Do video games cause real violence?


Games in the "Halo" series, which include "Halo 4," above, have sold more than 50 million copies, according to Microsoft.Readers sound off about video games and violenceWhat do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below or post a video on CNN iReportNewtown shootings prompted conversation, though no gaming link has been foundStudies have differed on role of video games in violence
(CNN) -- For many families this holiday season, video games will come wrapped in colorful paper, ribbons and bows -- and lots of questions.
Inevitably, in the wake of the tragic school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, video games have become part of the national conversation about the roots of violence.To be sure, any role they may have played in Newtown remains unclear. Police have said nothing about them, and scattered news reports have gunman Adam Lanza playing games ranging from the military strategy "Starcraft" to kid-friendly "Dance Dance Revolution," neither of which rank among the more violent titles on the market.And while violent video-game controversies date back to the 1970s, studies into whether games cause violent behavior have been inconclusive. For many gamers, it's an old and tired debate.But after the Newtown shootings, which claimed the lives of 20 children and seven adults -- including Lanza's mother -- some shoppers are weighing whether it's appropriate to give certain video games to children or young teens this holiday season.var  commenters on the site for their thoughts on the issue."I have two boys, age 9, that want 'Call of Duty,' " said a CNN commenter using the screen name goldeneagle78, referring to the popular military-shooter game series. "They will NOT be getting it, or any other game that is rated above their age level."Reader Crysty Harper of Maricopa, Arizona, said she understands that millions play games with no ill effect, but that "for the mentally unstable, these fantasy scenarios are fueling the violence, and being re-enacted in real life."The Entertainment Software Rating Board created a ratings system for video games similar to the classification used in movies, such as PG-13 and R. "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2," like many other games depicting violence, adult language or sexual content, is rated "M for Mature," or suggested for players 17 and older.Some readers lumped video games in with other media that depict violence."If they want to ban guns, why not ban them in movies, television and video games?" asked reader Bill Smells in an iReport article inviting ideas for halting mass shootings. "Why do we allow the media and entertainment industries to glorify weapons and killings?"If we're going to start regulating and banning weapons, why not start by aggressively banning and preventing the abuse of weapons in media?" Smells added. "Why do we allow our children and young adults to buy video games that put them in the position of being rewarded for shooting and killing other players?"Commenters repeatedly mentioned the Entertainment Software Rating Board's system, saying parents should be as responsible about games their children play as they are about the movies they allow them to see.David Kaelin, president of Texas-based video game chain Game Over, said part of the confusion around the issue is because some parents and other adults only deal with video games once a year, around Christmas.Kaelin said he tries to help uninformed parents get the information they need, including ratings, before choosing gifts. But ultimately, he said, parents are responsible for keeping an eye on their kids."I have two young kids myself," Kaelin said. "For any parent to be able to be involved in whatever your kid's doing, you need to be (educated). You need to know what those things are."Kaelin said he doesn't believe games are responsible for societal violence. But he said he thinks the way kids play them can tell parents a lot about possible problems, especially when a child is spending a lot of time alone on the computer."Go into their room and see what they're doing and what they're into," Kaelin said. "Being an active and involved parent is being a good parent."That's a view echoed by many others."I would not consider buying my child a first-person shooter game," wrote a reader using the handle dxp2718. "My kids, admittedly, are too young to play video games like that, but they COULD play with toy guns, swords or soldiers if I let them have them -- and I wouldn't even think of it."NOT HURTING OTHERS is lesson #1. It comes before reading, writing, counting or anything else."Antwand Pearman, CEO of gaming and health company Gamer Fit Nation, said he doesn't believe games are to blame. But he started a movement, including a hashtag on Twitter, urging people to give up playing first-person shooter games on Friday, December 21, as a show of sympathy and understanding for the Newtown victims."It's not to say that video games are to blame. It's more to show that we as gamers give a damn," Pearman said. "Video games are more so a reflection of real life. Gaming is an outlet, just like movies and music."CNN commenter Sean S. said he hopes people will look deeper for answers. He said parents have the most responsibility to teach their kids, especially since they are often the ones buying the games and they cost so much."People blame the video games because it is easier than blaming themselves, but the fact is millions of kids around this country and around the world play the same violent and destructive video games, and yet only a very select few have made the choice to take that violence and killing from the game and bring it into real life," he said.What do you think?

In England, the day after Christmas, boxing day, mean football games

Click Here!codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://0.gvt0.com/vi/7Cm-Pg_KCTw/0.jpg">
Click Here! The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. A national holiday, the day after Christmas (also called St. Stephen's Day) has come to be known as Boxing Day. The origin of its name is largely unknown. One theory suggests the date was a day off for servants who would receive a Christmas box from their employers to take home to their families. Another proposes that great ships setting sail would have a sealed box full of money onboard for good luck. If the voyage was a success, the box was given to the church and the contents donated to the poor on this day.
--> Whatever its roots, its quintessentially British traditions are steeped in history, of which soccer is the centerpiece for many.
The tradition of soccer on Boxing Day dates to 1860, when the world's oldest and second-oldest clubs the first interclub match constructors. Hallam and Sheffield played a game under Sheffield Rules, to 19th-century interpretation of today's modern sport that still permitted participants to catch the ball with their hands. Derby matches were once contrived to fall on Dec. 26, bypassing the computer that randomly decides the schedule for the rest of the season. That particular tradition is now neglected in the upper echelons of English soccer. The past two seasons have had only two genuine derbies, with Fulham drawing with Chelsea in 2011 and West Ham winning at Craven Cottage the year before that. Only Arsenal and West Ham represented such a clash this year, until planned London Underground strikes for Wednesday forced a postponement.
These local games were devised to ensure that supporters would not have to travel long distances at a time of the year that revolves around the home. Those who perhaps would not or could not attend their local team's games for a majority of the season would go to the Boxing Day derby, in much the same way some Christians might attend only Christmas Eve services.
Perhaps it is an indictment of modern soccer's precedence that this consideration is now dismissed. Or maybe the authorities simply decided that holding feisty derby matches fueled by alcohol was probably not the best way to mark the holidays. (At one game between Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United in 1979, players and supporters took Boxing Day a little too literally, and more than 50 were arrested.) The most remarkable Boxing Day occurred in 1963, when 157 goals were scored in 39 games, with Fulham registering at 10-1 win over Ipswich Town. Liverpool defeating Stoke City, 6-1; Blackburn Rovers West Ham routing, 8-2; and Burnley topping Manchester United, 6-1.
Surprisingly, when United met Burnley again two days later, it scored five goals. Likewise, Ipswich defeated Fulham, 4-2, and West Ham also completed an unlikely turnaround, beating Blackburn by 3-1. As far as the rest of Europe is concerned, sports on Dec. 26 is a uniquely British. In Germany, the Bundesliga takes a six-week break in December and January. France similarly enters a state of hibernation, and some Eastern European countries changed all sporting endeavors until March.
But in Britain (Scotland's Premier League also has a full slate of games), the festivities are a time honored and much-loved highlight of the sporting calendar, despite a degree of clamor from some for a continental-style winter break. Outsiders question why the most games are played at the most volatile time of the year. (Many lower-level teams will be unable to complete their schedules for months because of unplayable fields.) Insiders might not have an answer.
British Boxing Day sports, in general, has a long and storied history. Dog-led fox hunts were a popular pastime, particularly among the upper classes, until the sport was outlawed in 2005. Horse racing was also a Dec. 26 staple, with the King George VI Chase still hosted every year at Kempton racecourse. Rugby once operated a schedule similar to soccer's until adopting a summer season in 1996. One Boxing Day tradition that has withstood time along with soccer is the urge to take to the sea, as participants don novelty costumes and plunge into the icy waters. That custom puts typical British eccentricity on full display "all along the shoreline.
But no other sport can claim a stronger influence of good will over the holidays than soccer. Even during World War I, British and German troops called a temporary truce over Christmas to play a game with each other between their trenches. Festive traditions tend to outlast their practicality; the explanation for the name Boxing Day is a testament to that. Although the custom of soccer on the day after Christmas might have been diluted somewhat over the years, its place on the calendar is still marked.
Soccer and Christmas have changed significantly since Hallam and Sheffield played for the first time in 1860, but some traditions are seen as worth preserving.

Best in Blogs: Hunger Games Feeding Frenzy and Mad Men Mania

Let the games begin! "The Hunger Games" movie opens this week on the heels of its novelization in a bestselling Young Adult book trilogy. "March felt SO far away," says fan site The Hunger Games Blog. "But guess what?! It's here! The Hunger Games will premiere on silver screens nearly everywhere this weekend!!" THR reported that by this Wednesday the movie "already had whipped up north of $15 million in ticket sales and cracked Fandango's all-time top five presellers, overtaking The Twilight Saga: Eclipseand Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1." Says fansite Mockingjay.net: "I can't wait to see the numbers next week! I've done my part for sure, since I'm going to the midnight premiere with my brother tonight and to an IMAX showing on Saturday!" (Gee, hope you like it!). But will The Hunger Games be even better than Twilight? "Given that The Hunger Games does not feature a spineless doormat in love with a controlling, condescending stalker, yes, I can almost guarantee that," says E! Live from the Red Carpet.

Ok, now breathe. Gawker asks a key question: "Seriously, What Are The Hunger Games and Why Should I Care if I'm Not 14?" They proceed to explain what it's all about in a detailed summary of the book, plus a glossary. Business Insider (which is always our go-to source for insight into 14-year-old girls) spills "10 things you need to know" about The Hunger Games story.

Apparently the whole thing involves much killing of kids, and making them fight each other and grovel for food. Penn Badgley, a celebrity of some kind who attended the L.A. premiere this week, likened The Hunger Games to Occupy Wall Street: "It's the one percent [killing the kids]," he told Vulture at the premiere after-party. "I think you'd have to be blind to not see that. I was shocked to see all that in there." (Can't we just leave anti-Wall Street sentiments to The Muppets and The Lorax?). There also have been comparisons to that Kony 2012 video about abuses of children in Udanga that recently went viral. Says NPR's Monkey See blog: "It's a coincidence that highlights the single truth at the heart of both nightmares: Children who live in poverty are easy prey." A campaign called "Hunger is Not a Game" is piggybacking on the popularity of the book and movie to spread the world about global hunger. Says the Imagine Better site: "In the world of the Hunger Games series, everything is controlled by the Capitol, which uses power and money to punish the districts...Katniss, Gale and the citizens of District 12 are forced to break the law to keep from starving, to maintain an informal and illegal market so that they can eat. Sound familiar?"

In what is probably a bad juxtaposition here, the fitness website Daily Burn came up with a Hunger Games diet, "so you can simultaneously slim down and gain the strength to 'be an archer like Katniss or a powerhouse like Cato.'," explains The Hollywood Blog.  And just in time for Spring there is this too: "Whether you're a bride-to-be, a maid of honor, or just a party planner, we've come up with some creative and fun ways to incorporate The Hunger Games in your wedding celebrations," says Tres Sugar. "The book series may be dark, but it is filled with romance."

Meanwhile, in the real world, Mad Men is coming back to TV for its fifth season, and if you haven't been inoculated against the nostalgia virus, get ready to become infected. Banana Republic introduced a Mad Men-inspired clothing line -- in a fashion show on a jet airplane! Says PSFK: "The items included cigarette pants and floral fitted dresses for women, and colorful polos and classic navy blazers for men." Estee Lauder is offering a Mad Men cosmetics line, "inspired by the bold lips, the rouge cheeks, and the general 1950s feminine put-together-ness that the show's leading ladies pull off so swell," says Allure's Daily Beauty Reporter blog. Bourbon Blog serves up a recipe for a Mad Men inspired cocktail. Not surprisingly, it's named the Old Fashioned. Newsweek is getting in on the old-school vibe by continuing to publish itself just like in the olden days, when $1 would get you a nice sandwich, not the the entire Newsweek publishing operation. No, actually, Newsweek is getting its vintage duds on by publishing its latest issue with a retro style cover featuring the Mad Men cast and ads inside designed to look like 1960s-era classics. Says AdFreak: "Some are original from the period, while others reimagine modern-day campaigns as they might have looked in the '60s." FastCoCreate has the complete portfolio of ads here.
