In a computer shop, I was bothered by an 8-year child who was playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas . I could not understand why he was happy after killing people in the street. He kept stabbing people in the street and blooded graphics scattered all over. I was saying to myself, "Damn!" I was saddened by his reaction when he laughed a bit or snickered on his blooded and suffering victim. Instead of care and love for others, he was happy for the death of others. I did not know how his mind was being formed by his parents and family. Was he hated? Was he bullied? Is he living in an environment of quarreling and violence?
How many children are playing this game since it is distributed worldwide? Though this activity is better than suppression which helps self awareness but this must be addressed professionally. This is a visible sign of social problems.
On the other hand, children raised in fair or normal upbringing may tend to adopt the games style of killing. Children should be guided daily in their activities and not just leave them play unattended or without questions being asked and no proper direction is being taught.
