Do violent video games lead to violence?

Nowadays, violent video games online have become increasingly popular among students. Many people hold the view that such violent games can cause a propensity for violence while others think that these games are only created for fun.

In my opinion, such games do lead to a tendency of violence to some extent. For one thing, students may easily get misguided by some violent behaviors in these games since they are not mature enough to tell right from wrong. Consequently, they will probably imitate these behaviors in real life. For another, since students can do what are forbidden in real life in these games, they may gradually develop the quality of violence and become more prone to adopt aggressive behaviors when conflicting with others.

To sum up, I think we should reduce our time spent on violent video games and do something more meaningful to live our life to the fullest.

暴力电子游戏会导致暴力吗?

如今，暴力电子游戏在学生中越来越流行。许多人认为这种暴力游戏会导致暴力倾向，而另一些人则认为开发这些游戏的初衷只是为了好玩。

在我看来，这类游戏在某种程度上确实会导致暴力倾向。一方面，学生很容易被这些游戏中的一些暴力行为所误导，因为他们还不够成熟，不能辨别对错。因此，他们可能会在现实生活中模仿这些行为。另一方面，因为学生可以在游戏中做一些在现实生活中被禁止的事情，在游戏中他们会逐渐养成暴力的特质，在与他人发生冲突时更容易做出攻击性的行为。

总之，我认为我们应该减少花在暴力电子游戏上的时间，做一些更有意义的事情来充实我们的生活。
