Video Games Tied to Creativity AOW #13

This week I found an article about a study done with 491 middle school students that proves that playing video games makes one more creative.  How they studied this was they asked the students how often they played video games, and then put them in a category.  After that, they gave them a Torrance test, which gave the student a curved line on a piece of paper and they were told to draw a picture on it, give it a title, and write a story on it.  The results of this test proved that playing video games (violent or non-violent) gives an individual more creativity.  This article was written by science daily authors for the purpose of informing those who had questions about this correlation. Many people believed that there was a correlation, but they could never be sure, until finding out through this article.  I believe that this article did accomplish its purpose through the use of ethos and logos.  Their logos was done with quoting many other scientists who are more informed on the subject, and talking about the study.  This then helped build the ethos through showing that they know what they are talking about and also using diction that makes them sound more knowledgeable.
