=**Topic**: Do video games contribute to youth violence= = = =**Thesis statement:**= =I don't think that video games contribute to youth violence because there was violence before all of the violence we have in today's society.the people with violent minds made violent video games so basically its like who ever created it wanted kids to be influenced by it.= = = =**First argument:** I don't think video games contribute to youth violence because there are children that has played (grand deft auto) and has not thought about violence once and plus i have played ( grand deft auto) for at least 4-5 years and never thought about killing anyone or driving crazy around my neighborhood.....or just anything in particular.= = = =**Evidence**: The evidence that i have that supports my thesis statement is that, the arrest rate for Juvenile murders has gone down from 71.9%-49.3% from 1995-2008 but at the same time as the murders has gone down violent video games are arising but there are no more people who has attended a (grand deft auto) in over 13 years= = = =Source: WWW.Video games pro-con.org[1]= =WWW. video-game pro-con.org[2]=

=**Analysis:**= =I don't think video games contribute to youth violence because there are facts that children are not influenced by violent games and there are ratings that show how much have murder cases has gone down while at the same time violent games have gone up but there has been no murder case stating that there has been a (grand deft auto) case= = = = = =Second Argument: I don't think video games contribute to youth violence because it is a fact that children do not choose the games that they play most of the time. Their parents choose their games for them and they choose the ones that have been popular and so that their child can have the latest game out but even thought they probably would get them a violent game, i haven't seen any student participate in any violence or involved with drugs.= = = =Edvidence:= =There has been a test on weather violent games make children violent, an the results came back 10 times better then any other test. The test states that children who play video games may play them very roughly but the kids/ young youth would either(and this is a fact) that they think more about sex and Video game players understand they are playing a game. Their ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality prevents them from emulating video game violence in real life.= =Source:= =[1]= =Analysis:= =There are facts that young youth now-a-days do not get encouraged by violent video games because there has been actual scientific test that children who play violent video games do not come out as evil,mean,and/or a murder so i still say that its not true until i know that those test that scientist took is not real.=

=Third argument:= =There are ratings that state whether young students should or should not play those type of video games, and as i said before it is up to the parents on whether or not they should let their kids play violent games and obviously they do so it shouldn't be a problem on this topic right here=

=Evidence:= =// **Grand Theft Auto** // (commonly abbreviated // **GTA** // ) is a multi-award-winning video game series created in the United Kingdom by Dave Jones, then later by brothers [|Dan Houser] and Sam houser, and game designer Zachary Clarke. It is primarily developed by British developer Rock star north (formerly DMA Design) and published by [|Rockstar Games]. The name of the series is derived from // grand theft auto //, a term referring to [|motor vehicle] theft. =

= Source: = = [1] = = Analysis: = = If there are ratings on the video games that you buy, you should either read it or just buy it as usual because you should read on what the game is about, so that should be the major smart thing to do for your child,nephew,niece, or little cousin if you want to buy that violent games for them. =

= Counter-Argument Number 1: = =//I think that games do contribute to youth violence because my friend was very good before he played that very violent game called (Grand-theft-auto) Now hes badder then ever and hes been going to jail more often like how he's been going to jail often on the games and plus he's been stealing cop cars and and he's been sticking people up just like he does on the game.. so i think that video games...or that video game in particular contribute to youth violence//=

=//How can i rebut to this statement://= =//Well that's your friend not anyone else, you friend should have not took the game so seriously and expect not to get caught on what he was doing, the game is not reality unless you make it a reality your self like he did, if you really want to see the results on young people and video games you should go to Pro-con.org and see if you still disagree with my statement.//=

=//Where did you get the evidence to back up the rebuttal://= =//I Got the evidence off of websites and experience, i have played grand theft auto ever since i was 10 and i still haven't thought about doing anything violent yet.//=

=//Counter-argument Number 2//= =//I still think that it contributes to youth violence because there are more murders now then ever//=

=//How can i rebut to this argument//= =//Murders has went down since from 1995-2008 and it is a fact that grand theft auto's has went down from the year 2000-2012//=

=//where did i get the evidence to back up the rebutal//= =//I still got the evidence from sources on face book and from asking people a lot of questions on video games//=
