video Games contribute to youth violence.” The author of my article is ProCon.org and this is a web site put together by groups of people contributing to a subject matter that has both points of view going in to debate a topic.

The article reports on both sides of video games causing violence in the youth population. Like for one example is the way that it supports that video games do not contribute to youth violence is “A 2007 study reported that 45% of boys played video games because it helps me get my anger out and 62% played because it helps me relax.”  But in this they also debate the other side of the article saying of how it hurts. Like as stated on page 2 as “Violent video games teach youth that violence is an acceptable conflict- solving strategy and an appropriate way to achieve one’s goals. A study found that youth who play violent video games have a lower belief in the use of nonviolent strategies and are less forgiving than players of nonviolent video games.”

One way that they get there point across that is Violent Video Games do not clause violence in the youth population is by using lots of numbers and how the higher the ratings went up on violent video games the rate at which the youth population doing crimes went down. So some might say that there is a correlation there not just mere coincidence. Another way that that they use to get there point across is by making the other side sound bad and that they are just making things up because they don’t like video games not that they really cause violence in the youth population.
