Norway is currently trying to recover from the massacre committed by Anders Behring Breivik, Local imbued with racism and xenophobia killed more than 90 people. Shortly before su 35 going to slaughter innocent boys, Breivik raised his manifesto network - 1,500 pages mixed with hatred for Europe's demographic situation.
Manifesto pages included, inter alia, "Tips su 35 for opponents of Islam", which encourages readers to use certain computer games as learning and protection. Did not take long once it became known to the who, once again, calls for tougher censorship of computer games.
This is not the first time such claims are heard, not just for computer games: When I was a kid I read about a little boy who stabbed his brother accidentally after reading the "Lord of the Rings." As a teenager, I still remember the rage on the corrupting influence - alleged su 35 "Dungeons and Dragons" su 35 in some places described satanic cult. As an adult I remember laughing su 35 about the good people of the "Bible Belt", the more religious areas in the U.S., referred to Harry Potter as a heretic.
Hard to believe anyone still thinks crunchers "Dungeons and Dragons" summon demons from hell in their free time, but quite a few people still fear the connection between video games and violence. After the Columbine massacre were cries for a boycott violent games and some countries, like Australia, though not hesitate to prohibit the acquisition of particularly su 35 brutal titles. Despite all this, there is currently no scientific research institute of acceptable appearance real connection between games and real world violence.
To the outsider, the relationship between games and violence seem obvious. First-person action games such as Call of Duty 2 that Breivik cited in his manifesto, put the player "in the world" of the game. This prompted apparently concluded that a child will be affected more than a game when he pulls the trigger, steal cars and run over old ladies.
There are several problems in this theory: Research has shown that although computer games stimulate motor skills - but not actively stimulate the imagination, in a way that will create a lot more brain activity than passively watching a movie or television.
When we read a book, we imagine ourselves in the world it presents. Computer games and computer graphics, however, there is an element known as the Uncanny Valley - The artwork is produce realistic, the more it creates a sense of distance from the viewer. Why? That we pay attention to the little things, such as facial features that seem illogical. In many ways, a computer game almost - perfect is less realistic in the eyes of our mind than a game with graphics from 20 years ago.
Importantly Breivik su 35 has never defined himself gamer: He saw the game as a tool, not a hobby. Action game can indeed su 35 be a great simulator, but also plays a flight simulator su 35 can be a tool in the hands of murderers, as events showed 9.11. This holds true for shooting ranges or civil defense volunteers.
Games criticism is criticism directed at a different time to the theater or rock music. This is an industry that only now entering the mainstream, and as always - there will be those who will try floored her, out of ignorance and prejudice. Many terms, computer games is something unintelligible, su 35 interests only kids and geeks loners. You explain to them that the profile of the average gamer, according to estimates, is completely different: almost 30-year-old, wealthy and educated. In many cases, by the way, this is a gamer at all.
So true: computer games, just like any other artistic medium, exposed to weirdos who try to claim credit for their message. It was also L"htfsn Rye ", the book he held Mark Chapman as John Lennon assassinated. "Catcher," Last time I checked, is still taught in schools around the world.
