Video games

I was really surprised at the video game section.  It talked about whether video games teach or release violence.  I have heard a lot of studies about violent video games, saying that students who play video games have a greater chance of becoming violent, but I always thought that it could be that people who are aggressive are more attracted to violent video games.  However, I was really surprised when it talked about the studies that talked about how people with low hostility are more likely to get into fights if they play video games.  They also did studies of nongamers and found that they were more likely to get into fights if they started playing video games.  It was really rather sad.  I don't game myself, but I have nothing against it.
