A2 Coursework idea

Q: How far does the 1st person shooter genre affect the attitudes and behavior of young people?

Research:

  • Crimes previously blamed on games of this genre
  • Statistics on positive and negative effects this genre typically has on people
  • Controversy surrounding violent games such as Call Of Duty and not games that have potential violence such as The Sims
  • Does this genre of games encourage people to use weapons
  • Questionnaire/interview results? 
Primary Research
This will mainly surround specific 1st person shooter games such as CoD and Battlefield and research on how they affect young people depending on how much they play the games. I will look into how the aim of all these games is too kill as many people as possible and how this aim may affect different people perhaps based on different personality traits.

Secondary research
I will look at a range of different texts that will help me in my research. I will do this to triangulate my sources and make my conclusion to the question more reliable. I may include the opinions of different people on this genre compared to other genre of games.

Current relevant examples are happening seemingly every day be sure to capture these events in your research investigation.
