Gaming Curfew

Did you know in China there is a gaming curfew? People can only have 90 minutes on weekdays from 8am to 10pm and on the weekends and public holidays people can only have 3 hours. Did you also know that children aged from as little from 8 to 18 can spend at least $30 bucks on gaming each month? And did you know that in one year children can spend up to $360?

 Gaming can be classified dangerous but only if you ‘overuse’ the purpose. First of all Gaming can become addictive,- A condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity- games such as Fortnite,mobile device games like Candy Crush,Prodigy and other games can be addictive. There’s also now a military-style camp for parents whose children are addicted to games. WHO-World Health Organization- has also found a disorder for gaming. A gaming disorder does not just mean for a person to play video games a bit too much.
WHO has classified it as a much more deliberate condition,which has a very negative impact on a person's well-being.
It can be recognized by these symptoms:

• Impaired control over gaming-When a person is playing games for a various period of time,very regularly,without the ability to stop themselves from doing so. 
• Increasing priority given to the gaming to the quantity that gaming takes precedence over life interest and daily activities- When a person place’s gaming more important than daily activities like eating,washing,going to the toilet or even leaving the house. 
• Continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences- When a person is unable is stop gaming, despite it having a significant strong negative impact on their personal wellbeing, family, school or work life, and social ability. 

In order for a person to officially be diagnosed with this order they have to be shown all above symptoms to a very extreme level for at least 12 months. This gaming order has to be more than playing video games a little to much.

I am going to reason why gaming is also a positive thing.

Gaming can help improve a lot of things like:

•  Your concentration-span- An obvious thing to point out about gaming as the person/people playing the game need to concentrate. 
• Magnified teamwork contribution-When a person playing a video game, the person needs to work as a team in a multiplayer game. Even though the person is working as a team she or he needs to be able to make decisions for the team.
•  Improved motor-skills- Playing video games also needs some fine motor-skills-When a person has to move the fingers and the thumbs on various buttons very efficiently and very precis.This may not be found in all video games. 
• Enriched social-skills-Most people playing games online like to guide people in helping the team or duo to win or find the objective of the game.

 I hope you can decide either limiting gaming with a curfew or let people decide how long we can play games for.
