The Epidemic Of Violent Media Violence

During the past few years, more and more people have been discussing the topic of violent media to figure out if it triggers violent behavior to some people. Some media critics believe that young people play violent video games and read violent comic books as a safe place for kids to let out their aggression. Gerald Jones wrote a passage arguing that violent comic books and video games are useful for young people. He was taught as a little kid that violence was wrong and that anger was something you had to learn to overcome. While he was young, he was given violent comic books that also had good life lessons in them. Since those comic books Jones has been writing action movies and comic books, and made him into the man he is today. He believes
that children need violence in their life, even if it is in entertainment, so they can explore the feelings of anger and rage that they have. Then on the other side some people think that violent entertainment has inspired young students to commit violent crimes, for example the Newtown, Connecticut shooting in 2012. John Leo wrote a report on how he believes that violent games reflect on kids and their life style. Some parents try to protect their children from dangerous games. Leo did a survey about favorite electronic video games. The result of the survey was 900 fourth through eighth graders said their favorite electronic video game included violence.
