Synthesizing Sources

      The discussion of if video games makes children violent is very controversial (Walker, 2001; Smith, 2003). Walker supports the idea that these games really increase the violence, although Smith believes that movies and TV shows (including kid’s shows) are as violent as games, and that not all games are aggressive. In my opinion video games does not make people violent because people know the difference between a game and real life.
