What in your eyes is BAD

[Jazzy Stardust]

Is violence in video games bad?

Sort of, I think it makes it less shocking when you see violent things. Example would be why older people from other generations see you playing a violent video game and are just horrified. They don't have the nullification to it that we do.

 

[Umari Senju]

No.

Violent games won't turn people violent. Otherwise, we would have a much higher % of people that play video games and kill because of that.
People nowadays act like this "he murdered, oh wait, he played video games, there you go, it's the game fault" without even trying to investigate further problems in the person's life.

The thing is: it's easy to blaim the video game, when the parents aren't carefully raising their children and teaching them what's wrong and right, what's real and what's fiction. If the parents did this, the kid can play any GTA that he/she won't turn into a serial killer.
It's just up to the parents to take care of their kids. When they don't, instead of blaiming theirselves, they blaim the "myth", because it's easier.

I would +rep you for this if I could. You are spot on here. This right and wrong concept is entirely societal. It all comes down to consequences. There are deeds we deem bad that can have positive consequences. And good deeds that can lead to bad consequences. Right and wrong come to a matter of perspective.

In the case of video games, they having ratings for a reason. Parents would rather let their child sit in front of the tv, consol, PC, smartphone, etc for a moment of quiet but tend to overlook the fact that they just bought their child a game intended for adults, or they don't realize their 8 year old is watching Walking Dead. Instead of introspection and parental correction, they caste the blame to an external source...

Besides.....

It can't be the parent's fault right? They are infallible when it comes to these sorts of things XD

Exactly. Young kids are usually impressionable and they copy the actions they see. However, if they're parents are present to show them what's right and wrong, not a problem at all, even if they play GTA, skyrim, assasin's creed or whatever.
It's easier to blam external sources as you said, but acknowledging one's mistake, that's somthing you don't usually see.

As for wrong and right, I partially disagree. I don't think it's a matter of perspective at all, but as you said, it's related to the consequences.

Bad/evil is any action that harms society or life in society. That's because we, humans, gathered and created this "connected" style of life. What we do do not affect us only, it affects other people as well. So, if you do something that harms other citizens in any way, your action was bad/evil. So, if the consequences of their actions are negative for other people, his action is bad.

The best way to see if the consequences are of something are bad or good is: imagine if everybody else did the same. We're all citizens, we get the same rights. If one can do, we all can.

 

[AnimusOra]

You should be asking is affluence bad?

 

[Positive Human]

If you have 2 iPhone 5s', do you think it's okay if somebody stole one of them?
I mean, you still have one.

 

[Kαmi]

Is stealing from the rich BAD?

Yes, stealing from anyone is bad.

Is violence in video games bad?

Nah, video games don't make a person violent and they are just games.

Is selling your body BAD? (Both male & female)

Nope, people can do what they want with their body as it is their body.

 

[BlacLord™]

Is selling your body BAD? (Both male & female)

Not as long as it's person's choice to do so, in which case, it's their body to do whatever they want with it.

Actually, IMO the things we view decencitizes us to problems around us. So while it doesn't go out and make you become violent you become somewhat more tolerant of it. Also children who's minds are easily impressionable could view the behavior seen in GTA as an imitatable course and reason that they could do the things performed in these games.

This is why children shouldn't play adult content video games

Of course stealing from the rich is bad, in most cases. Most of them probably worked hard for that money, and even if they didn't, there's no reason for you deserving it more than them.

The only situation where I feel that it'd be okay to steal from someone rich would be if they stole it themselves.

Is not helping the needy BAD? (Eg. helping the elderly, helping a parent to carry their buggy, in all helping someone that you don't know whilst in the street)

 

[-immortal-]

To bad it is. If you steal you're poor and Sad. Hope then i hope ur mom dies ! death and Devil Stole her life. funny ain't it?

 

[YowYan]

Depends. If the rich stole it from the poor under protection of the law, I call it justice if you steal it back. The law is just made to keep the poor under the rich man's thumb.

Is not helping the needy BAD? (Eg. helping the elderly, helping a parent to carry their buggy, in all helping someone that you don't know whilst in the street)

Not to me, it's not like people should go around expecting to be helped by strangers. Granted, I do help people when I can more times than not because that's just how I was brought up, I wouldn't say someone is bad person for not helping the elderly or a stranger. In fact, given the context of the situation, it's possible that that person could be an inconvenience for someone else. So no, I don't think this would be a bad thing as well.

Making you tolerant is indeed a fact. But I don't see it as a problem necessarily. Just because you're more tolerant doesn't mean you don't know that is wrong. You'll be more cold for this kind of thing, but you'll still realize how bad it is. If you had good parents to teach you, that is

As for the kids, Young kids are usually impressionable and they copy the actions they see. However, if they're parents are present to show them what's right and wrong, not a problem at all, even if they play GTA, skyrim, assasin's creed or whatever.
Parents have this "job". To teach their children what is wrong and what is right, and to show them that if you do something wrong, you'll face the consequences. If this job is well done, the kid will know that what they're doing in the game is wrong and that the game is just fiction.
Of course, kids TOO young won't even understand what's real or not, so there's a limit age there. But usally, that's how it goes.

It's easier to blam external sources as you said, but acknowledging one's mistake, that's somthing you don't usually see.

Not necessarily. Not helping them doesn't mean you're harming them, you're not making the situation worse.
You have your own life, and your own problems. So sometimes you won't even be able to help. You can't think of the good of the others if that will harm yourself and it will make you do things you can't.

If you're able to, it will be a good action if you help them. But as I said, not helping them=/= harming, so you can choose not to help. It will make you a little selfis, though. You can, but you don't want to.

 

[Kishi Uzumaki]

If your doing something with a bad intention , it's bad .
stealing is bad , which way you put it , it's taking something , that's not belongs to you .

 

[~Cherry~]

Stealing is bad,no matter how you put it.
