For individuals, it gives another platform for people to perform theirself. They can earn money and have great achievements by playing videogames as a career. Maybe those players can have more confidence by playing videogames as they can perform theirself through videogames and finish those missions that they can never do in the reality. I think this is fair to offer a chance for players to gain a sense of superiority that maybe effective to raise their confident in the real life. However, I said "it maybe". Those career players have to give up many other elements in their life to exchange their "achievements". And for individuals, it may leads players to addict in the games as they can only find those pleasure and sense of superiority in videogames. It may cause players try to avoid the reality that full of failure and dangerous.
For the societies, it shows videogames can bring training of soldier in the film. The army designed a game that related to the knowledge of military affairs.It can make people gain more information and understanding of military affairs.And it can encourage people to join the army.In the other side,videogame do bring negative influence to societies.For example,the addicted -teen- player who has been mentioned in the film,killed people with a gun in school. Videogames' themes always involved violent.It turns into an encouragement of violent as players have to win via using violent,like killing.
b) According the film, is there any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world? Do you agree?
Yes, there are some evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world.
For example, there were some career-players introduced in the film. There work is playing computer game and their responsibilities are winning the games. This would make them isolated with the real world as their purpose of playing digital games is earning money and gaining achievements.Their life just have their jobs-playing games and barley nothing else.
Also, the film talks about some players killed people without reason. The only reason that can explain this is: games that they play express negative messages to them-people who kill other is hero and it is nothing to be violent.Therefore,some players murdered others to achieve success.
In the film, there was a game called "Postal" which experimented by laboratory.It showed that players who play it would have violent impulsion inside their brain. In this evidence, we can see that digital games contain elements which can bring aggressive message,feeling to players.
Certainly that I agree with this. People who are digital games players always addict to the games.They even don't have any feeling while they playing games.My brother is an great example! He just can't hear other's noise,even we just talk to him next after him. He just ignores any things that outside the game.Also,he tried to give up his study because of addiction of games.Therefore,I really agree about digital games encourage anti-social actions.
c) Should governments have the right to ban certain games? Why or why not?
Although I think some digital games bring negative affects, I think the government should not ban certain games.
It is because the people should have human right to play/develop the game, and I think the government have no permission to stop or avoid it. Also, it is so difficult to prove that playing video games is the main reason of causing violent crime (e.g. murdering), maybe it happens because of other reasons.
However, I think the government should set some limitations of playing certain games because it really affect the growth of children. For example, the government can set up the age limitation, to avoid the child play or be touch with those video games. To avoid the violate crime, the government also can have more promotion and education on public.
