Violent Crime and Video Games 

The relation of violent crime today's society with video games is exaggerated more than ever before. As video game images become increasingly more realistic and graphic, people are beginning to make more and more assumptions that violent video games are causing violent crimes. Most would say that there is a link between the violence depicted in those games and violence in real life but I disagree to a certain point. The way I look at it is in order for a person to turn a video game into a real life scenario they must have sustaining mental issues. I do agree with the fact that a violent video game could be a trigger to a demented person's mind when it comes to violent wants or thoughts. Violent video games are known for causing a person to become almost "numb" to violence, giving the player an obtuse outlook on violent crimes. The main issue I disagree upon when it comes to violent video games would be people blaming mental issues and crimes on a stupid video game, of course that may contribute, but to me there is no way that a video game can cause someone to commit a seriously violent act such as murder.
