Media Violence

I don't believe that television programs or video games have a big effect on what led people to become hardcore criminals. I think it all depends on what types of neighborhoods people grew up in, and the kinds of parents they've had during their early lives. For example, some parents make their children follow their route, and abuse society's rules in a way that is not acceptable. So, nobody ever knows what kind of desires those children will have when they grow up, and they might do something very dangerous that reflects back on their parents. The problem with video games is that there is no actual evidence that shows how it makes kids become violent, because there are a lot of things that can set them off, and it doesn't specifically have to be video games because they've played it. I've played video games that involve wars, and shooting other people. The thought of bringing a gun to school and shooting everybody has never crossed my mind, because I'm not a criminal who kills people for fun, and besides I don't live in a neighborhood with guns available on the streets where people will just hand it to you. But, if people want to talk about the real criminals, then they should look into their history, and they can find out for themselves that criminals are not video games characters! Most of them grew up in neighborhoods where killing was the only way to survive, and others have major sickness, like the Anti-Social Personality Disorder. I don't have the research to say what's true and not, but I can be sure that only a minor percentage of the population could become violent because of video games, or television shows like "Tom and Jerry," which they watched when they were kids. I don't even remember what I've watched on television when I was young, and I feel as if everything I did when I was eight or younger is completely washed out of my brain.
