MEDIA IMPACT
A lot of people blame the media for pretty much everything now a days. For example, television shows are getting more graphic and less censored things. In my opinion, I believe it is not the media's fault entirely, but mainly the fault in someones surrounding ( life). Parent's and friends are one reason in why people do what they do. I had typed a the Internet for examples oh how the media was to be blamed for, and I came upon something interesting called Shifting the Blame Society's Solution. This person wrote about how parent's are the ones to blame because there the ones that teach their kids right from wrong. The one thing that caught my attention was when the writer said that in reality there are consequences, but in the media, their isn't any as much. For example, in the movie " Get Rich or Die Tryin'", 50 Cent got away with A LOT. Sure he got shot and went to jail, but he killed many people and still lived life without going to jail. Humans know right from wrong and I believe, to a certain age, that everyone knows what to do and what is wrong. Media shouldn't be the only ones to blame.

Good example. This is what George Gerbner, one of the researchers in Chapter 2 found. In TV/movies, violence solves problems; in real life it only causes more problems.
