Why are video games considered to increase violent behavior..

Because of certain shooting incidents (in America and other countries) such as the:-

1. 1999 Columbine High School massacre
2. 2007 Virginia tech massacre
3. 1966 University of Texas massacre

After the events it was falsely concluded that as most of the attackers played violent computer games it had to be the source of their anger.

Instead it was discovered from recent studies that kids play games to get rid of their aggressive feelings in a safe manner.The games lets them forget about hard-work and worries of life and at times helps them become more peaceful. Also games helped children with social or learning dis-abilities to start relating and talking to their peers.

  2. You need to link to your sources when you refer to studies
    Make sure you paraphrase the main relevant details of the studies in your own words
