Article Summary and Review

Article #1
The main idea of the article was to show scientific evidence on the effects of violent video games on the youth. Throughout the article different experimental studies were discussed and what each study showed about violent video games.
I feel like I didn't personally learned any new information. The articles was quite tedious and almost redundant. All of the information that was giving from the studies were never concluded so it would almost be hard to present these studies in a court room.

Article #2
The main ideas in this article was the statement made by Harvey Weisntein that there is too much violence in Hollywood and it is time to put an end to it. Also, that the amount of violence in America can’t really be blame on Hollywood or it can also be blamed on guns. But we can measure or make a clear statement of what causes violence or the more important question that the author presents is the want of violence. The author presents evidence of how Weinstein is involved in violence driving movies with Tarantino and the irony of his statement. The author also presents statistics of crime rates and gun ownership throughout the past few years.
I agree with the writer on the topic but I also feel that nothing will be done. Like it said in the article, that Hollywood has realized that they make money off of violence so even if Weisntein came out and said that it needs to stop, I doubt anyone is going to stop doing something if they make a profit from it.

Article #3
 The main idea of the article is that as a society we look for someone to blame. When chaos is set off, we look around to see who was responsible for it. Another main idea, was the bible. That violence has been around forever and that Cain did not need the help of media to create the violence that he committed against his brother Abraham but his own will was what drove him. The evidence that the author brings out to support his idea is that for the shooting in Colorado, people try to look at how the two boys who committed the crime where dressed and try to blame him for the shooting. Another piece of evidence, was the shooting of Dr. Gunn and how a “pro-life” member shot him.
Out of the three articles, I agree with this one the most. I think the point that writer is making is that we live in a society where we are constantly looking for somebody to blame if something does not go to our liking and that's why the media looks to see who they can blame. Also, the media takes this information to their advantage and often exaggerate facts or twist them.
