My topic : Shutdown law is unnecessary in Korea

What I hope to learn by this source
I wanted to learn about bad influences of shutdown law more specifically.

Notes

1. It is equal to treat gaming as alcohol or drug.

2. The problems of addictive behavior is not a falut of games.

3. Students don't have much free time in country, and they frequently use games to cope with school-related stress.

4.  parental influence is a key factor to game addiction . A broken home, or parents who just don't understand gaming, may lead to imbalanced children who don't know when to stop playig and star interacting with other people. -So the legal restrictions could be useful as a form of large-scale experiment in fighting compulsive behavior, but the critics believe that it's smarter to get parents playing a bigger role in their kids' lives.

Final thought

The game addiction is not a problem of game itself, but their environment such as less free time and parental influence. Thus even though the government prevents anyone under 16 from playing between midnight and 6AM, the real cause of game addiction cannot resolve.
