video games..... How do you really feel....
Video games for me have always been away to clear my mind and release from some of the stresses that I have in my life. However I've heard more and more articles and media outlets attacking the practice of older people playing video games. I believe that video games are not a bad thing. video games if used in moderation can be a very helpful tool to help you clear your mind and relax, but I think like so many things can be taken too far. When it comes in between you and your wife and your communication or in the way of you getting the things you need to taken care of done, it has been taken too far. This is never a positive thing. But this can also be the case with just about anything. You can't be too addicted to watching sports on a Saturday afternoon. You can also be too addicted to your high-performance motor vehicle. You can be too addicted to fashion and going shopping. You can be to addicted to the opinion of others. Just about anything can become your modern-day addiction. This makes it all the more important that you have a balance in everything you do. I know many people that have different ways of releasing from stress that have become negative in their life. People I know have let their friendships get in the way of their lives. They have let there work get in the way of their lives. They have let many other things get in the way of them accomplishing what they need to do, or being a productive member of society. So like anything in life if video games are your way of releasing this can be a positive thing. Now also I'm not what people refer to as a gamer,... So my opinion is just that,.... My opinion. I love the mindless release from reality that can come through gaming,... It just needs to be kept in check!.....

If you haven't picked out a research topic yet then try video games. It falls into the "Mass Media" category and it's something you are passionate about. I've used Video games as paper topics many times in my college career; mainly because very few people are familiar with them. You have many topics to choose from with video games like: Video games are art or Video games and violence (there are a lot of studies done on how violence in children is not attributed to video games.) Video games are becoming a very mainstream past time and a lot of people bash them because they don’t understand them. If you are passionate then use it as your topic.
