Article 1

Protecting your child from violence from media, video games, school or whatever it may be will only work so long. I have seen so many kids be so sheltered through school from their parents once they got out into the real world they were worthless. They had no idea the world was filled with so many influences because they were never exposed to them as a teen. When they are by themselves making there own decisions because mommy and daddy aren't there to make it for them they screw up. I have seen several kids I graduated with that never did shit in high school and now complete alcoholics in college. This all comes back to sheltereing kids at young ages. My parents had moderate supervision as I was growing up. I always did what I wanted within reason. They were always there to make sure i never took anything too far. I thank them all the time now because I am a lot more prepared for real life events than most 19 year olds who still act like children. I know this really doesnt have a lot  to do with the article but the point is still the same. Hovering over your children and monitoring everything they do could potentially have horrible risks.

Article 2

I agree with Harvey Weinstein up to a point. I do agree that violent movies can change the outlook on what is acceptable in reality. I say this because I was the little boy at one time. Going to the movies and seeing guns, shooting, and car crashes is enough to get any little kid excited. When they see these films they want to be like these characters and recreate what they did in the movies. In my opinion this is where good parenting would come into play. Teaching kids wrong from right, whats acceptable and whats not. Movies are low on the totum pole when it comes to creating violence in America. There are so many problems this world needs to figure out, and semi- violent movies are not the one of them as of now.

Article 3
First of all I really enjoyed this article. In my opinion people who are against this article either one needs wake up and get with reality or two need to pull the stick out of their ass and quit acting like they are better than everyone else. Marilyn makes several excellent points throughout his article. 

The one thing that really stuck to me is when he calls ourselves the devil. Most Christians are to ignorant to admit there are major flaws within their religion and I agree with him. Society today is so mixed up in a pile of shit its not even funny. The part that's not funny is how us as Americans do not have the decency to man up and own its mistakes so we involve ourselves in more shit in hopes the old will go away. Fact is problems just don't disappear until we finish what we started! I back this article completely and commend him for speaking the real truth.
