How violent video games effect the brain.

Playing violent video games can have a serious effect on the brain. Being absorbed with violent images causes the brain to believe in thinking that violence and cruelty is normal. It is also quoted by Helen Phillips where she says "people who play violent video games show diminished brain responses to images of real-life violence, such as gun attacks, but not to other emotionally disturbing pictures, such as those of dead animals, or sick children". 


This will lead to violent behaviour. Many people who play violent video games will use Anger and aggression as a way to relieve stress, it could be physical or even verbal aggression. Things such as name calling, threats and insults can be cause by the person who has grown to having negative thoughts or violent thinking. Many players fall into the addiction of violent games and thus are prone to have the thought that "winning is everything and to win I have to eliminate the opponent.
