When sitting down and trying
to think about a concept that I would find interesting to research that has to
do with New Media I was considering all my options. I started to think about
things that make a difference in my life and things that I tend to be
passionate about. Among those topics I chose to do my research on the violent
media and gaming aspect of evolution of new media. Video games and the like
have made evolutionary steps to provide a media experience that captures its
audience. As the time progressed so did the graphical nature and the capabilities
of the games/consoles themselves. They can be associated with learning; they
can be stress relievers and/or just fun in general. One thing that people need
to accept that in this world of evolutionary technology is the video games (or
type of) are starting to play a major part in child/teenagers up to self sufficient
adults lives.
One thing that
really stood out to me when wanting to do a research project on this is the
primary fact that violent media and video games get accused of corrupting the
human mind and deterring them onto a path of violence. I want to show that
violent media is not responsible for the mass violence that is done by these
teenagers that cause such trauma around the world. Restricting the use or
placing bans on this type of media is not a solution but an excuse to avoid the
real problem here.
