Many people think that videogames are harmful, , should be banned immediately. The most popular argument is that modern computer entertainment promotes violence contributing to affected moral values of
youth. , computer games are in fact useful since there is no that
these products build violent behavior model, while the positive effects include learning along with relaxing potential.
exposure to realistic depiction of violence in games has no effect on human personality.

films in terms of their entertaining and learning capabilities.
, it is clear that such entertainment demonstrates a rather high level of violence due to
increased realism and improved graphics. , it does not mean that they should be banned
since all other art pieces, such as films and books, sometimes demonstrate even higher violence level. Positive
characteristics of electronic games such as relaxation and entertainment need to be studied instead. However, the
appropriate gaming time should be considered since uncontrolled exposure to computer monitor may indeed be
harmful.
