Game a spot to pay looking nerds who have no friends and waste their time on stupid online games that make your aggressive and drive you crazy. 5 major prejudices about gaming and how much truth lies behind them i would topic today im sure. There are some 2200000000 gamers worldwide almost one in 3 people regularly play on their smartphone computer or gaming console nevertheless prejudices about gamers and games remain rampant we want to take a close look at the 5 most prejudice number one shooter games make you aggressive the assumption is that if you kill other people in the game youll be more violent in real life but theres no Scientific Evidence to prove this for example a study by Oxford University showed that the contents of a game dont make you aggressive but frustrating Game Mechanics to experts at hamburgs University Clinics say people who play action games do not behave more aggressively in the long run other studies show that playing a lot of violent games can leave you emotionally numb but there is no evidence that violent games make someone more prone to violence so how do our brains really react when we play shooters. Thats exactly what daphne from the university of geneva wants to find out she has people play 1st person shooters hooked up to a Magnetic Resonance imaging scanner and the results show that in some ways games can lead to structure changes in the brain and in actual video game players we know that the structures change and change for the better and they communicate better with each other such that for them paying attention is less effort for. What we were surprised by is that an activities i was so demonized by society. Really conceived as a tool waste of time could have positive effects on something as fundamental as how well you take. Psychology simona from the monks Planck Institute has found that playing Computer Games regularly can even make parts of the brain ground. Give finding a magical compass the brain regions affected are the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex they play a role in spatial orientation like when youre thinking about getting from a to b. So by stimulating these regions to a large extent they grow in volume. Does that mean gamey makes a smarter and we should spend endless hours playing. Im afraid not what our work shows is that youre begging it to play about 35 minutes per day 5 days a week and you do that regularly and you season has been official effects so you dont have to go into your business and hide in play for hours on end actually that may actually be counter productive so not only what you play but also for how long is important i used to love Adventure Games like maniac mansion they dont cause aggression but i often forgot the time because the game world was simply too exciting that brings us to prejudice number 2. Gaming can become addictive after all you hear about shocking cases like this one. You dont even notice youre getting hooked. And suddenly youre addicted. I only realized that when it was too late. I went from playing 4 hours a day to 8 hours. Worse at some stage i go 3 days without sleeping all i do is drink Smoke Cigarettes and play. Now hes aged 21. 00 but for 5 years he spent endless hours playing operation 7 and multiplayer 1st person shooter he lost over that period and dropped out of School Without passing his final exams. I enjoyed competing against other gamers i wanted to be better than them it made me feel powerful. I get 4 to 6 hours of sleep per night max i was Walking Around like a zombie. Neurobiologists have found out that the gaming addicts brain reacts to a screenshot of his favorite game in a similar way an alcoholics brain reacts when he sees a beer when you win the game it gives you a real rush and in order to experience this feeling again and again you just keep on play. An expert on addiction knows just how common this problem is. About one percent are addicted to games that doesnt sound like a huge number but its comparable to other Psychological Conditions weve known about for a long time and so gaming can be addictive but does gaming make people lowness prejudiced number 3 gamers nerdy. But if you look at the big industry events that doesnt seem to be true at all thousands of like minded people come together at games com or esports events to party and have a good time together in a recent survey 3 out of 5 british gamers said they play mainly to keep in touch with their friends my nephew for example met his 1st girlfriend playing league of legends which like so many games is all about team play take fortnight for example. 100. 00 players and whoever manages to survive wins thats the basic idea behind a popular game fortnight battle royal players can also get together with other gamers and play as a team. 15 year old moritz is one of many fortnight fans he links up with his friends on sky playing. The old. Notes of people play for tonight there are plenty of k. M. s its very fun. It seems many would agree fortnight is currently one of the most popular Computer Games in the world. In its heyday more than 10000000 gamers were playing fortnight at the same time. The games left a lasting cultural legacy with many people even uploading videos of themselves imitating fortnights famous dances many of these clips went viral my favorite. Or Something Like this so gaming is all about community but who actually plays prejudice number for the game a scene is made i mean naked and hostile to women and 2014 male gamers set up the game a gate hash tag and started to arrest female game designers online this went on for months and there were even rape and Death Threats things appear to have improved since then but many games still seem to show women in a strange light. Its pretty common to see female computer Game Characters portrayed as scantily clad sex objects whatever their role in the gang. Figures in the male dominated game. Most major games are still developed for an all male audience only 20 percent of Game Developers are women. And you know. This is because many of the technical qualifications weve made a mistake all these years of telling girls and young women forget about tech jobs youre not cut out for this kind of work. This way they dont even consider this line of work and rule it out from the start. That the number of female game is does not justify this discrepancy in fact estimates indicate that there are just as many female as. Men tend to prefer the big blockbuster games. For casual and mobile. Phones its a fact women. Play games and thats why they should be developing games too they could help create games that appeal to women. The latest installment of the tomb raider adventure game series in the case that things are changing in older versions the main protagonist lara croft used to sport a very skimpy outfits. But now shes a Real Adventure as with much more modest clothing. More and more games now feature complex female characters. Like horizon 0 dawn where female protagonist alloy grows up in a matriarchal society. Or uncharted the last legacy with 2 female lead characters at the heart of a gripping action adventure story. Both games have sold millions of copies so it seems that games dont need sexy female lead characters to appeal to consumers. So simply love exciting stories and intelligent as attainment or does our 5th prejudice hold true prejudice number 5 games are a total waste of time is gaming just a waste of time and money well there are plenty of examples to show that isnt true. School kids in Atlanta Georgia are playing the educational class craft game it resembles a typical fantasy game and is designed to help teachers and encourage students to participate in class. It changed it dramatically because it made me a participant with my students i am others their teacher im their game master i control the fun of the classroom. Schoolchildren can select different avatars in class craft and Work Together as teams they sold virtual challenges and collect points they can then use them to alter their avatars or move up to a higher level that motivates them to keep learning. Class caffeine doesnt make it seem like i think. Youre probably going to better. And these 3rd graders are using the fun Educational Software dreambox to help them solve math problems it features Game Elements and illustrates real world applications. I like it because it shows like. The math problems grow more difficult as pupils improve that way kids receive the challenges that are best suited to their abilities. So is there any truth to the most common factor this is about gaming doesnt make people aggressive there is no evidence to show that shooters make anyone go on a shooting spree but gaming can be addictive just like alcohol and other drugs and what about the claim that game as. Well thats just nonsense but when it comes to gender equality and sexism theres still room for improvement and is gaming a waste of time.
