One
thing that I really enjoy and that I’d say I’m passionate about is video games.
I have been playing video game for well over a decade and continue to be an
avid gamer to this day. As an avid gamer you begin to see that there are issues
surrounding gaming, especially for children and there are some that say certain
types of games should be banned.
To start this off all games are
different and contain extremely different content from other games, even in
similar genres. Some are very kid friendly all the way to games where you are chain
sawing enemies in half. Video games use a similar system to movies in which
they have a rating system based on the content of these games to help people
know if a game is appropriate for them or for their kids. There are some who believe
that this is not enough though and think that games with certain content should
be banned. Australia is one of the few countries where the government has both
banned and pre-censored games for its citizens. Some wonder how effective these
kinds of bans are because with the rating system being on every game sold,
someone who is too young cannot buy a game at certain ages. Games that are
mature need someone over 18 in order to purchase them. So how do kids get these
games that their parents consider questionable? Usually it is the parents
buying the games themselves without looking into what the games are actually
like. The inability for kids to buy games without a parent or without parent’s
info, like credit cards, to buy online there is no reason to ban games.
I can’t think of a good conclusion
right now so I’ll just add this in later.
