Media Violence

To me media violence is use to appeal to the consumer. A lot of people in this world are attracted to the idea of violence. In today’s society the rate of violence in America is on the rise and is becoming more of trend then something to fear. Teenage boys are the main target of interest when making violent video games or movies. Now, I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with violent video games or movies, at times when the moment is right they can be entertaining. But sometimes these video games or movies can fall into the wrong hands such as a little kid, who either doesn’t know the difference between real of fiction or wants to be just like that particular character. We all know someone younger who likes to dress up like a certain superhero or rich girl that they saw on some random show because they thought they were cool. Heck! A lot of adults and teens do that now by coping off some celebrity they saw as well, but staying on topic, imagine a little boy or girl came up to you and said “I want to rob a bank just like that man in that game or “I want a gun”. Media violence is not only seen by mature people but immature people as well. In order to stop this kind of behavior, we have to stand together as a community and say, NO TO VIOLENCE.
