The implications of violence and the media!






Length: 7:03 
Description:  How the Media glorifies and encourages violent behavior particularly in young men, often times with very negative outcomes.  Desensitizing people to violence!
Chapter 2: Media Impact, Chapter 6: Movies and Chapter 9: Television.
Quiz Question: What were the major findings concerning television violence?
Answer:
Not every child who watches a lot of violence or plays a lot of violent games will grow up to be violent.  Other forces must converge, as they did recently in (school shootings in) Colorado.  But just as every cigarette increases the chance that some day you will get lung cancer, every exposure to violence increases the chances that some day a child will behave more violently than they otherwise would.
