Violence In The Media

Example 1: There is a lot of violence in the media now and days. You have video games in which display a high rate of violence depending on the game. Like the shooting games and fighting games present violence and then the children react what they seen into the real world. Even sport games now are becoming dangerous such as hockey games have the players fighting and football games are showing people tackling each other. Then once children get that violence stored in their head, they go out and they do what they saw to their friends and it ends up being a a big fight. 
Example 2: Television media definitely is a huge contribution to violence in the world now. They have many shows on television that are sending out a bad message to children and adults. There are wrestling shows that come on and mainly boys watch it. So that's when they go out and repeat what they saw, or use it against others to defend themselves. Also there is a lot of violence in the world and the news displays it on television. 
Example 3: Movies altogether (drama, action, horror, etc.) have many affects. The media has movies that show murders and killers killing people and some people who watch that, may think it's okay to go out in bring the violence in reality. It is understood that movies have ratings for certain age groups but depending on the parents, is whether or not that person can watch a killer movie that may be rated R. The ratings are there to prevent children from watching some movies that may traumatize them or cause them to go out and do something harmful in the real world.
