Q134. Do you think that seeing violence in video games or movies
cause people to behave violently?
A. Sample Answer
I don't think seeing violence in video games or movies causes
people to become violent
themselves. People who behave violently often have emotional problems. Even though these kinds of
people are more likely to consume violent media, that does not mean the media itself causes violent
behavior. Correlation
does not mean causation, after all. And secondly,
some people play violent
video games like Halo or Call of Duty simply to relieve stress. With all
of the stresses of modern
society, some teenagers just need to get away and blow off steam. These two reasons are why I don't
think people become violent after watching violent movies or playing violent video games.
