Synthesizing Sources

There is a big division of thought involving children and videogames (Walker, 2001; Smith, 2003). Although Walker (2001) is right saying that the violent videogames influences stimulating the violence in the kids’ behavior, according to Smith (2003) the videogames are not the only thing that influences kids’ growth of violence. As well as TV, movies, radio, books, etc. the videogames really incentives the violence, but that’s not the only thing that does. In my opinion the videogames are bad to the kids, but as well as TV, movies, radio, music, etc.; so  the solution is not simply blame the videogames and take them away from the kids, but increase the influences against violence.
