Violence

The topic we talked about in class was very interesting and many of the students all had something to say about it. We all had something to say about it because it all struck us every time somebody said something else about it either we were or weren't for violence on TV or video games.
What I personally think is that violence is always going to be on the TV or part of the video games and we can't really do anything about it. Like some said, we can't just X out violence and not have it on TV because it has always been a part of life I guess. If the people are worried about violence and their children, than its all up to the parents to set some standards for their children.
Many children today are exposed to violence, even cartoons have some violence and for some children it won't effect them but for some it will. That's where the parent's come into play. To help their children understand that violence is wrong and they should never copy the TV or the video games they play. Also, let them know or understand that the TV and the video games are just fake and not real.
Violence also has both a positive and a negative affect. It can affect positively because what if some were to be in a situation of violence and because of watching the violence on TV they know how to approach it. It has a negative affect because some may imitate the violence they see and act it out at school. They may put another student in danger. All in all, violence is both good and bad.
