Video Games: Influence or no?

After reading the assigned material; I came to a conclusion about video games. I feel that video games can be seen as entertainment as well as being an influence on someone's life. It really depends on how your mind works. Meaning weak-minded people are easily influenced than others. Also how you were raised plays a role in it. If you were brought up to know that violence is not the answer then obviously this will have some impact on the influence a video can have on you. I also feel like different video games portray different things. Grand theft auto teaches bad things daily. I read an article that stated yes, it shows entertainment, but it reenacts everything gangs do all over the world. This is basically showing people nation-wide that it is fine to be in a gang and do these bad things. Although this games have ratings and are rated M for mature doesn't mean that everyone matures at the same age. Every person doesn't mature at the age 16, 18, or 21. Sometimes it takes more time to mature. People vary everyday. It is so easy for young kids to get a hold of these games not meant for them by being around older people things and being nosy or invading others property. Not only do these video games teach violence they teach many other crimes such as: armed robbery, graffiti and possession. All of these things are things that happen everyday for some people. These games condone bad acts from everyone.
