  True
• What is a primary concern of opponents regarding simulated killing?

  Desensitization to violence
• What is one negative psychological effect of simulated killing?

  Increased aggression
• Simulated killing involves virtually or digitally killing a character without any real-world consequences
• Simulated killing is illegal and morally condemned.

  False
• Steps in military training simulations involving simulated killing:

  1️⃣ Train soldiers in combat scenarios

  2️⃣ Engage virtual enemies

  3️⃣ Improve strategic thinking
• Match the ethical arguments for and against simulated killing:

  Useful for military training ↔️ Desensitization to real violence

  Exploration of violent themes ↔️ Aggressive behavior and psychological harm

  Stress release ↔️ Moral responsibility in virtual killing
• Simulated killing is a virtual, digital act with no real consequences
• Simulated killing scenarios allow for the exploration of violent situations in a safe, consequence-free environment
• Simulated killing is a virtual, digital act with no real consequences
• Simulated killing is useful for military and law enforcement training
• Simulated killing is useful for military and law enforcement training because it provides safe practice in combat situations.


  True
• What is one positive psychological effect of simulated killing?

  Stress release
• Moral responsibility in simulated killing is universally agreed upon.

  False
• What is one key difference between simulated killing and real-world killing?

  Real consequences
• What is an example of simulated killing in first-person shooter games?

  Killing enemy characters
• Flight simulators can be used to practice simulated killing of enemy aircraft.


  True
• Opponents of simulated killing are concerned it may lead to desensitization
• The social implications of simulated killing include concerns about desensitization and normalization of violence
• Arrange the regulatory steps for real-world killing:

  1️⃣ Investigation

  2️⃣ Arrest

  3️⃣ Trial
• Simulated killing is universally considered a grave moral wrong.

  False
• Simulated killing is useful for military and law enforcement training.

  True
• Order the arguments against simulated killing from most to least severe:

  1️⃣ Desensitization to real violence

  2️⃣ Potential for aggressive behavior

  3️⃣ Moral responsibility in virtual killing
• Match the arguments for and against simulated killing:

  Useful for military training ↔️ Desensitization to real violence

  Allows exploration of violent themes ↔️ Potential for psychological harm

  Helps release stress ↔️ Moral responsibility in virtual killing
• Simulated killing allows for exploration of violent themes in entertainment, fostering creativity
• Simulated killing may reduce sensitivity to real-world violence, leading to desensitization

  Normalize violence
• Match the concept with its description:

  Simulated Killing ↔️ Virtual act with no real consequences

  Real-World Killing ↔️ Actual taking of a human life
• In survival horror games, players often kill virtual monsters or zombies
• Simulated killing allows for the exploration of violent situations in a safe, consequence-free environment.

  True
