Argument Essay Outline


          I remember when video games were first introduced into my life. I was about 5 years old when they were introduced to me. My dad bought a PlayStation 2 for my brother and I. Ever since then, I’ve always had a big passion for video games. Video games has always been a positive outlet for basically my whole life. The popularity in video games will always increase because even when the older kids grow up, they’ll still have some passion left in playing these games while as younger kids grow up, they will soon find this type of entertainment something that they cannot put down. With the popularity of video games, they’ll always be people who instead of looking at the positive aspects of video games, will focus on the negative aspects. Video games can teach people, especially young kids to make friends, learn to set goals, have confidence, have a competitive drive, and most importantly; to have fun. With these positive outcomes of video games, many people still see them as huge negatives. These people like to think that video games can cause laziness, obesity, and committing crimes in real life. From my experience, as someone who plays a lot of video games, I find myself contradictory to the previous statements. With laziness, the real question is; who isn’t lazy? Laziness is something that all humans have. Nobody wants to work 24/7 and are in need of some free time. Video games are an important past time for people with many positive outcomes.
