Video Game Benefits
In 1972 when pong was created there was nothing the game offered other than entertainment. As time passed and technology improved there was a variety of different types of games that offered different benefits. With the creation of different games such as first person shooters and role- playing games they began to offer more than just entertainment. Although video games can cause sleep deprivation. Video games allow people to improve their leadership, teach cooperation, and help socialize with other people. Therefore video games provide players with positive benefits.
Some may argue being confined in a room may make people antisocial, however video games enhance the ability to socialize. Playing video games gives the ability to socialize online. When playing games such as Rainbow Six Siege & Fortnite, players need to communicate in order to have an advantage during the game. In addition players can create clubs to socialize. The groups allow people that have similar taste in games to communicate and play together. Clearly video games promote socializing
Although video games can cause aggression in people video games tend to create leadership skills. In cooperation games such as Dota & League of Legends create leadership skills by promoting strategies and cooperation to win the game. An example of leadership is when playing over watch a player needs to make plans in order to successfully complete the objective. Leadership is improved because player cooperate while playing video games. Leader ships is improved because players need to cooperate and create strategies in order to succeed.
Playing video games help people be more cooperative. In nearly all multiplayer games player need to cooperate in order to win. For example in minecraft and any Modern Call of Duty game improve cooperation. In Minecraft players cooperate in order to build better buildings and in order to progress. While in Call of Duty players cooperate in several ways such as provide each other with supplies and helping complete objectives. Clearly cooperation is improved during online games.
Playing video games has many benefits to improve a players life. Players learn to socialize and improve their leadership and cooperation skills. Video games have become a part of the youths culture and can influence them in a positive or negative way.
I agree with this this argument, video games are viewed as if it only teaches people to be violent instead of the development of morals like leadership.
