-          Briefly Paraphrase (3 sentences)

Beck’s argument is clearly stated when he talks about his video game. He looks through history seeing that people in WW2 were having trouble killing other humans. Now years later many men can shoot someone without much thought when it comes to war. He says now boys can experience what soldiers in WW2 had to go through for only 60 dollars. With technology kids are being exposed to violence and Beck says that the games are to blame for all of the homicides that go on today.  With Grand Theft Auto getting so big so are the numbers of homicides. Beck believes this is crazy and should be stopped.

-          Analysis of the video

Video games are becoming more and more violent for kids. Like Beck said violence in video games are causing kids to think that killing is okay and lets them kill without much hesitation in the game so why not in real life. Violence in video games are becoming a huge concern for the commonwealth of society.
