I do not think video game violence contributes to kids violence kids see violence everyday what's the harm of a little cartoon violence. I also believe that it is a parents job to educate their kids about violence and so its there job to set their kids straight. certain violent video games are age restricted for a reason, its the parents fault for buying these games for their kids.

i believe that video game violence does not contribute to youth violence because in 2008 97% of 12-17 year olds that played 10 of the top 20 best selling games did not consist of violence. Their is no casual relationship that has been found between video games and social violence. many argue that violent video games serve as an outlet to express aggressive emotions.

I think video games do not influence kids even though studies have shown emotional arousal in kids and teens. How ever they can not that the video games affect the behavior of the kids and teens.

My next point is studies show that violent video games show __emotional__ arousal NOT aggressive behavior. in recent study teens played two different games one with and one without violence. one the given time to play the games were up the students were given an M.R.I of the brain and showed emotional arousal. It connect the ideas because the people over seeing the study found no specific emotion to be altered so they cannot prove if the arousal is lasting or not or in fact if it affects the behavior of the children and teens.

in more recent studies researchers specifically tried to get to the root of the chicken-or-egg problem -- do children become more aggressive after playing video games or are aggressive kids more attracted to violent videos? It's a murky -- and controversial -- issue. Many studies have linked violence in TV shows and video games to violent behavior. But when states have tried to keep under-18 kids from playing games rated "M" for mature, the proposed restrictions have often been challenged successfully in court.
