Can videogames/movies really change your state of mind?
Like my brother, he used to be a nice guy, but ever since he got into the Xbox & Xbox 360, playing many violent games. And now he curses like there's no tomorrow and his personality, such a.. well you know, something not nice. He hates violent movies though. So would the people playing with him on the games or the actual games be responsible for him acting this way? Or just the way he is?
Answer:
It's a matter of environment and circumstance. We are daily becoming who we are, being shaped and changed by our environment and circumstances. Our control in this is our approach, our attitude. Your brother has allowed his new environment of violence and hostility to shape him. And that there are others reinforcing and strengthening this environment only causes a deeper imprint. There's a reason why mothers used to say chose your friends wisely. The good news is he can decide to not be that way, the bad news is that it is unfortunately entirely up to him, and the influence of his virtual environment won't be supportive of him becoming a 'nice guy' again, however, that's where you might be able to have an impact.
Yes, videogames can change your life. Not so much movies, because you aren't role playing.
I'll never forget one late night I was at a friend's house playing GTA and I had to take the highway back to my place at 4:00am, it was the late hour, but I actually had to remind myself several times that rubbing out other cars would not be a good idea on the way home.
Keep in mind that TV comercials also control people.
Well the army will have the new trainees play violent video games to motivate them to shoot the enemys. This also engourages them to WANT to kill and puts thier brain in Nuetral so they are calm and relaxed while doing so.
video games and movies can have impact on peoples personalities. Some people are just more impressionable. Other likely factors could be who he hangs out with, age, home life, etc. Dont immediately jump to the video games made him do defense.
Yea It Can. Especially the video games. Games like Halo and Grand Theft auto and Resident Evil, They are good games but if you play them day after day after day you start to lose your mind.My Brother used to be a nice guy too, people say its a phase but its not it changes the way you act the way you think and the way you see people.
I think movies can stimulate thought. Of course this depends on the movie. I often find myself impressionable very much after movies.
