Dialogue Essay
Me: Hello everyone and thanks for joining us this evening! On today’s episode we have three
special guest, first let me introduce to you Craig Anderson,phD Director of the center for the
study of violence, Next we have Lawrence Kutner,phD, and last is Temmy from New Times
paper. This evening we will be having a debate and discuss about the controversial issue of
how violent video games contribute to youths violence.
Me: So,Craig , what is your opinion about how violent video games contribute to youth
Violence?
Craig: (smiles) I believe violence game has a lot to do in the life of our youth. The results
Overall have been fairly consistent across types of studies and visual media like television
, films, and video games. There is a significant relation between exposure to media violence
and aggressive behavior .
Lawrence Kutner (shake head ) That is not true, it’s clear that the big fears bandied about in the
Press that violent video games make children significantly more violent in the real world;that
Children engage in the illegal, immoral, sexist, and violent acts they see in some of these
Game are not supported by simplistic form. That should make sense to anyone who thinks about
It. After all, millions of children and adults play these games, yet the world has not been reduced
To chaos and anarchy.
Temmy:(shake head at Lawrence) Lawrence has brought up a very good and Interesting
Argument, there are studies to prove her claims to be true and I think we should all come up with
What we can do to prevent the violence in video games with the children and youth.
Me: Good and great opinion from the three of you. Craig what do think about what Lawrence
Said and you mention about aggressive behavior , can you explain more on that?
Craig: Sure, exposing children and youth to violent visual media in physical aggressive
Against another person. By physical I mean behavior that is intended to harm another
Person physically , such as hitting with a first or some object. A single belief exposure
To violent media can increase aggressive in the immediate situation. Repeated exposure leads
To general increase in aggressive over time. This relation between media violence and
Aggressive behavior is causal.
Me: Well this is where we will stop for this evening, I agree with all of you in one way
Or the other. I feel like we could agree on what we allow our children and youth should
Watch or the kind of video games they play. I want to thank all of you for coming to the
Show this evening . I hope to meet with you anytime we need to do more of this debate!
Thank you all for your participation.
