Vital to regulate contents of video games
MANY researchers have warned that those who spend hours browsing social networking sites might suffer from various health problems like depression, loneliness, anxiety, traumatic stress, lethargy and sleep disorders. People are considered Internet addicts if they spend 1.5 hours or more on online activities.Different behavior modification techniques are required to cure anyone of Internet addiction but most importantly we need an effective prevention system to protect the young generation from immoral sites, which may influence social behavior and the law, particularly the online games (short fight, war clips and lyrics). These games may lead to the spread of violence and aggression that have a negative impact on our private and public lives. The youth might imitate the criminal acts in these games and use the online ways of solving problems in real life. Online games have become a source of aggression and innocent individuals have fallen victim to this violence. We can cite as an example the random stabbing incidents on the streets in many countries, some of which have escalated to organized crimes.In the Internet world, it is necessary to regulate the contents of games and establish a legal government body to protect the whole society, especially the youth. Efforts to prevent the spread of crimes have become futile due to our inability to control the virtual crimes, which lead to a new society ready to engage in criminal acts in the real world.Kuwait and the entire world must not completely rely on the Internet. They should encourage face-to-face communication for people to live in the natural and real world, instead of spending most of their time in the virtual world. We should stop regarding online fear and insecurity as part of the reality.
