Whether violence in society or violence in media came first is like the debate about whether the chicken or the egg came first. In my mind I think that violence in society came first. Violence is in human nature. There’s not one person in this world that doesn’t get or feel violent at some point in their life. Although I do think that since movies and television have been showing more and more it’s caused a few issues. It’s very possible that if some movies weren’t shown then there wouldn’t be as violent as people. But then again you could take me as an example. I hate scary movies and don’t care much for violent television but I’m very high tempered. I think that the most important thing in having a nonviolent society is to have role models that are not violent. I think that I have picked up many of my fathers bad habits such as my temper and television didn’t really have much to do with it.
