Venue: W104.
Time: 11:20 AM.
Chairman: Abdullah Ali.
Secretary: Hasan Mubarak.
Participant: Hamdan Mohamed,
Abdul Kareem.
Problem: Video games effect
on teenagers and kids.
Abdullah Ali started the meeting by
greeting his members then he talked about the effects of video games on
teenagers and kids to find solutions, he started with an introduction and then
he said the agenda for this problem which are:
1) Behavior: disorder
symptoms.
2) Bad effect on study
performance.
3) Social problems.
4) The effect of
playing violent games on children.
In the beginning I mentioned
that the parents should take the children to see a psychiatrist to
let them see the bad effect of sitting a long time playing the video games.
Hamdan said that the parents should keep in touch with the teachers and
encourage their children to get high marks in the school. Abdul Kareem said the
parents should communicate with their kids and take them every weekend for a
trip to keep them away from video games. Finally for the last point Abdullah
admonished the parents who should look after their children and keep them away
from violent games or even stay with them when they play these games and don’t
let them practice these games on others. Abdullah admonished the parents and said they
should advise their teenage children that this is just a game and they mustn’t
practice it in real life.
Recommendation:
Ø Seeing a psychiatrist is a good idea but our
society thinks that anyone who goes and sees a psychiatrist is crazy and
because of this it’s difficult for the children to accept this idea.
Ø Keeping the parents in touch with the teachers will
help the parents very much with their children to know the academic achievement
and will encourage the children to study more to get what will help them.
Ø Going out on a trip will give the children and
parents a good communication between them and thus will reduce the time of
children sitting alone and spending their time playing video games.
Ø Violent games are harmful
and parents should not allow their children to play them.
I
learned how to share solutions with our members, having self-confident and how
to convince others. Finally it was very interesting meeting and I hope that the
teenagers and kids will take our solutions.
At the
end the chairman Abdullah closed the meeting by thanking all of us at
11:45
AM.
