Studies have been done which prove that video games causes it's frequent players to become desensitized, just like how watching your first horror may be scary, but if you watch dozens and dozens the fear decreases. I've been reading the studies by both Brad Bushman of the University of Michigan, and Christopher Ferguson of TAMIU. Bushman says that violence games can lead to violence. Ferguson says the opposite. The purpose of this debate was to see if anybody else could shed light on other sources and to see if people believe the media, which often lies about the effects. Side: No

I say videogames do not cause aggression because hundred, thousands of people in the world play violent video games for fun and they don't grow up to be ax murderers. I believe that violent games can increase aggression only in people that already have violent and harmful thoughts. But if someone is perfectly happy and normal, they won't turn violent just because they play a game like that with friends and just play it for fun and laughs. Side: No
