Grade 10 Journal Entry Question #3Video games are so popular now because of all the different varieties of video games. War games are so popular because of the effect it has on children and teenagers. What they see on television is an influence and thinks they should play these games because they are fun. Personally, games are just games though this might be a bad influence this makes it more realistic for teenagers to see what is happening in our society. Games such as Call of Duty and Socom all deal with the fight against terrorism and war. Though these are just video games people should not have the influence on imitating what these games are doing.
Yes I think war video games desensitize people to war. They portray war as this cool, fun thing when really it's not.
I think war video games aren't good. They encourage war, and make killing people seem fun. Really war is not fun, it is the total opposite. In a real war you must take many things into consideration and thought. You must think about what the weather is like, how much food you have and need, what weapons you need to carry, how you need to dress to hide from your enemies but not your friends, what you need to take with you in case of emergency's, if you have enough ammunition for your weapons.
