Prince Harry video on fortnite:

• The main points are that he thinks the game is irresponsible and wants it banned as its an addiction which leads to people playing it for a long time.
• I disagree because i think that all games can be played for a long time but because its popular its more noticeable that its played for a long time.

Healthcare triage on video games:

• The main points are that violent games give you violent thoughts and sad books give you sad thoughts so your feelings can be brought out by anything not just games. After playing the games for a while you'll become less hostile because your used to it more.

• If shown violence they will copy it and will imitate the behaviours of others so 3-6 year olds shouldn't be playing. video games according to his theory.
• I disagree with his theory as if you teach your child how to behave they will follow what you do and not imitate others .
