Violent TV shows, movies, and video games give people ideas of what to do. Then when they get mad,
they repeat what they saw on TV. |

I happen to think this is like the whole "which came first, the chicken or the egg" thing.
It would be silly to deny that people (all ages) are desensitized to violence the more they're
subjected to it. Does that cause violent acts? I have to lean towards no, it does not. In the
end, a person is going to act/react to their environment. If a mind is unstable enough to commit
violent acts, the media violence doesn't help, but isn't the cause.
What I think is interesting to consider is that perhaps people are not a product of these products,
but perhaps these products are a product of people. The garbage spewed by the media (TV, movies,
video games, music, etc...) is obviously a product of an already violent or perversely sexual
mind.
I think the issue of influence of products on people is less concerning than peoples' influence on
products. |

I agree that they may not be sole responsible, but they do play a huge part in the violent act. Kids
today grow up watching violence. They see it as acceptable and their parents are too lazy to teach
them otherwise. There are even parents who breed their kids to be violence. Kids believe that things
they see on TV are cool, so they are more likely to act it out. I believe that TV and video games
are not the sole cause, but they do play a huge role in the violence overall. |

No.
People are not blank-slates to be written upon.
All is a matter of the will, and choices.
I disagree. |
