Primary Cause Of Violence In America

(B) I really do not believe that media is a cause of violence in either community. I believe it is just the individual and the environment that they are in. It is common knowledge that the violence rates are always higher in cities than in the rural communities because of the population and poverty, not the media. If an individual goes out and commit a violent crime in either setting because of what they have seen on television,

Those in movies and television shows are more likely to encounter violence than what people are in real life. Violence on television and exaggerated ideas of actual crime have been connected, as have the role of crime enforcement in these acts of violence. As a result of this fear of violence due to television exposure, the term “mean world syndrome” was coined. The consumption of violence through television has caused a fear of others, and constant on-edge feeling for many viewers. Long-term exposure has causes an image of mean and dangerous people outnumbering altruistic, harmless, and nonviolent (Bryant & Zillmann, 2002).

In the past few years, security and safety has been a national concern for many of us. In recent years, there has been an increase in car shootings. Drive-by shooting originated when assailants would ride up to their targets on horseback, shoot them with there pistols and then ride off before they could be apprehended. But in modern time, it 's much more deadly and frequent. People suggest that gun violence is rising because of gang violence and copycat shooter. The government put effort on controlling gun violence but that not enough. Mass shooting has triple since 2011, making drive by shooting more frequent with copycat shooter.

In his essay, “A Pedagogical Response to The Aurora Shootings” (235) Henry Jenkins analyzes shocking events involving public shootings in society. His main objective is to discuss why violence is a prominent factor in our popular culture and how the media inflames the issue. Jenkins does pose his belief that violence should be critically debated in order to research the main cause of violence within people. He also states that people must step out of the “media effects” assumption of violence and expands the scale to the meaning of what violence represents in movies and books. Jenkin states, “To be extra clear, I do not think media is where this debate should be focused” (236). He proposes that violence in movies plays an important role in

Secondly, the massive gun related violence in the USA has caused many concerns about social stability and security. The recent gun violence in the US has also caused tense social relationship between African Americans and white people.O’Brien et al (2013) found that the increasing number of gun related violence in certain areas have caused fear towards black people such as African Americans. The racism driven type of gun violence is common in some areas. Also, gun violence is also argued to have connection with increasing unemployment rate in inner cities. Because people do not have regular source of income, they decide to take the risks to go to the streets with their guns. The current gun law needs to be changed in the following aspects.

Recent research has shown that exposure to media violence vastly impact society & causes both children & adults to behave in a much more violent manner, disturbing them in years to come. Levels of violence are increased as children/young people grow up & become adults.

In our society, particularly in the United States, violence has become something we witness on a daily basis. From gun violence to domestic abuse, we are exposed to it all. It has become so ingrained in our daily lives that we are becoming desensitized to the issue. This ongoing problem can be routed to the amount of violence that we, as Americans, are exposed to in movies. The MPAA is an organization that is supposed to censor excessive amounts of violence, nudity, and language in films released in the United States. However, this organization has continued to expose movie viewers of all ages to extreme amounts of violence. According to the MPAA’s ratings, violence is more acceptable to expose an audience to than nudity and strong language.

Residents of the United States can, and do state that more gun control and assault rifle laws would reduce gun deaths. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator from Connecticut, asserted "This happens nowhere else, other than the United States of America. It only happens here, not because of coincidence, not because of bad luck, but as a consequence of our inaction. We are responsible for a level of mass atrocity that happens in this country with zero parallel anywhere else” (Lopez). Citizens can conclude, through research and data, more gun control would lead to fewer suicides. The opposing side would promote that if one is trying to kill themselves, they will find a way, whether they kill themselves with a gun or with a knife. In 2015,

Looking at the nightly news, many would believe violent crimes are at an all-time high. There are not just one on one violent crimes or gang violent crimes. There is court shootings, school shootings, church shootings, theater shootings, mall shootings, workplace shootings, and others. Where most one on one crime is committed with illegal guns, mass shootings are done with handguns purchased legally. Violent crimes reported on the news while still surprising to hear and see has become very common. While the numbers seem to be overwhelming, statistics share violent crimes are at an all-time low. While the numbers of crimes are decreasing, gun ownership is increasing. Begging one to ask if the right to conceal to carry reduce

In one group, the adults would ignore the “Bobo doll” and play non aggressively with the other toys. In the other group, the adult would play aggressively with the “Bobo doll,” beating it with their hands and a hammer. After this, the children would go and play in the room. In the first group, all the children played with the toys non-aggressively, ignoring the doll. But in the other group, the children played with the doll rather aggressively, similar to the way they had just witnessed the model play with it. (Ciccarelli, 2015) This study proves that watching violence leads to violence from the

Backrounds behind the people that were surveyed showed that boys were more common to play the violent games to try and be more mature, so there would be feelings of trying to be a man and that includes being violent in a way. Say they were always treated violently then they would most likely become like that in anger or if they beleived that was the right way to raise someone. Another thing is the people you stay around can influence you. Friends can definitly influence how you feel about everything around

Aggressive behaviour in children is a concern for parents, school administrators, and teachers. Aggression in children based on logical reaction due to exposure to violent media content on television or from particular video games. Also, it can be due to exposure to violence at home due to aggressive parenting styles. The research will cover the reasons for aggressive behaviour in the classroom, the impact of bullying in the classroom, the benefit of introducing art therapy to a kindergarten class.( (Mitrofan et al., 2014)

The first reason that goes along to prove the fact that media violence does cause real world violence is the fact that there is no scientific evidence that shows violent media will ever have a positive effect on young kids, but there is plenty of evidence that proves it has a negative effect on children. Another reason is that some children are more prone to aggressive behavior than others. Finally, children may become “numb” to

Violent media is one of the major problem .in the world today especially to the parents and teacher. It has increase worried that violent media exposure may have a development effect on children. For example, parents have a fear that children expose to violent media will usually grow up to be violent themselves. However in this case Gerard Jones argue that “violent media is good for kids”, he believes that exposure to violent media will build strong courage and have a good effect in society. Violent tend to have an effect on children ability to know what real and what not because they see violent in video game or see and actor and actress do it. They think it okay to act it out since the actor are doing it as

Violence is a negative effect on media and society because of the learning effect, the desensitized effect, and the fear effect. For example, the violence on television and video games can teach people the actions of the fictional characters in the show or game, and in turn, learn violent behaviors. “Viewers learn the aggressive attitudes and behaviors depicted in the programs they see”(Wartella 3). Considering the fear effect, the next effect violence can create is the desensitization effect. Violence is a negative effect on society and media because violence can cause real emotion, and change the attitudes of many civilians when put in a serious situation where people need help.“Prolonged viewing of media violence can lead to emotional desensitization toward real violence and real victims which may result in callous attitudes and a decreased likelihood that desensitized individuals will take action to help victims when real violence occurs”(Wartella 3). To compare, violence is a bad side of media and social networking because it creates the fear effect. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous. Violence on TV and video games promote the violent behavior and can lead to the fear effect. “Viewing violence may increase your fear of being victimized, leading toward self-protective behavior and an increased mistrust of others”
