According to the film, what are some pros and cons of playing video games for individuals and societies?
In the film, it proposed a lot of ideas on the positive side of playing video games. First of all, it is an education tool for teens. No matter for curing psychological problem, convince people for specific purpose (join Army) or learning to express themselves via screen, it is an attractive multi-task and practical class for teenagers.It is a creative development to provoke teens or children to learn. It totally influences young generation. They can ease the pressure in the virtual world. On the other hands, they may get lose in the game world. Some game players isolated from their family.
According the film, is there any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world? Do you agree?
The experiment shown in the film concluded that it is just a game. Although teens feel aggressive when you see it in first person mode, they won't do it because you only feel it. It is harmless. I believed that I won't kill someone because I love playing CS. I only enjoy to killing people due to the role I play in the game but not myself.
Should governments have the rights to ban a certain game or place age restrictions on it? Why ?
I believed some kind of games have their value to be an art. And its value cannot replace by other media. In addition, some games still have their educational function obviously.
Interview
My classmates agree that games can make sense of accomplishment and satisfactory due to completed mission. And they consider if the game can help us to think more than the game. Most of them believed that the game did nothing on encouraging any kind of behavior.
Shek Po Lam: You seems like have a totally different view of me. But somehow I also agree of your opinions on games. As you support games would not encourage aggressive value in reality, I think you explanation more on it would be better and more convincing. Also, I think you should stated that government have rights or not. Anyway, nice passage since I am little bit convinced. :)
