This week I wanted to research if violent video games desensitize you to violence. So, I read an article at http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/violence-desensitize.htm. Here is a summary of the article:
The article says normally humans would react to violence with alertness and aggression. They say witnessing violence makes this aggression stick with us. It says two kids that watch a violent T.V. show will use more aggressive behavior with others. Dr. Cheryl K. Olson said there isn’t enogh evidence to support this theory.
