Children in this day and age continue to be less and less interested in being physically active in some way or another. (Keep in mind I don't know if this is an increasing phenomenon in other areas besides America and GB) It is remarkable to me how many young boys I see playing games which are rated M (rated R for video games).. These particular games are full of very realistic blood shed and involve the person playing as a human being, killing other beings in practically anyway they wish..
So many young children play these types of games.. I recall one claiming to be 6 years old before. How much they play the game is viewable as well.. Lets just say that I find it a bit discomforting to see that a 7 year old child plays such a game for a total amount of over 48 hours in a single week..
What has happened to kids, let alone childhood in general? When I was at this age I was outside with my friends, involving myself in some sport, or just being active in general. The last thing that was on my mind was spending my entire day playing a video game or watching TV. Childhood is completely different then it used to be for many children. Now a days, children are being exposed to things they are not meant to be practically everywhere they turn, and in my opinion, these things are harmful.
What are your views on this? Why has 'childhood' changed over time in such a drastic way? Discuss
