The start of sex, violence and gruesomeness in public media
and its increase
Types of media and its direct effect: video games, TV,
movies, Internet
Types of teen behaviors that result from violence in the
media
Teen behaviors and how it affects the public
Preventions of these behaviors
Sex and violence are mostly related to the public media
through Television, the Internet and video games. All of which are easily
accessibly by children and teens of all ages.
This is paramount in that these children and teens are still in their
growing years of life and are constantly changing their behaviors by mimicking
what they see as normal or even “cool” to be or what society approves of. Heavily
gruesome scenes, sites and images constantly influence them. In my final
project I will start by using my own research from news articles and journals
to first give some back ground on sex and violence in the media and when it
started to drastically increase. Then I will show articles that directly point
research that claims that violence in the media has a direct effect on these
children. I will then explain what kinds of behaviors are considered violent
and inappropriate and what kinds of behaviors were caused by these media
influences. I will probably ask my
expert here a question about teen behavior and ask what sorts of behavior is
most likely to occur as a result. I will then explain how these behaviors can
eventually affect the public on a social level and how it can even take lives
(such as school shootings). I might also ask my expert something about how teen
behavior caused by violence and crime in media affects the public. Lastly, I’ll
be talking about prevention and how the media or these teen behaviors can be
prevented via parents or government or any kind of control.
