    Why Violence in Entertainment,

    Is Good
    By Joe, Deanna, Rhys, Almu and Tom

    Playing violent video games is no more likely to be


    damaging to young childrens behavior than those
    considered harmless, an Oxford University study
    suggests.

    (J Bingham. 2015)

    Violence is a mechanic in most videogames, take for example:

    Videogames:
    Doom Extreme Violence Able to commit crime with no
    consequence.
    Crash Bandicoot Comedic Violence Violence is a game
    mechanic which has been watered down into something
    non-toxic for younger audiences .

    Its Managed

    Now Sid, don't


    you blame the
    movies. Movies
    don't create
    psychos. Movies
    make psychos
    more creative!
    (Scream 1996)

    We hypothesized if people have aggressive


    traits to begin with they will process violent
    media in a very different way as compared to
    non-aggressive people - a theory supported
    by these findings.
    (Dr A Klien. 2014)

    Schindler's
    List and Saving Private
    Ryan are two R-rated
    films that educators have
    found helpful to teaching
    aspects of World War II,
    O'Neil says.
    (D Tang. 2011)

    "Saving Private Ryan" says things about war that are as


    complex and difficult as any essayist could possibly
    express, and does it with broad, strong images, with
    violence, with profanity, with action, with
    camaraderie.
    (R Ebert. 1988)

    The bottom line is that for violent movies and video


    games, we just do not know the relationship
    between viewing or playing and aggression in the
    real world. Research to date does not inform us.
    (Massachusetts General Hospital. 2012)

    There is no link Between Violence in Entertainment,


    And Violence in People.
    There have been multiple studies into the correlation between
    violent traits in people, developing due to violent medias, a large
    majority of which have been debunk and proven false.
    The only way violent media could influence people is by giving
    people career ideas, such as people performing in sport.
    The argument has gone on for so long, and almost all of the time
    the argument has favoured the side of there is no correlation.

    Violent Behaviour in Sport is never put there,


    Unintentionally
    In Roman Times the first form of violent human expression,
    was still controlled, despite the nature of the activity.
    Sports like Martial Arts, Rugby/American Football and Ice
    Hockey embrace violence as part of the game, but is
    managed so it never gets out of hand.
    Violence is taken into consideration when the sport is
    created, that is why we have Rules.

    I grew up as a hardcore competitive athlete. I


    learned to cultivate perseverance to run the
    extra mile at full speed, teamwork to pass the
    ball, and a disciplined work ethic to challenge
    myself to the next level.
    (R S Yanklowitz. 2013)

    Solving a problem where there is no problem


    It was one of the hallmark proposals of Clintons Senate era, that
    selling violent games to the underage should be criminalized.
    Together with Senator Lieberman, the two crafted the Family
    Entertainment Protection Act, this was never made law.
    She was trying to find a solution for a problem that never really
    existed, this idea that games are some kind of dark influence over
    an entire generation of children.

    Family Entertainment Protection Act


    A prohibition on selling games to minors, where retailers could be heavily
    fined for selling M or AO games to those under 17
    An independent analysis of the ESRBs ratings system to figure out if it was
    actually accurate
    Authority for the FTC to investigate misleading game ratings
    Authority for consumers to register complaints with the FTC for misleading
    game ratings
    An audit of retailers including possible secret shoppers to see if underage
    kids can buy M or AO games from stores

    Over 150 million Americans (and 71% of teens) play


    video games. There have been 71 mass shootings
    between 1982 and Aug. 2015, seven of which (9.8%)
    involved shooters age 18 or younger.
    (Videogames.Procon. 2016)

    The Major Facts


    Violence is managed whenever it is an issue.
    Its is heathy for people to have expression, rather than keep it all to themselves.
    This argument has been disproven multiple times, and still is being disproven with little
    effort.
    There is no correlation between the mental state of people performing acts of Human
    Atrocities and violent medias effecting them.

    Violence is an attribute in every single human


    being, it exists and is controlled to a healthy
    degree by the large majority of the population.
