So, I'm writing an argumentatvie speech about why games does not make people violent. But I'm stuck at a part of the speech that we are supposed to include "Outline of major points: Give facts and information about your topic to make sure your audience knows a little about what you are arguing for/against." that's the part, but I have no idea if there is any kind of facts about my topic, like statics or whatever. I can bring up opinions on why games does not make people violent/why they do make people violent. I don't know if this an absolute shit thread, or if I posted in the wrong section. Also sorry for shit English.
If you can't find the data, then your argument is fucked.
It's even harder since there isn't really an organized institution devoted to the psychological study of game design. Best place to start would be [url]www.gamasutra.com[/url]. It's the closest place I can think of that would resemble anything close to a journal you could source.
You can try digging through some psychology databases if you have access to some, but my experience has taught me that this doesn't turn up the best results in this field.
Worst comes to worst, you can always create your own data. Create a survey and have your fellow classmates fill it out. If you can come up with some data that disproves the argument that video games cause violence, then you've done good. But be ready to have a hard time looking for data to support your argument. There is allot of data on the other side of the spectrum, and for all we know maybe they're right.

Unless someone has the data and is willing to link us to it? I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one interested in it.

Yeah, I know, that's why I made this thread. But due to the recent shootings so is there a bunch of people who says diffrent opinions on why games causes violence. My teacher did tell me that it was fine if I just said opinions instead of facts if I were unable to find any surverys or something along those lines.
