Article 1

In the first article I read, I do believe violence games does activate high levels of testosterone. There was an experiment that some children become aggressive towards other children while they were playing games. I seen people get aggravated with a video game. In my opinion, if anti-violence video gamers try to take away violence games; the game companies will lose a lot of customers and business. Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty and etc are popular violence video games. This is how companies make their money. People play it because its very entertaining. It gives people excitement. When people see a preview of the newest game coming out, it gives people the thrill. Last semester, I worked at a video game store called GameStop. I seen a lot of young children who are among their parents trying to buy Mature rated games. It would be impossible to take away Mature rated games. On Black Friday, the store was filled with a lot of people. That day was crowded. There are many people out in the world who loves violent video games. Honestly, I don't think parents should shelter their children from violence games because it'll just make children want to play it more in my opinion. If the children wants to play violence games and it does affect them let them. Its their choice.

Article 2

Who is Harvey Weinstein? I never heard of him before til yesterday. Good for Harvey Weinstein, who is trying to change the world by not making violence movies. He is making a big change to stop producing bias movies. Change is good but trying to change the world's opinion would be impossible. I think many people would disagree with Harvey Weinstein.  I think it would be hard for Hollywood to not make any violence movies because America has been making violence for a very long time now. That's how Hollywood makes their big bucks. No matter how much people try to prevent violence; violence will find a loop hole. There is violence everywhere and there is always a war going on. I believe there will be no peace in this world. In some countries like Italy, they don't believe in showing violence movies on screen. The country believes watching violence movies is a disgrace.

Article 3

I enjoyed this article very much but this article made me frustrated. Marilyn Manson did an interview with CNN. He talked about how people thought his music was sending a bad message towards society. Manson corrected the fact that he was trying to send a good message to the people. In the land before time or the medieval era, that time didn't have any advanced technology or books but that didn't stop people from killing each other or commit murders. I don't understand why people are blaming their problems onto someone else or something. It doesn't make sense to me. History repeats itself and here is an example of one. When Hitler ruled, his scapegoat was the Jewish people. Look what happen, millions of Jews suffered and died from an awful cause. Jews weren't the problem but Hitler felt that they were a solution to his. I feel like history has this pattern with these type of situations. One minute the world is at peace; the next minute the world is at war. How do you explain that?
