You have had a class discussion about computer games. Write an essay giving your opinion on the following statement: “Computer games can be harmful”.
Accessing computers has increased significantly over recent decades, and the number of children playing games on computers has increased too. In this essay, I will consider the positive and negative impacts of this and discuss ways to avoid the potential adverse effects. With regards to the positive effects, we can relax for our mind by playing computer games. After working a long time, surely our brain needs to have some relaxation, and playing such games can be an excellent way to have rest. Also, players can chat with their friends directly or through social networks websites. Computer games create a friendship and have become a socializing tool to build and strength strong relationship between friends. Moreover, playing computer games can develop children's cognitive skills. Many popular games require abstract and high-level thinking skills to win, skills that may not be taught at school. For example, children need to follow instructions, solve complex problems and use logic in many of the games that are currently popular. Such experience will be beneficial to a child's progression into an adult. However, concerns have been raised about the prolific use of computer games by children, much of this related to the violence they contain. The problem is that in many of the games, children are rewarded for being more violent, and this violence is repeated again and again. For instance, many games involve children helping their character to kill, kick, stab and shoot. This may lead to increased aggressive feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. Besides, playing computer games overtime brings about health problems. Most of the players who spend much time in front of the computer, usually end up with sigh problems, because of the light from the screen of the computer. Due to that sight problem, they can't see from a distance which may affect their activities such studies. Researches discovered playing games overtime could entail health risks such as obesity, eye damage, and exposure to radiation. On the other hand, sitting on a chair for a long time, with-out exercising brings obesity or overweight. Most game players don't use; instead, they eat junk food, which is not suitable for our health. The combination of eating junk food and not exercising can easily result in obesity in a short period. To minimize these negative impacts, parents need to take specific steps. Firstly, some video games are rated according to their content, so parents must check this and ensure their children are not allowed to have access to unsuitable games. Parents can also set limits on the length of time games are played. Finally, parents should also take an active interest in the games their children are playing so they can find out how they feel about what they are observing. To sum up, there are benefits of computer games, but there are disadvantages too. However, if parents take adequate precautions, the severity of these negative impacts can be avoided.
