Video Games


Violent Games

       A visual posted on the site mediaviolence.org shows a young child playing a video game witch contains violence. this visual makes a powerful statement about how engaged children are to video games. The central image shows this child's body language leaning toward, whats I believe is, a television with contracted eyes blocking out as much sunlight as he can to focus the game. the background enhances the central image because the child stands out in front of the stone wall behind him. The visual includes words as well (though not present in the photo). These word suggest that the top selling video games of 2011 contains violence. The goal of the organization seems to be to inform people that most games the children are playing contains violence and that these games "brainwash" kids to keep playing them. The visual is effective because it shows parents what videogames can do to childrens especially violent ones.
