Educação pode mudar sua vida

The makers of a controversial computer game about bullying decided to go ahead and launch it despite calls for it to be banned. In the game, players are new students at a school and have to fight the bullies, by punching them or hitting them with a baseball bat. Critics said that the game encourages violence, but the makers deny this and say that, while there is violence in the game, it is just a copy of school life, besides; the violence in the game is directed against the bullies to protect students who are being bullied. The makers also say that players will learn to stand up to bullies. A British politician, a former minister, has called for it to be banned as it might affect the way young people perceive violence. Anti-bullying organizations have said that the game might make people respond violently to bullies, which might make things more complicated and result in injuries.
