    This annotated bibliography includes two sources relevant to discussing whether violent video games cause aggressive behaviors in children. The first source is a journal article arguing that concerns over children's entertainment influencing them in negative ways are not new, as newspapers over a century ago worried about violence in adventure novels and movies. The second source is a psychiatric research article that broadly examined literature on video games and aggression as of 2007, finding some studies linked violent video game play to increased hostile behaviors but not direct causation of violent acts.

    imagery in the cheap adventure novels sold to boys. In more recent times, the focus

    shifted to movies and television, and it now hovers around violent video games.

    This article is relevant to my paper because it asserts that violence in terms of children's

    playtime and toys has been an on-going issue since before video games were invented,

    which supports my claim that video games cannot be held responsible for aggressive

    behaviors in children. The second paragraph of each annotation explains


    how the source is relevant to the paper or project.

    Poiter, G., & Starcevic, V. (2007). Are violent video games harmful? Australasian Psychiatry,

    15(5), 422-426. doi:10.1080/10398560701463343. Leave a space between your citation and your
    annotation.

    Psychiatric researchers Guy Poiter and Vladan Starcevic conducted a broad examination

    of the literature on video games and aggression that was available in 2007 when this

    article was published. Their analysis includes a study that found that adolescents who

    play violent video games also exhibit more hostility and aggressive behavior through

    fights, arguments, and poor school performance. The authors also reviewed studies
    involving individuals playing violent video games in a laboratory setting that demonstrate

    a connection between the video game play and aggressive feelings and behaviors. They

    conclude that while available evidence does not demonstrate a direct causal connection

    between violent play and violent acts, it does suggest that violent play has the potential to

    worsen "hostile" and "antisocial” personal traits in individuals already possessing violent

    tendencies. Leave a space between the paragraphs of your annotation.

    The research article is crucial to my claim of violet video games not being the cause of violence being
    video games caused violence.
