different thesis statements for video game

The video game that i am writing about is called Assassins Creed

My first idea for a thesis is to write about vigilantism and how i believe that it is not morally or ethically wrong but it is a major controversy.

My second idea is to write about how ethically wrong it is to keep and treat someone as an experiment against their will.

My third idea is to write about how morally and ethically wrong it is to try and make and entire race believe in your own beliefs as the Christians did during the crusade.

Two video game articles

My first article is called Playing video games seems to have few serious acute adverse effects on health
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/324/7346/1159
This article is stating that video games are not as bad for people as other people say they are. The writer goes on to say that most negative effects of video games are usually mild and will disappear once the person stops playing the games and they occur in children and young adults who play the games excessively. They also go on to say that there are positive side effects to playing video games as well, like relieving the pain from children who have undergone chemotherapy.

My second article is called Featured Report:Emotional and Behavioral Effects of Video Games and Internet Overuse
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/17694.html
This article is about the pros and cons of abusing video games and the Internet. It goes to describe the most common video game players and the potential benefits and side effects mentally and physically of playing video games for long periods of time. It also describes the behavioral effects and the attempts to control game content so it doesn't make people as violent and aggressive.
