Agree: When i read the sheet, the phrase that impressed me the most is the statement: "We're not just teaching kids to kill. We're teaching them to like it". I agree with this statement because right now, there're so many companies that created games that are violent. Not only that, they're also advertise their violent games on the T.V, so everybody could see it. All the kids could see those advertisements, and it would have a really bad impression to their mind. The thing that mostly occurs on these games is killing, fighting, or even sexuality. And these things are not appropriate at their ages, because they're too young to understand that these are just fake. Killing could appears everywhere to kids' minds, and it could stick to their head, and it would form a bad personality for the kids.
Disagree: Besides all things that I agree with Crossman's opinions, there're still some points that i don't agree with him. Crossman compared children's life to soldier's life, that are they have to live in a dark place. But to me, there's a big difference between these two lives. To children, they could see all violent games, or even sexuality, and the only bad thing could happen is when they memorized it and do it. But there's a really small amount of kids who tried to kill people, because they're not strong enough. Besides that, there is no big force to push them to kill people. But for soldiers' life are going to be different. They were trained by the government or by the armies, and they have to kill people (mostly are bad people) if that is a mission from the government. Soldiers have a big force to push them to kill something, and it would be serious.
Khoi, you have a very good answer. Although, my opinion about soldiers and kids are different from you, I think the reasons you disagree are great.
ReplyDeletevideo games taught me to be lazy to im not gonna read ur answer so idk if im gonna agree or not but good job on writing a lot of words up there because im not good at writing a lot of words
ReplyDeleteNice answer. I can see that you are interesting in the sentence that David Grossman said. However, I disagree with you when you say game advertisement make kids have bad impression to their mind. Companies are advertising games to convince kids to buy it. They won't have bad impression about it, maybe they even like it.
