The topic of my research paper that I chose to do was how violent video games affect the behavior of children and teens. I am exploring the behavior that is brought upon children and teens who play violent video games and how their behavior changes compared to children and teens who do not play violent games. I chose to do this topic because if it is becoming a problem of behavior then this should really be discussed and brought up in conversation. Mostly parent should not allow their children at a young age to play these violent games if it is affecting their behavior badly because it might cause them to act very aggressive and violent. This is an important matter that should really be brought up because it can help with analyzing how children who play violent video games have different behaviors than those that don’t play them. The effects of violent video games are a lot more serious than you think.
