Title: Online Gaming: Are restrictions the way forward?

Synopsis: Video games is a billion pound industry; bigger than the movie industry and North American sports combined. Is it no wonder than that China has recognised the negative effects of video games on children, and has taken the bold step of placing restrictions on how long children can spend on this activity each week.

In this episode of Pathway to Peace, the Presenters will be discussing the background behind these restrictions and why China felt they were necessary; how as parents do we recognise the dangers of video gaming addiction; what the size of the problem here in the UK is and as per usual, what Islamic guidance is available to us regarding the pursuit of such past times.

Presenters: Dr Aalia Khan & Shirrin Shaikh
