Influence of video games on children’s violence
Introduction.
Nintendo, like many things in life, are a way to spend the time we usually use young. In general, many of their games are healthy and harmless, which while used with order and do not become a vice, have nothing wrong;However, there are people who abuse them and spend days, months, and even whole years playing them, which is bad in their entirety because it becomes a vice that destroys many things;among them health, character and connection with God of the person who plays them.
Although many of these games are not bad for themselves, they become distractions that separate us from our first love (God), and make us doubt whether we are following our own will or that of God. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons the word of God does not tell us about whether a Christian can or should play Nintendo, but if we have other principles that are in the Bible which we can apply today.
Developing.
The first point to consider is the use of time. The Bible teaches us about "stewardship" (the administration of all things). This points that humans are butlers or administrators of the things of God. Time does not escape human administration, since God gave time to use it according to our needs. Which makes anyone who does not know how to administer their time a "fool". Which makes us doubt: Does playing Nintendo redeem us time?.
Personally I do not think that it can be called a good use of time, because many people have said of their own experience that video games can become both an addiction and an obsession, making us waste time and not letting us concentrate on thingsthat really matter, how to do good things and help others, which are fundamental things that we must try in our lives as good Christians.
Another point is the care of the mind. Sacred Scriptures point out that the mind should be taken care of by avoiding bad influences;Unfortunately many of the Nintendo contain violent issues, contrary to the biblical message (examples would be the Nintendo of Mortal Kombat, Doom, Mario, Grand Theft Auto and Pokémon) and although those who entertain themselves with these video games so full of violence and inappropriate images perhapsSay that "they are just games" and that "they do not cause any damage".
It should not be fooled, since as the Bible says, even for its actions the boy is announced as to whether his activity is pure and straight, this is very important, since violence in the mind is as hurtful asThe violence of the hands, or as it appears in the Bible in him you will not hate your brother in your heart;You will reason with your neighbor, so that you do not participate in his sin, to complement the idea, we must add what Jesus Christ tells us in Matthew 5: 21-22, that Ira Killer can lead to man angry at the judgment of God sosoon as a physical blow.
The violence that he exhibits towards another person can be brought on himself by God. All these biblical quotes clearly persuade us that for our good, we stay away from those who, being influenced by the violence of the games and can only think about it.
Conclusions.
Continuing about the violence taught and caused by video games, it is important to mention how most murderers who have initiated massacres or shootings have links with addiction to video games of violence (such as those previously mentioned). What these games teach is a danger especially for young people and children, because they still do not have their personality, character and values well formed and are easily influenced to change their behavior. For example, these games teach them everything about weapons, from their names, which are more powerful, such as assembling them, such as pointing them, such as shooting them, such as changing bullets, etc.;In addition to this he creates a curiosity for
