Media Violence

Media violence affects different people in different ways. The study of media violence has made me realize just how it can affect someone. For example, a young child could watch their favorite cartoon character get bonked in the head and come out just fine. This could cause them to think it is real, and imitate it at school, or with their friends. Violence in music can also influence people. Listening to violent lyrics has been proven to give you aggressive or violent thoughts. Violence in video games is so common, many don’t notice. Playing violent video games, and these could also cause increased aggression or violent thoughts. Those are only a few ways media violence can affect you.
