Week 9 - Response to Content

For my essay I have chosen topic 2: "Does the extensive use of computer/video games have an adverse impact on the health of young people. What are the most recent papers? Clarify what both sides of the argument claim and only then offer your reasoned opinion based on facts." Currently, without viewing any sources of information, my position in the case is that I think computer/video games affect the health of young people. The reason for this is that gamers tend to sit still for a long amount of time and therefore they are not doing that much physical activity. This might cause overweight and other sicknesses. They also tend to stay up all night gaming which affects the amount of time used to sleep, and in the end their health. In my research for this essay I hope to find evidence to prove the guilt of gaming and the bad effects of it. I think there is a lot of information out there that I can use to strengthen my position. I hope I will find some research from credible sources, like doctors, to support my opinion since this kind of information is likely to obtain more support form the audience. In the end I hope the conclusion I reach is similar to my currently opinion.
