In fact, as per the source finding, gaming seems to have an overrated viewpoint, it is more like a concern of the parents about preventing their kinds from getting addicted to a specific genre of gaming. Adam reviews the statistical data from the 1990s, and states that from the time of inventing violent games affecting juvenile minds, the crime ratio done in society actually reduced dramatically, if seen from a juvenile criminal activity point of view. He concludes that the intervening of government and legislations would possibly eliminate the thin line of difference between the entertainment and addiction and it is the responsibility of parents to ensure what their kids are going to view in this respect.How do you know that this is a credible/scholarly source? (1 pt)Adam’s approach is credible as he supports his argument by putting forward some evidence in the form of data. Also, there is cohesive analysis of the policy making procedure in the article which makes it clear to the reader that the conclusion drawn is worth trusting.
