CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Online games is very popular today to this modern

era.

Students nowadays are very prone to the genetic influence of

technology. They have most major portion on the gaming rather

than their school performance or academic matters. Knowing

that there is a huge scratch to academic performance when you

become addictive on using technology, epidemics are touching

students one by one.

Keating and Sunakawa (2010) has suggested that

online gamers must adopt socially to the new modalities,

recognize and re-examine and how meaning is made within this

virtual environment, and consider how to use new users to

provide and interpret meaning such as body movement,

gestures, repetition, and tools within their game environments.

Online gaming is a new interest that has the

potential to impair pupil’s school performance. We remark that

when we play online games, “it feels so nice even if you to stop

playing online games; you can’t just stop since it’s highly

addicted once you start playing.” Others may play incessantly,

causing them to overlook basic necessities such as eating and

relaxing. And this could have an impact on the obsessive

gamer’s social life and behaviors.

According to our personal experience, we play online games to

enjoy ourselves and kill the boredom. Other technology-inclined

individual waste several hours playing instead undertaking

more crucial task such as studying. Online role playing games,

according to the site “encourages contact amongst other

individuals and formation, allowing people to flourish socially

online, giving an escape for their suffering social life”, but they
damage a “good social life”. Some online games began playing

online games since elementary and have continued to do so

until now.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Online games are video games played over the internet

or computer networks, available on various platform like

consoles, PC’s and mobile devices. They encompass diverse

genres, from action and strategy to role-playing games.

Designs vary from simple text based games to immersive

graphics and virtual words. Online features can be minimal, like

leaderboards, or core to gameplay, enabling multiplayer

interactions. Many online games Foster their own communities,

while others, like social games, integrate players real-life social

network.

Online gaming culture faces criticism for promoting toxic

behavior like xenophobia, violence, cyber bullying. Concerns

also exists about addiction and social stigma. Despite this,

online games attract diverse players worldwide. Researchers

study online gaming to understand virtual social interaction and

real-life behavior. Some argue that online multiplayer

experience are similar to playing with AI due to limited player

communication.

Excessive online gaming can have severe consequences, di

scripting daily life and potentially leading to negative behaviors

like lying, theft, and neglecting school. This is because gaming

addiction, a compulsive need for and overuse of games, can

cause significant change in behavior on priorities. The issue is

particularly relevant for the students or your people (ages 12-

29) due to their increased internet access and higher risk of

overuse.
