Video Game Violence

Violence in video games is always under constant debate. Do video games really promote and influence violence in young adults? With games such as Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, and Halo players feel they have alot of control, superhuman powers. This feeling of power could definitely have some influence in reality for some players and could influence them to make real life decisions in the real world. Recently in the news their has been alot of talk about the influence of video games because of the behavior of young teens and shootings. Obviously gun control comes into play, but the violence in video games just gives them the ideas. Children are being exposed to violent games at younger ages now, and their minds are like sponges. When they see these characters in movies, video games, etc. than they could sometimes feel the need to act out on it in real life.
