that position. If a topic or issue does not have more than one side to consider,
then you cannot argue it. EXAMPLE: Child abuse is wrong is not arguable. No
sane person believes differently.

2. Once you have a controversial topic, then you take a Position (also known as
claim or warrant) your hypothesis.

3. Reasons for position

4. Anticipating Reader concerns and questions

5. Answering reader concerns and questions

6. Acknowledging opposing views, positions and arguments

7. Accommodating valid opposition points

8. Refuting remaining opposition points

9. Conclusion—reminding reader of position and reasons for your convincing argument. Where your hypothesis becomes your thesis.

Answer 15

People always blame their children’s bad behavior on violent video games, but I don’t think that’s the case.
The reason that I say this is that I find violent video games an easy way out for parents, something for them to blame their child’s behavior on. I find it funny to see how many people complain about video game violence, any game that is even remotely violent has a mature rating, and cannot be sold to anyone under seventeen. That being said, if a kid has that game the parents bought it for them, which then turns into the parents fault for giving the kid the game and not on the game itself. The reason I feel this way is because I have been playing video games, for the better half of my life, and consider myself a good person who enjoys getting away from real life once in a while.

Some of the key things we need to look at are violent video games affecting the behavior of children? Who is to blame for this behavior, the video game makers, or the parents? Should violent video games be banned, or made less accessible? Is the rating system for video games adequate? Is there a justified reason to stop making violent video games? Has there been an increase in violence since video games became popular? Do video games make people unsocial?
To start out I believe that video games have gotten a bad reputation for making kids violent. I do agree that there are some violent video games out there, but I also know that there are a lot of non-violent video games. Today the rating systems that are used are pretty tough, and it doesn’t take much to make a game have a mature rating, that means you need to be atleast seventeen in order to buy it. The problem here is not with the rating system but with the parents of the kids who are buying them the games. In the article “Eight Myths about Video Games Debunked” by Henry Jenkins states that “the Federal Trade Commission has found that eighty-three percent of game purchases for underage consumers are made by the parents” (Jenkins). Another thing that people don’t take into consideration is that kids have their own mind, and can decipher right from wrong (Jenkins). This means that if a kid has a very (cant think of the word to put here) Mind, then he should not be playing a game like that. Another question is has there been an increase in violence since games have come out?
A lot of games are not aimed at kids, an article from U.S. News writer Michael D. Gallagher states that “The average video game player is 35 years old and has been playing for 12 years. Forty percent of gamers are women, and one out of every four gamers is over age 50” (Gallagher).


The other side of the story has a couple interesting points that I feel should be shown here as well. First there are military games, which are very unrealistic and show that being in the military is running around and shooting.

Answer 16

Oh wow thats great i like it alot you really give your reasons so to help another reason is like what you said some games do things that are not realistic like Halo or yes military games um let me think.

Answer 17

the end paragraph i need to change up, was thinking of stuff, and as i was writing just kind of forgot what i was talking about. i have thoughts in my head but they never work out on paper lol

Answer 18

Omg that happens to me to so how do you want to change it i have an idea to if youd like to here.

Answer 19

sure, i have nothing

Answer 20

ok hold on I tpye slow sorry type

Answer 21

not a problem

Answer 22

But on the other side to this argument there is some video games in which real things in the world would never occur. In some games like Halo a fantasy word is made and many games like this can become addictive causing children’s imagination to go exploring and it is up to the parents to keep this under control. In other games though such as military games they portray the military doing unreal things like running and shooting people all day. As said above though all to most of this can be and advised to by parents.

Answer 23

you can use it change it or just not use it at all do u need any more halp.

Answer 24

so what step of the structure would you put that under?

Answer 25

6. Acknowledging opposing views, positions and arguments

7. Accommodating valid opposition points

8. Refuting remaining opposition points

9. Conclusion—reminding reader of position and reasons for your convincing argument. Where your hypothesis becomes your thesis.
