These games teach kids that the outside world is not safe, it might seem safe now but there are lots of hazard. The dangers that we are facing today like al qaeda terrorist attacks, Paris bombing, suicide bombing or 9/11, and those that are stopped that most of us don’t even know about because they are kept out of the news.
In our story “High-Jinks: Shoot-Out” by Guy Martin, there is a line in it stating:
“I’m looking
for some good butchery early, “ This is teaching the kids who you can and can’t trust or who you want to trust, yet it is teaching them that it is OK to have a blood bath. I don’t understand why any young people would even look for a target. There is too much other outside sway in our lives the last thing we need is a target. This encourages bullying and stricture. A better idea would be a reflection for teens to look in and better themselves as a community member. I think if we all looked at how to better ourselves instead of looking for a target would make us all better humans. We all should look as a whole not single out anyone.
“In 2007, Jake Protell, a freshman, famous. himself by ferreting out the itinerary of a field trip that to targets were taking to Tel Aviv. Protell took a car to New Airport, found the victims before they passed through security, and dispatched them using two bathtub “squirt-fish.”” That move of bringing a squirt gun to an airport put them in danger and him in danger. He does take benefit of the people at the airport.
In the end the idea should be to bring people together not to embolden violence or bring into the picture strong. No one should be a target. No one should pretend to have a target. We should change the focus of young people to esteem differences and embrace the others who do not think or look like us. Why pretend to shoot? Instead you can celebrate differences.
