Assignment 1

Article 1
        The parents who try to protect their children from violence do very little to keep their children from violent video games and violence in the media. The first violent video was named Pong and was released in 1972. Which made game creators think about what the market would be able to bear including violent content. Before a video game is released it has to be tested and researched before being released to the public. The people who test the video games try to figure out how the violence will effect the person who buys them and plays them.
        When reading this it makes me think of a show I watched and it was called Law and Order Special Victims Unit. In this show there was these kids playing a violent video game, while playing this game the kids deicide that they were going to play this game in real life. They ran over a lady with their car got out and stomped on her and then stole her money. Even though my brother plays violent video games, he is not violent person because of the way he was raised. I think it depends on how you are raised if you become violent while playing violent video games.


Article 2
          Weinstein is move producer is trying to stop ultraviolent movies. He feels like there is no reason for the movie industry to make overly violent movies. Weinstein has made extremely violent movies and he is now questioning himself because he is wondering if he was the one who made extreme violence hip. Weinstein broke the silence on the issue of extreme violence in movies.
           I think it was really cool of him to stand up for what he believes in even though that might stop his money coming in. Even though I like movies with fast cars, guns, and fighting. I do not like overly violent movies. When young people watch overly violent movies they feel like it is cool and something they could do. I know this because will I was little and watch movies like that, I thought it was cool and something I could do.


Article 3
          There were cavemen who killed each other and they didn't have violent movies or video games, and they still killed one another. By putting criminals in the newspaper and telling everyone what they did and how they did it. Shows everyone who has ever been bullied a new person to look up to because they took their problems in their own hands. if violence wasn't televised or in movies most people wouldn't even know it excised. parents can only protect the violence they can control they can not protect there kids from violence in the world that is always on the news. when something terrible happens in the world everyone turns on the TV to see what happened and how people are feeling about it.
         I fully agree with this article, because if there wasn't people always talking about violence some people wouldn't even know about it. Even though the cavemen killed each other, they lived in a different time because they had to use violence to get their food and to protect their self. But now a days we do not live in that time, we don't have to kill our own food or kill to protect ourselves.
