My Argumentative Essay So Far

So far my research has been going very smoothly and I have been able to get all the information I have wanted so far. So far I have written 10 notecards and I have narrowed down my topic so I won't stretch my argument to thin. The breakthrough for me so far was the discovery of a long term study done on violence in video games from 1996-2011. In the study the researcher compared the use of video games and violence from the time period and discovered that crime had not increased but actually decreased. They came to the conclusion that video games had no effect on teen violence. Another breakthrough I had was the discovery of another study that stated it is not the video games that cause kids to be violence but their surroundings. The most surprising thing I found was the basis of the pro video games cause violence group. They base their claim by a handful of shootings that have the shooters attribute to video games. First, these shootings are a drop of water in an ocean compared to all other violence that is happening and the people who have killed people because video games are mostly mentally disabled.
