A CALL FOR HELP : Allowing Minors Inside the Internet Cafe in Gensan ?
It was schocking and disappointing when I accidentally visited an internet cafe yesterday. When I arrived at the internet cafe not to use any of the computer but to load my phone a very shocking situation dumped in my eyes. The internet cafe was fully occupied by young and minor children. I noticed two children quarreled each other for the other one was slapped by his friend at the back. They were shouting each other using bad words at a very young age while pressing the key board of the computer playing computer games. Another minor captured my attention he was so faint and seemed to be so mad while pressing the the computer keyboard. I was so shocked and had in mind how could this internet cafe owner manage to see those young minors suffering from anger and madness inside their cafe because of the video games, and even mimic those foul words like "puta" and "yawa" when they hit high scores? . My nerves and veins quivered as i heard those words. When I made research I found out that computer video game has definitely can contribute adverse effect to child's behavior.Research by Douglas Gentile and Craig Anderson , indicates that violent computer games have an even stronger effect on children’s behaviour because of its interactivity.
• The General Aggression Model (GAM) has been developed to integrate recent findings in aggression theory and research with earlier models. In this model, the performance of aggression is based on learning, activation and application of aggression-related knowledge stored in memory.
• It suggests that violent media causes short-term increases in aggression. Various studies were performed to prove this statement, involving exposing young adults to violent computer games, and testing their reaction to stimuli. The result was a quantifiable impact on the individual’s ‘internal’ state, the conclusion being that “violent media increases aggressive cognition (including previously learned aggressive scripts and aggressive perceptual schemata), by increasing arousal, or by creating an aggressive affective state.” (http://daniela.supersized.org/archives/42-The-negative-effects-of-violent-computer-games-on-children.html)
