Blog #6 Violence in the Media

Example 1: Video games effect the daily life of children. In these video games children get awarded for killing people in the games. Awards can range from getting put into the next level, earning money or even gaining another life. By getting these awards in video games, children may grow up to think that they will also get these rewards in real life by going around killing people, (Imitation of Media Violence).

Example 2: Movies effect the daily life of the people who watch them. Even though movies are rated R or PG13, children still see these movies. Grown ups too can see these movies and get their own ideas in their head. When they get these ideas in their head they act them out just as that person in the movie did, (Imitation of Media Violence).

Example 3: TV news reports effect the daily life of anyone who watches them. They effect people by making them afraid of violence. People may hear of someone getting killed in or around their neighborhood and be afraid that they too will go through the same thing that person went through, (Afraid of becoming a victim).
