Dear Dr. Cottrill,
Violence in video games is teaching young teens to act out. The video clearly shows that after playing a violent video game such as Call of Duty, a teen acts out in his rage after playing the game. It shows what can happen and what could happen when teens, young and old, play a violent video game and how their reaction to the game could affect them.
Through the video I think the viewers can get a better understanding of how the affects of violent video games affect the player of the game. When writing about the violence the reader has to create their own picture and imagine what could happen. But, the video give the reader/watcher a picture and visual of what happens after playing the game. It provides them with the outcome they can see instead of having to imagine.
I choose to play Call of Duty because it is a first-person shooter game and that was considered by ERSB (Entertainment Rating System) the most enticing game that teens are affected by and freak out at the end of the game because I got killed. I then went to the gas station and stole a car at gun point because of my anger after playing the game. The actions in the video are backing up my argument that violent video games are causing violent teens because of my reactions after playing the game.
I think that by doing a visual essay and making my argument for everyone to see will help my argument out greatly. I think this because I can give the viewer a well presented visual of what happens when a teen plays a violent game. It is much better than writing it because the actions in the video speak the words written in the paper.
Sincerely,
Dalton Schutjer
