Please, comment on my summary of an essay!

Computer games have seriously caught the attention of Mass Media and nowadays every channel mentions how much damage these games cause to children and adults. Every other person says that the reason lies in games being too close to reality. But are the games really the cause of violence?
Games originally are entertainment. Contemporary games are very realistic and for this reason they are a source of great experience for the player and develop the imagination. In addition, the player preferring active games get an improvement of some types of brain activity, related to processing of visual information. The “gaming” violent experience may not be the cause of violent behavior in reality. A game is an abstraction. But what if a person gets so much excited with the game scenes that he becomes violent in reality? Then, it proves that the games cause people to become violent
A psychologically healthy person will never confuse or connect these two different worlds. A game is a virtual world with visual images very similar to human. A game may potentially give the opportunity to “destroy the obstacles” that may not be destroyed according to the rules but it is more about personal choice whether to do it or not. This leads us to the conclusion that violence is not a consequence but the cause.
