Do Video Games Really Trigger Aggressive Behavior?

My plan for the Analytical Research Paper is to break down a news segment found in Youtube that pertains to the correlation between violent video games and aggressive behavior in children. In all due respect, I disagree with the news segment's take on the subject. My opinion is that violent video games may trigger suttle violent tendecies in the short run, but that doesn't mean that children who do play violent video games will eventually become serial killers and crazed maniacs. I've been playing violent video games since I was learning how to tie my shoes. My favorite games to play were Super Mario, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat since the age of 6. Surprisingly I can now claim that I am not a maniac who seeks to destroy everything he sees.

I reached this opinion quite early in my childhood. When I was little, my close friends in kindergarten would explain how they couldn't play games like Mortal Kombat or Duke Nuke 'Em because their parents told them they would be bad children. Yet as kindergarteners, we would go to our houses and sneak hours of Mortal Kombat fatalities and brutalites, maybe play a little Killer Instinct on the side or play a random zombie shooting game, all WITHOUT PARENTAL SUPERVISION! Funny thing is, we're all in college doing pretty well, and none of us have criminal records. Best of all, we're still pretty good at the games we used to play deep in the depths of the basement

As my audience reads the final sentence of my research paper, I want them to sigh and then I want them to realize two very important things. The first one is that he or she was able to read all the way through the piece without putting it down to watch tv or some other activity. The second thing is that regardless of what side of the issue you have about the topic, each side has its own biases. I want the reader to see and understand how well I've been able to expose the bias of my primary source and either reinforce or change their previous opinions of the topic. If these two things are achieved, I will be a happy writer and a happy man.

Once again a fresh batch of burnt rice served to perfection. Enjoy and have a great day ;-)
