Do Video Games Make Kids Violent?

This article poses the question: Do video games make kids violent? It starts off with some news about somebody who gunned down twenty-seven people. That starts a debate about violent video games at the same time. Senator Joe Lieberman stated "The violence in the entertainment culture, particularly with the extraordinary realism to video games and movies now, does cause vulnerable young men, particularly, to be more violent". This topic has been taken up to the Supreme Court. It has been an argument going back and forth dealing with the idea that violent video games can cause people to actually become violent themselves. There are people who defend against that and say that it is no different than reading a violent scene in a book.  Then there are people who back up that topic by saying that violence in video games are in fact different than reading violence from a story. They state that in video games, you get rewarded for being violent. Although in the end, there is no actual way to prove that violent video games can make a person violent.

This is a pretty interesting topic to read about, so if you have the time, I'd suggest you take a look at it.
