[1의14 심준용] I agree with your opinion that severe game addiction can cause social harm, but I cannot be in the same stance in five points. You said that game addicts cannot concentrate on other works except games but it is the error of generalization and is too exaggerated. Also, you argued that game addicts know the reason why they are addicted to game but you did not mentioned about it in the essay. Moreover, you insisted that diagnosing game addiction is a hard thing to do. As you said, because its criteria are vague, we need a certain standard to determine game addiction. That certain standard, however, is not suggested and this is why I disagree with your opinion that game addiction should be classified as a disease. Another reason why I disagree is that we have no need to change the current institution. Your argument about classifying game as a disease was that those who are addicted need hospital treatment. However, even though now it is not classified as a disease, we can take part in lots of campaign or can get medical, psychological care from mental hospital. In other words, we do not have to change the current institution just for to help the addicts to get medical help. Lastly, you said that we should classify game addiction as a disease because there are lots of programs for game addiction. I could not get the point and I personally think that it has any logical link between classifying game addiction as a disease. Thank you.
