Violent Video Games and Toys

I think that violent video games and toys are teaching kids that violence is just a game. I kind of agree and disagree that banning the video games and toys is right, but at the same time is not. I think that it is right, because when little kids see their older brothers playing those kinds of video games, they think it is right to do those things. On the other hand banning these toys can be bad, because modern day kids –especially boys- like to play games such as paintball, I personally don’t find this game so bad, because you are just shooting paint at each other, and it looks fun. But at the same time it is actually kind of violent, and it is telling kids that even throwing paint at each other it is right. Kids since they are born are taught to respect and to treat each other as they would want to be treated, and by playing this kind of games their parents are just telling them the contrary and that is just wrong.

There is a lot of violence going on in the world, and when little kids are playing games such as the ones that you need hit someone so you can take their car, they are going to learn that violence is correct and that there is nothing wrong with hitting people.

There is just one problem, people actually think and expect that if they have a daughter the girl needs to be all girly and the boy needs to be really boyish, this is a problem, because when the toys companies design toys they design toys such as Barbies and Pollies for girls and little soldiers and cars for boys. And I think t that it is right to have different types of toys for boys and girls. But parents cannot expect kids to be nonviolent when they only like to play violent games, and they give them the game as Christmas presents.

I think that parents who block the violent TV channels to their kids are dumb, because kids need to know what is right and what is wrong. For example, when I was little my mom didn’t let me see the movie Troy, and other really violent movies, but as time passed, she started letting me see more, and more movies, because I grew older, but I when I see those violent movies, I don’t start saying “cool” or things like that when people die. But kids who were introduced to violent games since they were really little and play violent games daily always say “cool” when someone dies.

In conclusion I think that banning them would be wrong because boys would not have fun playing with girl toys, but I can say that the toy companies could produce less violent games, so parents don’t complain.
