Topic- How does gaming effect a person, is it negative or positive?
know- I know video games are all hated upon by parents, teachers, adults in general hate video games and believe video games negatively impact us kids/teens and our health because all we do is sit and stare at a screen. what they don’t know is gaming takes a lot of skill and not just everyone can game. Theres the casual players, and then there’s the super competitive players. The casual players play for fun and to enjoy themselves with friends or alone. The competitive players (which is how I describe myself) always want to win and be better and do better. Gaming takes a lot of mental skill in order to out smart or out play the opponents who are all real people, just like me, playing against each other to see who’s on top. Ive also made a lot of friends through gaming and have teamed with them through the years.
want to learn- I want to learn how “negatively” does gaming actually effect you because I believe its much less than how my parents claim it to be. also how does it effect you physically over time because I know sitting hunched over isn’t the best thing to do for hours. How long should you play? should you be exorsizing between hours? does the time of day effect you (day time grinders vs night time grinders). is there any studies that show that gaming actually helps you? How does gaming effect mental health like battling mental illnesses.
learned- I learned from the little research I conducted that video games can help with depression or anxiety and can make peoples moods be more positive. Gaming is a form of relaxation in a way. Also the best thing for you to do is stretch every hour when you game to help you not get any back problems.
still want to know- I still have many questions to answer from my want to learn and will be looking forward to learning more about and researching about.
Hamood, there are a lot of articles and even videos and television shows on the pros and cons of gaming. How much is too much? Is competitive gaming where players get paid an actual job as opposed to a leisure activity? Questions such as these may help you decide whether in the course of your essay you want to come down on one side or the other as to whether gaming is beneficial or detrimental. Whatever your response, make sure you state how it AFFECTS a person, not EFFECTS. This might be a good time to look up the definitions of these words. Overall, this is an excellent response, and it’s looks like you have a lot to research to do, so you may proceed with the topic for your paper.
