Writing a Casual Argument
The workload this semester seems to be endless. After just having turn in my Rhetorical Analysis here I am again with another assignment. At first I started to panic because everything seems to be piling up. However after thinking about it I can have some fun with this assignment .With this particular essay we have a little more creative freedom them with some of the others. After thinking about what I would write about for the entire English class I finally came up with a topic.
This is something we as women all wonder about, you have to admit it. If you live with any teenage boys in your house hold, you have friends, kids of family friends, or you know teenage boys in general you’ll notice that for many of them of their great loves are video games. Now I’m not saying this is the case for all teenage boys but most people would admit there are a lot of teenage boys who spend endless hours at things like Xbox. Playing games like call of duty ,or grand theft auto. I’ve seen some of the teenage boys that I know (yes I realize girls do this too) spend up to five hours nonstop playing games like call of duty, and I have to say . I just don’t get it. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s just not my thing so I don’t understand why it’s so fascinating to play a soldier and run around a battle field in an online game shooting other online players and getting aggravated to the point that you start screaming profanities and throwing things at the wall because “you were trying to prestige and some *unmentionable profanity* just killed you”. Am I the only one that see’s something wrong with that? (Yes I’ve seen this happen)
I am not a professional I cannot confirm that these video games make an individual violent; however there is research out there to suggest that this may be the case. I’ve also seen many instances in which I’ve seen boys my age throw a conniption because of a video game (this not just teenage boys). Think about it though if a video game can make a teenager act like this what kind of message does it send to young children who are playing video games such as these? I am not saying that these games should not be available. It is completely the choice of the individual, or in the case of a young child it is the choice of the parents whether or not they wish to purchase such games for their children. I am simply throwing a thought out there for people to form their own opinions on. I think this will make for an interesting casual argument
