Every Day life consists of electronics, but to confirm it any one who has spent time playing video games, or being on a computer has realized that the feeling of these devices are a big influence not just in adults but a high influence in young children. Video games may seem exciting due to there explicit graphics and volume at first, but as getting familiar with any particular game we realize that there is more to the game then just the 3D graphics. Video games that are not educational seem boring to young children which causes children to seek games that are more intense, but as indicated statistics say that 90% of kids devote hours of week playing such Rated R video games rather then Educational.

Aggression as it's defined that it is meant to cause harm and an excellent example of kids leading to aggression is the Columbine High School Massacre, because it showed that these children were under the influence of illegal drugs, and would also listen to violent films, music, and mainly play violent video games. A perfect example of a rated R video game is Grand Theft Auto this game has content which include gangs, shootings, rape, stealing. Do you actually think that it's appropriate for young children to be playing this type of video game? No I honestly feel that the manufactures should take it off the market. Many children are being influenced by these games and are doing such crimes like the Columbine Massacre.

Violent films have a major influence on crime, for example A certain movie which is called Scarface as well as any other movies that deals with mobsters has Rated R content Which shows guns, drugs, killings of that nature. Many young children tend to follow in the footsteps of those high rated movies which cause them to join gangs, do drug etc. Another perfect example of a violent film is a television show that was aired which is called Beavis &Butthead this TV show had major influence on children committing crime. For example on one episode of this film it showed that they burned down a home and a local kid from my home town that I grew up in had followed in his footsteps and burned down his home which needless to say they stayed homeless and had to start from Zero.

Illegal drugs are consumed each day by young children and whether or not they are able to purchase it they still find a way to consume it and by that if they have steal, or even consume over the counter high dosage drugs children will do whatever it takes to get that high as they call
