Are today's video games shaping tomorrow's leaders?

[Go_Oilers_Go]

The debate over video games and whether they are good or bad has been raging ever since the creation of pong. However, most of the arguments presented are fairly short sighted and normally pertain to how the video game players will do in school. I'd like to look further into the future. Many of the most popular and addictive video games in society today involve fighting or violence to one extent or another. I believe that these violent video games are having a negative impact on the current generation that will soon lead the world. These violent video games are teaching the kids that violence is the resolution to one's problems, and they also increase aggression in children. When these children come to lead the world in years to come, I think that deep inside they will still hold the belief that violence can solve most of one's problems. Thus, the potential for wars or even more violent police forces could become a very real prospect in the near future.
