Topic-The impacts of Social Mobile Games and Media on Young Adults

Abstract

Social mobile games include social elements that allow players to communicate with one another via texts and social media while playing. Additionally, numerous experts have proved that playing social media games can enhance and strengthen relationships and allow people to socialize with others by immersing themselves in the game world (Boulianne et.al., 2020).

On the other contrary, playing video games, particularly violent shooting games, may benefit students’ growth, health, and social skills, according to a psychologist’s review of data. The study comes as psychologists and other health professionals continue to debate the influence of violent media on young people.

Another study found that playing a game with the reality behaviour of death did not result in an increase in aggressive behaviour. As a result, a 2016 research on children aged 6 to 11 found no connection between the amount of time spent playing video games and the children’s emotional and mental health, as well as their behaviour(Gonçalves 2020).

Furthermore, when it comes to demonstrating theoretical models and viewpoints, it has been discovered that it is difficult to understand any theory or theoretical viewpoint that can describe the diverse ways that people interact with technology and the news (Threadgold et.al., 2017).

People may watch television, see advertisements wrapped around a bus or college, read publications in a dentist’s reception area, and so on, not to mention all-new media forms such as Instagram, Facebook, blogs, YouTube, and so on (Buchanan et.al., 2018).
