Violence in video games

The post before is a youtube video to a game I found for PC, which is actually really graphic in terms of violence. In the game, you have the opportunity to kill people, with guns, chop people up with machetes, fire cats out of guns, and all sorts. This sort of thing shouldnt be for young people to play, as it has been proven by science that this can have an impact on children, and encourage them to be voilent themselves. This is going to be the main point behind my campaign, as focusing on health risks as well, is too much, as their is already controversy with this issue. There is already information available on health risks, but not on the effects voilent video games can have on young people. This is the issue that I need to make more aware in order for the campaign to work, and in order to work, I will target the parents, as they are the ones that buy the games for the children, and the children themselves, as they could possibly be buying it, and they will be the ones playing it.
