    VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE

    Proof of concept presentation

    Jess Bennett
    Proposed Dissertation Enquiry
    For my dissertation I am going to explore violence in video games and how many people think that playing
    curtain video games make you violent. I will explore negative and positive aspects of games to date. I want to
    look at the age range of children who play these games and get a sense of does these games bring out violent
    outbreaks or is it just their up bringing. Some curtain games that are known to be violent but children still play
    them even though they all have a age rating of eighteen. Is there a correlation between real life violence or is
    the real life violent a result of playing video games or just the upbringing of these people. Do these people
    gravitate towards these games?. I will look into the history of some games such as Call of duty and Grand Theft
    Auto and how the company of these games deal with all the complaints of how their games have brained
    washed their children to be violent, and if its true or not. Do different genders respond to violent games
    different to the opposite gender? I will look at people who have interview these creators to get their side of
    video game violence. Do we learn from violent video games or do they rot our brains? Many great games today
    and in the past are violent but memorable, like mortal combat and street fighter. How complaints haven’t
    killed franchises but others it has. I will research further in some games which have died down but others are
    growing in numbers and becoming more popular as the years carry on. How different countries ban games or
    change them to suit there way of living.
    Proposed Chapter 3 Case Studies
    For my Third chapter idea I want look at the affects of video games now and in the past. I want to look at real
    criminal minds who blame video games for their action and how children of curtain ages play violent game to
    an extensive level. Find the reason that some people lose their temper due to playing and some don’t. I want
    to look further in the behaviour of modern day society and how much video games influence the way these
    kids think in the modern day. I also what to look at past behaviour of the few first violent video games (such as
    Mortal combat) and how this one game had so much criticism for being violent, that Lieberman on Feb. 3,
    1994, introduced the Video Game Ratings Act of 1994, which establish to create an industry-wide
    standard for game ratings. I will look in the games that got changes or removed because children
    were copying the way the video games were. As a result in them being violent, aggressive and in
    some cases murdering other. For example Columbine High School shooting. This states that The Two
    responsible were addicted to playing the game Doom and that’s were they got their idea from. There
    are many more stories of this sorts of crimes that in some options are the wrong doing of violent
    videogames.
    Video games that are redeemed to be violent
    and have a high age rating.
