Video game violence: senior project made by Saul Bernal.
On the topic of violence caused by video games: Fingers are pointed at video games for violent acts, primarily mass shootings. Often, the case about shooters is that they most likely play video games as an outlet for their violent issues or loneliness. Adam Lanza was a disturbed young boy and found that his interactions with others was only possibly through a video game. If video games can be related to mass shootings, it is most likely something that helps since it allows a way to lose yourself in a world that is separate from your own. Gaming is an escape from reality and does not influence or encourage violence. They portray violence no differently than movies or TV shows. They add a more immersive experience that may be more appealing to someone with social issues or something of the sort. Video games can not be attributed to causing violence.
I really wanted to comment on this because theres an episode on The Big Bang Theory where Penny gets lost in a video game for weeks to the extent that she didn't even go to work and it was because she was having issues with her overall life and she used it as an escape. Which is really interesting because it seems that you really can get lost in a video game to even think you're apart of that world. Also though, it was just a really funny episode.
