Does violence in games have an impact on young kids and gamers in general?

Does it cause them to be violent in reality, or are violent video games simply a scapegoat for agressive behavior that might in fact be a human condition?



This is how simple the controversy can be termed. The answers however seem to be less simple. We find that a lot of spheres online have been dedicated to say something about this matter. And furthermore, totally opposite expert advices have been given. 



So, who are involved in this debate - who has something at stake here?

Well, those who are participating in the discussions online are; concerned parents, phychology experts and to a minor extend gamers.

And what is then driving the debate...

We find it to be fears: Fearing that ones kids will get behavioral and social problems, fearing that we will see a coming generation of people not being able to distinguish between fantasy and reality and from the gamers side fearing to not being able to play those games that give a kick and maybe create a social interaction for them.
