Can Violent Toys and Games Effect Kids on how they Act?
Showing Aggression toward a game.



                In the article that I found shows how kids in the age from two through ten can learn much from toys that are violent and video games and how they are also a big influence in kids when they grow up. The article states that growing up with these violent toys can be effective as they grow up and raise their own families. Toys such as action figures, military toys, water guns can make a big impact in many kid ways.  Doctor Marilyn Heins says that “I think everybody can agree that society is too violent” I agree with what she says, id say I agree is because when I grew up it is not the same how the new generation is now.

                Kids are so exposed to more violent as before. Kids have water guns, rubber guns, etc. Those little things set a bad example for kids that show kids violence and how they should use it. Kids use what gun shapes look like and use it as a example of a gun like bananas , twigs, bottles as a substitute as a gun. By kids learning these items in such a young age shows themselves bad examples of growing up. This sets themselves for the future as in family and raising their own family.

                Kids can also affect in by playing video games. Kids play the games and by them playing the games makes they want to do in real life. Also violent video games do lead to kid’s aggression toward others. About 90% shows that kids to the age of 8-16 stay and play video games 13 hours days. Studies show that in the virtual games can affect the aggression in real life.

                I agree with the article and how violent toys and violent games can affect kids on how they act. Some long term effects that they pick up from them can be aggression toward others and can be more violent in real life. I think we as people created a bad environment to the young kids and every new generation by continuing making these toys and video games.
