synthesised information:

The society is not welcoming well the addiction to video games. Now that there are new technologies people are trying to reduce this addicction as much as possible The most of the people in the world think that this addiction will no have good effects on childrens lifes.Contrary they think hat this addcition will be a disgrace to childrens life,and that kids are wasting their life to the trash by depveloping this addiction. And also that this distribution of fault is: a little bit children, And a lot to parents because the permited that this addiction entered to their kids. Every kid that is an addict has 2 very bad parents.

But the other part of the world think that thisvideo games are good, that kids will develop with this addiction some good effects like :

A new very inteligent brain.

The new capacity of giving a quick and correct answer.

A new and more balanced way of life.

A new body.

Also some parents think that having an addiction with their

sons can also be qualified as sharing time with them.

dddd Also the society think that this addiction will help addicts to

difference the reality from the real word also people think that

this will help on childrens life.

Albert Liaw uses the Wii boxing game for treatment after suffering a stroke and a brain injury that put him in a wheelchair, due to a blow to the head during a real boxing match. It’s Nintendo’s Wii Sports boxing that is helping him recover. The Edmonton Journal reports that the, Alberta, Canada-based Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital is using the Wii as a motivational tool to help patients like Liaw regain movement and balance after debilitating injuries. “The Journal reports the Wii has been helpful in giving patients a reason to keep up their physical therapy despite the strain on their muscles and minds. However, it’s not enough for them to simply play the games; they need to play them with specific motions that train the patients’ muscles. The Wii treatment has helped Liaw get back on his feet and regain some use of his left arm. While he isn’t likely to set foot in a ring competitively again, he hopes to become a boxing trainer. Occupational therapist Jonathan Halton brought the idea to Glenrose, which the article says is the first in North America to use the Wii for rehabilitation.” — Via GS

The most of the society think that this is very irresponsable from the part of the parents.

Always remmember that when kids are addicts society think that is not fault of the kids, but it is parents fault.

__some parents:__

__DONT PAY ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THEIR KIDS.__

__THEY ARE NOT AT HOME.__

__THEY THINK THAT HAVING THIS ADDICTIION WILL HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECTS ON THEIR LIFES.__

__BUT SOME PARENTS DEPVELOPS AN ADDICTION WITH THEIR SONS.__

__SOME PARENTS CANT CONTROL THE ADDICTION IN HIS SON BECAUSE IT IS TOO LATE.__

The kids video games addiction is normally cause by the feeling they have towards the game.

This kids normally have parents that are extremely busy and dont pay attention to them. Thaey can play between 8 and 12 hours

daily. They can have problems of obesity because the only thing they do is to eat and play games sitting in a chair by many time.Or

maybe anorexia because since they are sitting many hours in a chair they forgett to eat and they gett thinner and thinner

untill they depvelop an addiction such dangerouse so they stop eating to play video games.

This games can change the attitude of the children because all the time they play they can learn violent things and the most addiction games are: Grand theft auto, Call of duty, hallo, far cry and more games of war. The children play this games in different consoles such as WII Play Station and Xbox.

The most dangerous videogame addiction is that the kids are stopping their studies and the only thing they do is be in their room and play games.

__ By: Julian Andres Medina R. __ =Most of the parents think that the addiction is caused by parent's that don't pay attention to their child's.= =(__I PERSONALLY MAKE A SURVEY TO PARENTS IN WICH PARENTS SAID THAT THEIR CHILD'S JUST PLAY THE WEEKEND WHEN THEY FINISH HOMEWORK. BUT ANOTHER SURVEY THAT I MAKE TO CHILDREN SHOWS THAT THEIR KIDS PLAY MORE THAT WHAT THEIR PARENT´S THINK THEY DO, AND THEY DO IT HIDEN . THAT MEANS THAT WHILE PARENTS ARE NOT WATCHING THEY PLAY AND THEIR PARENTS HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THIS, THAT MEANS THAT SINCE PARENTS DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY PLAY KIDS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITS AND THAT ON THESE HOURS CHILDREN CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH OUT SUPERVISION OF THEIR PARENTS.__= =Most of the parents also think that to prevent this problem in weekend there should be more familiar activity, or sport (so they have can enjoy playing a sport and reducing fatness and the level of colesterol and don't be playing videogames).=

=Also some parent's think the cause if this problem is that these kids have no interpersonal activity. That means:That child's are not having conversations with humans). And that not having comunicacion face to face can also lower your self esteem because people are not taking you a count to have a conversation and thet makes you feel= =less valuable, and when you feel like that you just play video games.= =The solution to some parent's agree with is to make easier the social comunication, and the balance between := =Videogames, sport, and chatting face to face.= = By: Julian Andres Medina R. = ==

pathologic (you know it is bad but you do it anyways)

As you see in this graph: The 81% non pathological gammers know it is bad but they do it any ways, so they play and thay know it is bad for them but the addiction controls them.

The pathological gammers 8% they play but they don't know it is bad for them.

And the people ho don't play videogames at all are 11%

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT SOCIETY THINKS ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ADDICTION IS THAT IS NOT VERY WELCOME IN THE SOCIETY AND THAT PEOPLE SEE THAT AS IF PARENTS WHERE RESPONSABLE AND THAT IF A KID IS AN  ADDICT THE PARENTS HAVE THE FAULT.

BECAUSE: PARENTS LEAVE ALONE KIDS AND DONT PAY THEM ENOUGH ATTENTION.

BECAUSE: PARENTS DEPVELOP AN ADDICTION WITH KIDS.
