B)According the film, is there any evidence that digital games can encourage aggression in the real world? Should governments have the right to ban certain games?
According to the film, there is evidence that digital games encourage aggression in the real world. There are some gun games showed in the film, and according to the MRI result, when a guy is playing the violence games, he will use the criminal part of the brain. That means the games affect human mind to stimulate some feelings about aggression.
C)What is a favorite video games played by a member of your group? What is good about that game? Does it have any aspect that could lead to bad real-life behavior?
Super Mario is one of the games we have been discussed.
It is less violence but still exciting.
In this game, as a Mario you have to face some challenges like some monsters bordering you, after killing those monsters , you can rescue the princess.
The good thing about about this game is user-friendly, people in different ages can play this game because it is easy to play without using brain to consider and just test your reaction. Also, this game is very colorful to attract people's eyes.
You need to eat the coins to get the marks and life in this game, so may be it will make players over rely on the money.
It's good to see that you use 2 aspect to finish question 1 which is so clear.
