I am the Answer

When I first chose my topic, I wanted to write about how violent video games do not affect the violence cause by children who play them.  In every credible source I have found throughout my research, I have learned that there is no way to prove that violent video games do not affect violence in the children who play them.  It has been proven over and over that violent video games cause violence in children who play them.  The discrepensy I have found however, is the definition for "violence."  There is no working definition for violence in any of my sources; some call is "aggression" while others call it "violence."  Both words are similar, however proving my new topic, without this working definition is hard.  I want to explain that violent video games do cause aggression in the form of outbursts, and temporary rage, but do not cause things school shootings, or killing sprees. So when some of my sources say "violence" or "aggression," what does it mean?  Does it mean killing sprees and school shootings or does it mean outbursts and short "tantrums."
Then, earlier in the day, it hit me.  I am the definition of aggression and violence.  I have played violent video games for much of my life.  I know through past experience that violent video games do cause violence, but violence to me means temporary outbursts and swearing.  When I would die in a game, it provoked mean to scream loudly or swear at the other player.  I have been known to throw my headset or controller if I get extremely frustrated.  The picture I am inserting is of my old headset from playing video games.  The story goes like this: I was playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, a violent video game where you kill other soldiers and terrorists, about two years ago, when my sister walked in front of the television just to make me mad.  I was doing really good in the game and when she walked in front of the television I proceeded to die.  I got super mad at her that I threw the headset at the wall, and it broke.

I am not alone, you can go online to Youtube and search for other kids who rage at violent video games.  Some are very funny, and some are very sad.  I have found a handful of kids whom get so mad, they end up breaking their video games systems worth at least $250, imagine being their parent.  This is the definition, in my opinion, for "aggression" or "violence." It is not murdering, or bullying other people such as the Columbine shootings or the Beltway murders, but having temporary outbursts while playing a game, such as swearing or throwing a controller.
