Violence: From the Screen to the People

Media spures anger, hate, and imaginative violence. I feel most or even all blame should be out on the media for creating these violent games, television shows and movies. When people see things like this it distorts the mind into thinking that it is okay. In videogames like Grand Theft Auto IV you can virtually kill almost everyone with little consequence. On top of that the game includes prostitution, heavy usage of drugs and every other imaginable crime. This game greatly taintes the mind of the user making him forget of the real hostileness of those acts. They forget what it in the game and what is out of the game and so the violence begins. Movies like Saw, Hostile, The Strangers, and many other R rated works equally stimulate violence. It portrays violence through horrendous acts, but the viewers react to it differently, sometimes thinking its "sweet" or "cool" and so they lose their sense of good and bad. T.V. shows also have the same effect, depending on their violence level.
