Motivation
Since 1995, South Korea is well known for the fact that professional gaming has a very substantial following in the country with top
players earning big money prizes in World’s competitions. However, for some reasons, the South Korean national assembly passed a revision
of the Juvenile Protection Act in 2011. The online game Shutdown law forces online game providers to shutdown their services for teenagers
(aged 16 and under) from midnight to 6 am. This law is still applying nowadays, and I wonder how the video and online games affect
children, and I think that this law will be a big obstacle for children who want to be a pro-gamer and developing E-sports.
Problem statement
1. Research the positive and negative effects of playing games.
2. The South Korean government ignores the teen’s right to play games when they want it.
3. Is playing game addiction related to crimes and damages to society?
