High school violence in the news again. The last issue there have been three incidents in the news were last week. To make it even more shocking, this accident involved a middle school children. Seventh grade to be exact, which means that the average age of the pupils involved was eleven or twelve years.
Why is this happening? I do not think we can use the fingers on one ingredient in the soup that causes our children to each other and their targetTeachers. I think it's a combination of ingredients that brought the soup to a boil. I also believe that if you do not take rapid steps to correct the root causes, we can expect that more and more information, see the violence we see today. And 'certainly a cry for help.
In a series of four articles, I addressed what I feel to be the great separator of teen violence in our schools. Not least, these four factors is the constant use of violent videoGames.
In order to understand how our children are victims of violence, you must first understand how the brain works. The human brain is like a giant computer. It 'a tool that we use and learn, then master that we are to survive and function in the world. Collects volumes of information. Everything we do or say or do, feel or hear, in the brain is collected and stored for future use. If we need them, these "open saved" files, and allow us to select,Facilitate the situation we are now.
For example: We are not born knowing how to use the oven. We learn this information. Any information on how to turn on the stove, and how they are used presented. When we burn our fingers on a stove that information is saved and if you take the heater in the future, we will not always necessary to understand the burner still touch, can hurt us. Burn the files on your finger on fire "automatically, without having to openconscious thought for us.
Whenever we are faced with a problem or situation, the brain assumes no option file stored by us, and opens it for us. Our task is to decide which option is best to solve the problem and makes this information being used. Enter video games.
When playing a video game, if it is violent or not, there is always a goal for the game and of course try to play to win. When we play a new game for the first time, we must learn what steps weTo get to win. We research and retain information we need to get the game to succeed. This is perfect as an example that I have ever seen the setting of targets and chunking down the goal into small steps possible to reach our goal.
What is harmful to violent video games is that there is always an enemy. They come face to face with an opponent of wanting to beat her, his face even kill you, to keep you from winning the game. This enemy is usually heavily armed withHas the advantage of weapons or magical powers who have solutions that are forces to defeat him. You must pass through several levels of the game weapons and forces that be the same and to collect for the application to do.
Your enemy has a weakness of the State under the circumstances right to use and you can kill him before he kills you. Sometimes these games take weeks or months to conquer. They require game repetitive and long-term use at different levels of coverageKnow-how, before they reach and destroy the enemies.
Notice what happens here. Each time the game was set a target to reduce as much as possible in small steps until you reach the parts necessary to achieve the goal. This includes in violent video games, how and where to get weapons, how and where the enemy and know exactly what you must do to fulfill in order to eliminate him.
In each occurrence of high levels of violence in schools there is a perceptionEnemy. One or more persons that the child was to attack him or hear his band. This is usually a tyrant or a group of tyrants, humiliation and rejection pile in a child or a group of children. This person or persons, then the enemy. Why? Because of the obvious perception is that the brain is attacked. Why? Since the repeated use of violent video games on a daily basis is sometimes enhanced in the brain that someone is a threat to win the game, aEnemy and must be eliminated.
All these children want to target is to eliminate the humiliation or attack the brain and opens the file is stored. Now the game begins on a level of real life. Guess what 'open files to the solution of the problem.
In any incidence of school violence were complex and detailed plans with which students must achieve their goals. There are enormous obstacles to overcome, that she was, asSecurity of weapons, explosives and making tests and calculated times. This is exactly what they have learned how to do it on violent video games. Each time a violent video game, teaching is increasingly integrated into their heads and every time you play better to overcome obstacles in their way.
In fact, I'll go so far as to say that violent video games are training ground for the planning and execution of complex strategic game of war advanced.Unfortunately, the battlefield is our schools.
Children are naturally only players. You love to talk and how to get the feeling that when you conquer a complicated game and win. There is a feeling of great power and the right to win these games are not easy. We want to play to get to the next level and high intelligence to be repeated to see how the loss of the system.
The biggest problem is that when the brain's solution to this type of open filesProblem, there are enough other options to choose from. As parents and educators, we are not giving our children the ability to deal with perceived attacks, harassment or humiliation. Again, social acceptance is very important for children of middle and high schools. Here is the lock to start in 'their perception of their social position to live.
If we did our children life skills and tools to be able to address these problems, the response to this, instead of the handleresponse, the brain would be to select multiple files if the situation occurs. Unfortunately we can not give them the tools and skills they need, except for future reference.
Life is now more complicated. We are all busy. It takes both parents working in a family for the care of the family. Lone parents who are trying to retrieve only have returned immediately to come. The schools are overcrowded and curricula are poor, if not unhappy. It 'hard to get to class luxury, asLife sciences, where mathematics and English curricula are the rules. These statements are all true, but there is no excuse for not teaching what needs to be taught.
We do not give our children the information they need to have to take decisions, or other options for their problems. In their limited life experience, all they have to rely on problem solving is what they have learned. violent video games have quickly learned a lesson.
This is a vital necessityLife skills such as values, ethics, boundaries, problem solving and decision making are taught in our schools. E 'stamped urgent social acceptance and tolerance of bullying and programs must institute altogether.
If we deal with this, expect more violence on a larger scale of our children to see. Columbine, Red Lake, Riverton and North Pole are examples of a request for assistance from our youth. If we teach them a better way and adjust with more optionsto choose from, otherwise we have a whole generation.
