Article
1
This article was about how
violence (whether in video games or in movies and tv shows) has an effect on
children. Starting out this violence can be the reasoning for early signs of
aggression in many young americans. The beginning of the article presents shows
how the violence in video games got started and how it slowed evolved to what
it is today. The last half of the article talks about and presents evidence on
how the violence in video games can cause anger within the individuals playing
the game. Reading this article didn’t change my view on video games. I have
played many video games myself, and many shooting games at that. After playing
these games I have no urge to take out my rifle and start shooting people or
harming anyone. I do believe video games do set something off for certain
individuals, but I do not believe that video games are the sole reasoning for
people having a lot of aggression.
Article 2
This article was about how Weinstein, a movie producer told
the world how he was done producing violent movies. He claimed that if he were
a parent, he wouldn’t want to pick out a single violent movie for his children
to watch. He also presents his thought on how violent films can cause something
to be set off in individuals to create anger in which they wish to inflict upon
another individual(s). I honestly couldn’t believe that someone who has created
a career off producing violent films has come to realize that what he has been
doing has a negative effect on a very low percentage of people, but he was
willing to stop that to help prevent that low percentage of people from ever existing.
I have watched countless violent movies throughout my life, and I will admit
that after I watch a racing movie, I want to go drive extremely fast, but never
have I wanted to go kill someone after watching a violent movie. Maybe Neal H.
Mortiz should not release the seventh Fast
and Furious movie to prevent people from speeding.
Article 3
This article is all based on Marilyn Manson and his view on
how the violence in the media is effecting the youth’s behavior in today’s
society. The media has been known for stretching the truth a tad and adding
useless details that just make the perpetrator seem worse than they actually
are. Marilyn speaks of the school shooting where the suspects were dressed in
all black and wearing makeup such as he does. I don’t believe that Marilyn was all
to blame but he had to have played a role in what happened that day. Many
adults love Batman, but not once have I ever heard of a school shooting where
the suspect was dressed as Batman just out of love for the character who fights
criminals and saves lives. Marilyn’s music and character had to have had a
negative impact on the kids who did the shooting. I do agree with him that the
world is changing for the worse, but I certainly don’t believe that his
lifestyle didn’t have an effect on what the kids did that day. I have never
seen a case where a woman dresses as Carry Underwood and goes and blows up a
building full of innocent civilians.
