26. Do violent video games cause behavior problems?

26. Do violent video games cause behavior problems?

Scholars view on the subject of  influence of computer game's on the teenage aggression now divided. On the net you can meet the articles that defend computer games and said that men's aggression released in the game will not give way on the real person. But there are example that connect increased aggression with computer game. For example teenage guy in Russian backwoods killed his father with hammer because he took off and hided his keyboard. After killing his father boy took back his keyboard and simply went to his computer to finish his game. Does this fact prove that culprit of the murder was computer. Not at all, the boy didn't show friendliness towards his classmates, he was unsociable at school and other life. It possible that another motive can lead to such a issue.

Some of scientists claim that games who spend their computer time in playing violent game are prone to execution the crime, they are never help his family and friends and they don't reveal compassion to surrounding them people. That happens because the threshold of susceptibility to the scenes of violence and humiliation in such people decrease dramatically so long as they observe them every day and take that as normal.

But here not clear cause-and-effect relation. Is it violent person by it nature sits behind the screen and kills in tonnes enemies and aliens thereby decrease his level of violence. In other case he lead it to the surrounding him people. Or nice and balanced person first carried away by violent computer games, then he became aggressive himself. There is no definite answer to this question. But fact is that children that play violent computer game are prone to the violence and suppression the weaker ones.

As a rule plots of that games consist of fighting, shooting, killing with good reward to the main character.  Often for teenage boy's or girl's brain virtual and real world  aren't different. They easily can confuse them and behave in real world in the same manner as in the virtual one, because their mind isn't strong enough for such a job.

24. Are actors and professional athletes paid too much?

Sport and money.

Everyone has heard that famous sportsmen earn a lot, even a very lot of money. More from us would like to be a champion and get at once a big chunk of money that it will be enough for good. But little of us ventured to earn money by professional sport, because it's obscure, whether it is possible to earn something by doing sport and how much time, energy, force and money it should wast before the first result will be feasible.

It's clear that Olympic champions, record-holder, titled sportsmen get enough for living, but not always can be first and best. The sport is an area that isn't for everyone who just want. The sport is a job that has plenty of niches and ways to earn money and it is a business that filled not only by the sportsmen. Not everyone can run and swim quickly and play football elegantly, frankly speaking not every one is determined to try sport, as not everyone prone to choose to be a fireman, police or military office as a profession. Last three job area are deeply connected with risk that's why their salary should be subsided by government. In other case people wont want to choose them. How about the salary and fees for the professional sportsmen? In whole all looks like below. Sport is a big area for sport equipment and clothe manufacturers. They are ready to invest money in sport infrastructure developing and sportsmen for increase number of people who are doing sport, and of course to push up volume of their sales. Professional sportsmen are their advertising engines. Ordinary people try to attain the level of the best and famous sportsmen, and wear the same clothes as celebrity, eat the same food and drive the same cars. For example Swiss manufacturer of the watch "Rolex" is sponsor of such type of sports as golf, sailing or equestrian. Manufacturer of clothes for swimming "Arena" prefer aquatics and such famous producer like "Nike", "Puma" and "Adidas" take care on track and field athletic and football. Sport is show business and that's why amounts of fee are sharply depends on type of sport.
