 Article 1
"Violent video game: the effects on youth, and public policy implications" by Douglass Gentile and Craig Anderson is about the evolution of video games and its rank of violence. Violence sales! The article pointed this factor out when it discussed the well know violent video game Mortal Kambat. As the years go by the video games start to get more and more gruesome and crime starts to climb. Many tests and reaserches were taken to prove that watching at least 2 hours of violence could have an negative effect on a person. The article then proves another interesting fact that video games didn't only make people more violent, it also helped people. Not all video games are violent some are educational and even physical and had a great impact on people when They play the games. In my option the government can do what they want and put regulations on what they must but as long as their are rules and regulations, people will still do what they want to do. It may be harder but it is still possible


Article 2
  Soclial media is effecting our children! Says Andrew O'Hehir in the article " Weinstein, Tarantino and Staff Over a Movie Violence" published February 1, 2014 by Salon media group. In this article O'Hehir talks about violent films, video games, and social media sites and how he think it effects children when they see this on a day to day basis. From my understanding is a film maker Weinstein is is guilty of making films with violence and inappropate language. Media violence is a phenomenon the article uses hamburgers As an example. Yes although hamburgers are delicious they are not always good for you. It is more interesting to see blood and see people getting hurt in a movie but after a while A person stars to adapt to what he/she sees and hears. O'Hehir then goes to speak about cell phones, tvs, movies, and social media accounts where most people see the violence. Ending the article he recognizes Weinsteins accomplishement of making a few violent movies over the years but bring positive and productive and becoming an inspirational speaker.


Article 3
  In the article "Whose Fault is it" by Marilyn Manson issued by the Rolling stones magazine published June 24, 1999   discusses violence and questions where violence comes from. Manson brings up a great point when he says that the "first few people on earth didn't need books, movies, games, or music to inspire cold-blooded murder."  Manson then goes on to talk about how Americans today publicize death, murders, and violence because that's what the news crews do their stories on. the discussion then moved on to discuss war; we as Americans don't see war as a bad issue. yes we know people usually die and cities are destroyed but because its to defend our country is then okay to kill another. Murder anyway it is claimed to be is wrong. Many people as myself believe that  no one is born to kill or to be evil, people do what they see and repeat. people learn these disturbing actions by watching another person that has done it first. Manson then closes with "don't expect the end of the world to come one day out of the blue- its been happening everyday for a long time.
