What do you think; which genre of Video Games can change people behavior?
The video games sector is the fastest growing entertainment industry. In these days the industry enjoys great financial success, with international sales of thirty one billion dollar, and in the United States, the reset sales figure of between seven and ten billion a year. All these numbers are very huge that nobody can imagine it. Video games can make the players do the right decisions or improve their thoughts or the way they thinking. However, there are a lot of genres of video games such as sports, cards, family games, war like shooting games. All these kinds of games are usually young people play them which it is good for their knowledge. It’s one of the good things as a benefit in playing video games is health oriented. There are a lot of games designed to educate kids about their health and behavior.  But, when we go deeply into one of these genres; which they are the most likely in these days. The war games and especially shooting games; witch is the most people who play this type of games can get addictive. So what do you think; which of these types of video games can change people behavior? And which one has good benefits?

Is it fun to play video games? Sure it is, but not always .It could be wasting time. Gaming becomes an addiction when it starts to interfere with a person's relationships or their pursuit of other goals, such as good grades or being a part member of a sports team. Video games that do something to make a player feel good will played again and again. You can't control them, even they can't control themselves, and that’s how they become addictive. Like what did happen for a young lady in the airport, she was waiting her flight. She decided to play a quick game of Pac-man. Before she knew it, she was hooked; Pac-man took her for every last quarter she had. She was like not yet having the feeling of the game, so she tried again. She did a little better this time. Once the person plays game he or she thinks that he or she could win. So if someone is able to break the habit before it breaks him or her. So she couldn't stop. And she missed her fight because of Pac-man game. Pac-man is one of the games that hook people, and it’s very old game and simple. What about the games in these days with a good graphics they would attract people to play them all the time. How violent video games make people aggressive or changed their behavior? There are a lot of video games that have violence in it and it’s not good for children as provoking player reflect. Player spent their time playing computer games with wasted energy and violence behavior. I took some facts from my own experience, the more you play aggressive video games the more you get addicted, how? For example; when I was addicted on violent video games, at school, I was always thinking about the games wandering how I will go to the next level of the game. Sometimes I memorize all of the guns and even their names .When I go out with my friends, I always look at the buildings guessing if there is a sniper. So these are very serious behaviors that I got rid of it. I didn't post the next three paragraphs, because I had a problem with my laptop. I think in the end of this day will get fixed thank you Ahmed

Summary of three sources form the book

   

 I decided to change the book that I took for the library, because from what I read, it shows me one thing about the topic. In the book they focus just in the profits of the movies and some for video games that no one played them anymore. So I will go back to this book ''Mind At Play’’, because I found a lot of sources about video games.

  In this book there a lot stories about the people who play video games.

Is it fun to play video games? Sure it is, but not always .It could be wasting time like what did happen for a young lady in the airport, she was waiting her flight. She decided to play a quick game of Pac-man. Before she knew it, she was hooked; Pac-man took her for every last quarter she had. She was like not yet having the feeling of the game, so she tried again. She did a little better this time. Once the person plays game he or she thinks that he or she could win. So if someone is able to break the habit before it breaks him or her. So she couldn't stop. And she missed her fight because of Pac-man game.
Pac-man is one of the games that hook people, and it’s very old game and simple. What about the games in these days with a good graphics they would attract people to play them all the time.
 
  Here are some difference or to show the different between wasting time and having fun on playing video games. Here is an example how video games wasting the time, it very simple; video games that do something to make a player feel good will played again and again. You can't control them, even they can't control themselves , and that’s how they become addictive. The author Likened Pac-man game to all of the gamed and he said ''Pac-man hooks only those people who confuse victory with slow defeat ''

Rewrite the thesis statement and outline

Thesis statement for my project: Video Games, Benefit
and Dangers.
     I will talk about games in general, because everybody know what is video games. But most of them might not know who its control people to let them addictive. Some people play games that don’t have violent which it is fine, even he or he got addictive on them; it’s still something good, there are a lot of good games especially for kids such as educational games.
     As I said games that don’t have violent are good, but if they do; it would be large proportion of problems on people that affect their behavior or the way the act.And this is my main point of my presentation. So I showed two things about the project benefits and dangers.
The thesis will be changeable .
