Media: Incites Violence

Abstract: 6 pages in length. To implicate mass media as being an influential force over the prevalence of violence in today's society is to recognize the intrinsic impact such avenues as television, radio and magazines have upon an impressionable global community. Indeed, various forms of media regularly infuse the not-so-subtle factors associated with gratuitous violence to such an extent that viewers are no longer shocked by the bludgeoning death or decapitation of a fellow human being. Instead, this desensitization has served to encourage the public to engage in that much more violent aspects of contemporary media, not the least of which includes the overt violent depiction found in video games. In a society where violence takes center stage where media sources are concerned, one might readily surmise how children stand to be the greatest casualty. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
