I know other countries are behind the U.S. in advancements, but the United Kingdom seems to be too far behind on their new study of violent video games.
Tanya Byron, who presents television shows to the U.K. audience is conducting the research for the study. She is trying to figure out how kids (1-18) react to violent video games. (which seems wrong in itself) The study is also trying to find the effectiveness of video game ratings, to see if they are appropriate for each age range.
Video games are violent, sexual, and crude, but you can't hold the company or designers responsible for making the game. The game rating is on the game for a reason; So parents don't allow their kids to get games out of their child's age range, and if they do the blame is on them. If the U.K. needs to revise the rating system a little bit then so be it. I know this argument has been used plenty of times, but I'm going to use it anyway....aren't there more important issues to be discussing then this? Children are not forced to play violent video games, if the parents allow them to play them, it's on them.
