2. Supporting Status Quo: Experiencing media violence encourages unstable people to become violent and contributes to the increase in violent behavior. Against the Status Quo: Experiencing media violence does encourage a few unstable people to become violent but it doesn’t contribute to violent behavior as a whole society.

3.  Every show has violence  No real family shows  TV’s ‘’family hour’’ is no more

4.  Children and teen shootings have increased  Violent games lead to violent actions  Most ‘’mature’’ games that people play are much more violent than first thought

5. Necessary Action:  Parents have to monitor what their kids watch and play  Bans on the selling of mature games to minors have to be enforced  Limits have to be set for violence on TV shows

6.  Censorship goes against the first amendment since limitations on media go against freedom of speech  Parents have to choose what is acceptable for their kids

7.  Video game violence is unreal  The supreme court shouldn’t be able to decide what kids can watch  Parents have to teach their kids the right and wrong way to act

8.  There is no direct connection between violent shows to behavior  Violence is a natural human behavior

9.  Media violence encourages violent behavior in kids and teens.  Media violence has no correlation to violent behavior in teens and kids. I believe media has very little effect on the violence among kids and teens. I think it falls upon the parents, they have to teach their kids how to act, and set good examples by not using violence themselves.
