Shall computer games be prohibited?
Even if the computer was designed mainly as a help in human’s work, it has been very quickly regarded as an excellent way of relaxing. These days PCs are able to play music, video animations and movies. This causes that they are slowly replacing radio, TV, cinemas and even theatres. However, it’s more than certain that computers cannot completely substitute these elements, and it’s even better. A very intensive form of relaxing in front of the PC has its own way of amusing people: computer games.
A PC game is an application which allows a player to become somebody (or something) extraordinary, which allows them to challenge other human players via the internet. There aren’t only games played via the net but let me concentrate only on them right now.
There are many groups of PC games and the most popular one is the kind, where the creators allow you to become someone supernatural. Some kind of person you are not able to become in real life: a private detective who has to arrest dangerous criminals, a commander of an army who must lead his forces to victory, a pilot of a spacecraft fighting the alien fleet... The possibilities are almost infinite.
Like everything which has any influence on our lives, computer games have some bright and dark sides. Besides being a good form of relaxing, they have some more advantages:
First of all they shape our imagination, increase knowledge and sharpen our reflexes. They can also teach responsibility and there are many other useful qualities for our future life skills. For instance economic simulators are an excellent introduction to real economic science. Despite horrible news from newspapers and TV they are a good way to reduce stress.
On the other hand, though, computer games are an incredibly addictive hobby.
There is one of many striking cons which cannot be disregarded: violence. Some games shouldn’t be played by children, because of the bad influence they have on their personality. Even TV nor newspapers can’t stand a month without an article about teenagers who murdered some people, because they played a game the ‘kill as much as you can’ type. Well, there’s always a bit of truth in these stories, but it’s impossible for parents to always control their children when they use their PCs.
Nowadays there are a lot of so called “School-Runnings”. Young people rush into a school and try to kill as many people as they can. Most of them kill themselves after their massacre. I think most of you know the “Bowling for Columbine” massacre, or the School-Running in Erfurt.
As we cannot prohibit using knives because somebody uses them to stab victims, we cannot prohibit computer games either even if they could be dangerous when they are played by emotionally immature persons. You have to see that number of bad news about computer game players in relation. There are over 50 million people playing via the internet at this moment. The newspapers and television just pick out these bad examples and compare them with the rest of the community. People who aren’t familiar with that scene get a creepy impression and transfer the problems of the addicts or the assassins mentioned to the rest of the community.
