CA Discussion - Video Gaming (part 2)

(Kindly read the post below this one to get a better idea of what the post is about)

I agree with topic that video gamers will benefit the society and there is not much harmful effects on gamers.

If the gamers have a sane mindset, they would not be addicted to the video games and would not play more and more when they are not supposed to. I also would like to take the opportunity to ask readers of this blog if they play violent video games before. I am sure that some would say yes, and of those of you, none of you went to the streets to kill people due to video gaming. Therefore, how can video gaming lead to violence?

There are also many benefits of video gaming. Video games are an excellent way to relieve stress. They provide a fun and social form of entertainment. Reading a book or watch a movie are ways to get our mind off of our problems. Basically, they allow people to be transported to a fictional world for awhile. Video gaming works the same way as well or even better, so why should video gaming be criminalized?

Video gaming is also mentally good for children. It encourages teamwork, cooperation and creativity when they are playing with others. Video gaming will also improve logical thinking that had been neglected in these days. Nearly all video games train our mind in thinking logically. Video gaming increases children's self-confidence and self-esteem as they master games too.

Quicker decision making is trained when you play video games. Most games give you a time limit on reaching a decision, either in the form of a formal timer or in the form of somebody rushing at you with a shotgun or sword. Video gaming also develop skills in reading, mathematics and problem-solving.

Video games can improve eye-hand coordination, reaction time and fine motor skills. Researchers found that surgeons who spent at least three hours a week playing video games made about 37% less mistakes in laparoscopic surgery and performed the task 27% faster than their counterparts who did not play video games. This shows that eye-hand coordination is improved when we play video games.

From the above arguments, it is actually enough to show that there are many benefits in video gaming.
