Answer:

After reading the article "Do Video Games Make People Violent" I can conclude that video games can make children more violent. An study released by the Oxford Internet Institute last year suggested frustration at being unable to play a game was more likely to bring out aggressive behaviour than the content of the game itself. In another study violent video games could be often associated with behaviour problems. In addition one of the students who carried out the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 used a gun he called "Arlene" - allegedly after a character in a novel inspired by the computer game Doom. In conclusion the research all adds up to one answer, video games resemble a consistent relation between violent video game use and increases in aggressive behaviour, aggressive cognitions and aggressive affect, and decreases in pro-social behaviour, empathy and sensitivity to aggression.

Answer:

According to the name of the article and personal experience i would have to say yes they do.

Explanation:

1. They contribute to violence because some times they will make you Extremely mad and want to hurt someone or some thing

2. It depends on the type of game some violent game will make you want to copy whats in the game or what happens in the game (Example: Your character beats up or shoots someone you'll sometime pretend to do that IRL)

3. They are addicting and some times even controlling they tempt you to do things including violence.

And those are 3 reasons why violence contribute to playing video games!!

Hope this helped!!! :D
