Q: Reflect on what we've discussed in class and what you've heard in the video and in the reading about violence in our media, particularly as it relates to masculinity. Is the relationship between violence & masculinity something to be concerned about?
A: I think that some male children (mainly teens) believe being violent or being a bully to peers makes them look tough. I do also think that violence in media influences them as well, along with peer pressure. I think the media is getting worse and worse when it comes down to how much violence is shown and how detailed it is. I think video games are the worst because not only is the player seeing the violence occur, but they are taking part in it in away. If children see that on t.v. or in a video game they think that it's okay everywhere else.
