population.
All sensor data has uncertainty.
The total number of social media accounts
exceeds the entire global population.
This data is highly uncertain in both its
expression and content.

On the other hand, I would like to note the
following claims that oppose the topic.
Violence in video games is not causally linked
with aggressive tendencies.
In addition, most children who play violent
games do not have problems.
Finally, video game play is part of an
adolescent boy's normal social setting.
You have selected the topic, the sale of
violent video games to minors should
be banned.
I would like to raise the following points
in support of the topic.
Exposure to violent video games results
in increased physiological arousal,
aggression-related thoughts and
feelings as well as decreased prosocial
behavior.
In addition, these violent games or lyrics
actually cause adolescents to commit
acts of real-life aggression. Finally,
violent video games can increase
children's aggression.
