Minecraft Research Paper

Most of you know that Minecraft is a fun loving game, but did you know it can be bad for some children? It can! But also, did you know that some parents hate Minecraft for specific reasons? Well, they do! My first argument is that at night, there are monsters! Then it can bully a child. In Minecraft, stay away from the chat bar! In the game of Minecraft, monsters will come for you, and try to assassinate you! This is harmful for a child because then the child might actually think that the monsters are real, and be afraid of the outside world! Some of the monsters on Minecraft is the spider, skeleton, creeper, enderman, zombie, and zombie pigmen. Each one has a different ability. The zombie can bite a villager, and turn them into
zombies also. But sometimes it doesn’t work and the zombies kill them. The zombies always burn in the daylight, unless in the shadows. Now for the zombie pigmen. The zombie pigmen are pigs hit by lightning, and they are all beaten up, and walk around, and actually run! They all run around with golden swords! Now, the creeper. If you hit a creeper, they sizzle, and might explode!
They only explode if you are close enough to them, but if you back away, they won’t explode! And now the skeleton. The skeleton is just like the zombie, only their made of bones. The skeletons have bows and arrows and will shoot you. Now, the enderman. The enderman’s weakness is water, so when it is raining, you have an advantage! Also, when an enderman is after you, you can just hide in the water and keep the enderman away! The enderman also teleports. And last but not least, the spider. The spider is one of the few creatures that don’t die by sunlight. The spider is the only mob that can crawl up walls! Having these kind of monsters in the fun game of Minecraft can also make a child believe that other monsters are real too, like Jason! This is what a real parent said, “But yet, at night time monsters come out and you have to fight them off with weapons and armor. This might scare your child into believing monsters do come out at night due to the world's realistic look.” Did you know that a child can get bullied by Minecraft? Well, lots of kids get bullied by a simple game! People on Minecraft gets bullied by random people going on a Minecraft server, and killing the same exact
person over and over again. It usually makes the little kid mad, because the kid usually knows that they are bullying them. One day, a child was playing Minecraft, and he got into a server. Later, these people started bullying him. When the child rage quitted, meaning to quit on the game, he went to his mom and told him about it. His mother and her child have said this. “I discovered that it is addictive, and kids will find a way to be violent with it. And the sharing aspect of the game makes it easy for kids attack each other. ‘It's supposed to be a building game, but it became a way for kids to gang up and bully me’”. If you look up on google, and put in, “How to bully someone in Minecraft,” it will show 9 videos on one page! They are all at sequel to each other! Also, do you know who grievers are? How about what they do? Well, on Minecraft, Grievers are people who can get on other people’s worlds. And guess what they do for fun, bad stuff like blow up a sculpture, or burn your house down, or something like that. Also, Grievers can get on random world and messing it up, until they're banned from that world. But if the Grievers are hackers, then they can get on a world that the Grievers banned from, and mess it up again! It is bad to bully someone, because you never know how bad they might think of it. Like for the child, he might just get over it, but it could stay for a while. It could stay for a day. It could even stay for a week! It also could have stayed for the rest of his life! Also, there is text on the bottom, left hand corner that shows you what people says. Since the Minecraft servers are open world, that means that anybody can get on! And when they get on, they can say whatever they want! I found a good site of people getting bullied so, if you could, please view here. For instance, the bullying that Minecraft would be doing is Cyber Bullying. Cyberbullying is bullying someone, on an electrical device. Most people get Cyber Bullied on social media apps. Also, did you know that people usually gets bullied the most on Facebook, Instagram? To find more information about cyberbullying, please click here. Plus, did you know that Minecraft has a chatting box inside of the game?
And when you get on a server, people usually use bad words. Also people use terrible words that little children should not hear, use, or read. This can be a terrible risk to a parent’s child, because they can read it, and tell other kids about it! They will tell the kids about the world and about what it is! Also, there is a thing called “Trolling.” Trolling is where someone gets on Minecraft, and tells kids that kind of stuff, and bullying a child. Also, Trollers say the bad words, and other bad stuff that kids shouldn’t listen to, hear, read, or use! One day, parent was watching her child play Minecraft. She noticed the text on the bottom left-hand corner. The mom said this about the game. “But what I am worried about is the hunger games. I've seen people uploading YouTube videos with swearing and also swearing in the right bottom corner of the screen, which I do not appreciate.” Well, now you know! Some parents doesn’t think Minecraft is good for their kids! Some of those reasons are because At night, there are monsters roaming around the world. Another reason why a parent doesn’t like Minecraft is because it can bully their child. The third and final reason is because of the bad text the people put on the lower-left hand screen. Well, now you know more about Minecraft, but now it is your choice, would you recommend it for your
child?
