Hypodermic Needle Theory Task - Violent video games & Jamal Edwards - Multimillionaire

Violent video games encourages aggressive behaviour

This supports the hypodermic needle theory as they say if you consume a piece of media data, you may be likely, depending on how much is consumed, try to re-enact those actions without the intention of actually doing it. The article states that at least 20 minutes a day of playing violent games (first person shooters particularly), this can encourage more aggressive behaviour as their is a lot of violent acts being undertaken in the game and can cause the behaviour of students to become more vicious. This also supports the theory as playing violent games can affect the long term if their is a high level of media consumption, a quote from the article which supports this is "Playing video games could be compared to smoking cigarettes. A single cigarette won't cause lung cancer, but smoking over weeks or months or years greatly increases the risk.", this shows how in the long term how badly it can affect the mentality of a person.  

Another article which shows the link between violent video games and aggression is linked below. 

Link between violent video games & aggression

In this particular study, I do and do not believe video games affects the mentality of a person as a lot of people are affected by things much easier than others and this causes people to think that it affects everyone as a whole, as they people testing the theory have been able to gain results from their studies, which prove that violent video games causes aggression.
