Games- A small argument of the recreational activity.

 

Games.
A recreational activity for the mind and the body. Many people think that these games are violent and has influence over the human mind. Yes, that is true. Some games are violent. Some games do effect the human mind. There are some games like Counter Strike, where blood and gore is everywhere. However, there are some games like Starcraft and Natural Selection 2, where it is a real time strategy(RTS) genre, which improves the brain. Now, I ask to every person in the world who still think games are bad.


Is it?

Many people in Korea believe that games should be banned and restricted, but I believe that games aren't that bad as you think. I have four reasons for this outburst.

First, every kinds of games can release stress.
 A research says that people play games to release their stress out.
This contributes in helping the human mind to relax or get sharper. This also results in making your brain more better than before.

Second, It is said that games like Starcraft 2 or Natural Selection 2 actually make the brain work harder, because you always have to think in a real-time strategy game like those two. This results in making your brain more active, which effects your grades to become higher.

Third, games can make people social. Many parents still think that in these days, kids are still playing around with soccer balls or tag or any other physical activities. Well, the truth is, it's not.

Fourth, Dr. Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology research center, says that gamers do approximately 10 to 20% more better in perceptual and cognitive activities then non-gamers, and that kids that enjoy games score better in creativity tests.

As you can see, games aren't that bad at all! Think: everything except for a few things were all made as a purpose for making humans happier. Games are one of those things. The only thing wrong about is the people who use it. Based on my reasons, I hope you consider my point of view in games.
