▶ Your Answer :
There is a long lasting issue that playing
computer games is a waste of time. Children should not be allowed to play them.
There are advantages and disadvantages on playing computer games in childhood.
But if I have to choose one stance. I will agree on the statement for following
reasons.
First,
children are easily addicted to computer games and lose their concentration. Children
are vulnerable to the computer games because games are usually interesting and
stimulating. While adults can control between computer games and their work
because they know their social responsibilities, children lack the social
responsibilities so that they will focus on only computer games without
studying. It is the reason why they are easily addicted to computer games. If
they will be addicted to the computer games they will lose their concentration
on the study, So they will neglect study in the classes and only play computer
games. Some further situation it can cause some mental diseases that children
can affect normal social activities. For example, the number of patients in the
ADHD which lack the concentration on do something has been increasing in the
children. Many researchers insist that children who were addicted to the
computer games are easy to be ADHD patients because they are easily focus on
computer games and not concentrate other things. Thus for children it will be
better not to be allowed to play computer games.
Second,
while children play computer games they are getting weaker by physically. During
childhood children should play sports because exercising helps them to develop
their mental and physically health. There are lots of good effects in the
playing outside. By doing team exercise children can develop social interaction
because they feel sense of belonging and learn rules while taking a position in
the team. In addition to this, children can release their stress while doing
exercise. Sports itself is entertaining. So they can enjoy the game and feel
the sense of accomplishment by winning the match so that they can release
stress. But after the computer game appeared, not many children enjoyed the outside
activities because they could get interests in the computer games instead of
sports and they did not have to go out side so it is convenient. For these
reasons, the ratio of children participation in the sports has decreased rapidly.
As a result, children are weaker than in the past when 20years when there were
no computer games so many children enjoyed other activities more. For example, National
Statistical Office announced that 35.9% of the students in the middle school did
not attend physical education class in 2016 because they were not interested in
the physical education class but interested in the playing computer games. This
ratio increased compared to the past. Thus, playing computer games makes
children to less participate in the sports and makes them weaker by less
exercising. So it should be banned for children to play computer games.
I
also think that playing computer games has benefits. But children are so
susceptible to be affected computer games and addicted to them. So it will be
better for children to be banned in the playing computer games. So that they will
have more chances to participate in sports. Thus they can not only develop
their stamina but also release their stress. For these reasons, children should
not be allowed to play computer games.
