Gaming: Helpful and Harmful aspects

        Gaming:  Helpful and Harmful aspects

   

Introduction:

Gaming is such a form of entertainment which is available  for everyone. Its such a broad category as there is something in there for every occasion and mood. Nowadays gaming has developed so much that people of all ages are getting engaged in it. They spent hours in gaming even pay for it sometimes. Many people even got rid of their anxiety and depression through gaming. Gaming has reached the pinnacle of entertainment as one can play games of any genre depending on their mood. But sometimes gaming can even be harmful. Sometimes people get addicted to gaming by spending too much time in it. Such addictions may lead to worse consequences.

Helpful Aspects: 

Gaming is filled with tons of helpful aspects. Video games improve our cognitive abilities especially our visuospatial skills and concentration. By visuospatial ability we mean the ability to recognize and relate between objects. Such skills may help in everyday life like driving, finding way in cities, find certain solutions of problems. Spatial ability can also be helpful in several fields of study like mathematics, natural sciences, engineering etc. Many gamers develop a great deal of planning, strategic thinking. Thus it makes sense they are so much good in  solving brain dedicating problems. The gamers are also proven more efficient and accurate than non-gamers. A study included 18 gamers and 18 non gamers to complete a simple screen based task. As the test carried on, the test showed the gamers performed the work with more speed and accuracy than the non-gamers thus proving the gamers more accurate. Another benefit of gaming is the promotion of team work. In video games like Counter Strike, Fortnite, Roblox one player has to help or co-operate his fellow teammates in order to win. This also develops his views for the real world. In a study performed by Brigham Young University, those who played video games performed up to 20% better than in teamwork than non-gamers.(Benefits)








Harmful Aspects:



Although gaming is filled with many helpful aspects it's bad aspects are also worth mentioning. Aggression is one of the major problems of  gaming. Several  studies proves that, when we play video games our amygdala comes down thus leading our feelings to suppress. Aggression is one of the withdrawal symptoms of gaming disorder. Gaming can also affect our  physical health besides mental health. Poor sleep hygiene, dehydration, heart problems, obesity are the ways that gamers often go through. Gamers stay awake all night to play video games, they loose their time count and spend hours of their valuable time in playing video games. This often lead to heart diseases, obesity. Dehydration also may occur as gamers forget to drink water as they are so much busy in winning a mission in a certain video game. Thus gaming may have harmful affects to both mental and physical lifestyle.(Demirits)

Yearning to See a More Beautiful Sunrise

"The sky is always beautiful. Even when it's dark or rainy or cloudy, it's still beautiful to look at. It'll be there no matter what and I know it'll always be beautiful." - Colleen Hoover.  During the sunrise and sunset, even at the golden hours, the sky looks the finest. Sky picks colors like dark scarlet, crimson, peach, flamingo, lavender, chestnut, etc. If I could stare at them for the rest of my life, I am sure I would never even hesitate once.
