Chapter 13 was particularly interesting to me. I mean I heard most of all of it before but I have never actually read about it. A lot of people think that media, namely television and movies, have a huge influence on our own day to day behavior. Partially I believe this too but only partially. It is sort of nature vs. nurture where the media is nurture. You grow up watching violence or any other negative and or positive behavior and the chances of you copying that behavior become greater and greater. So if a child grows up watching shows and movies with a very heavy amount of violence in it than yes the possibility of that child also being a bit violent is very much likely. I’m not sure about violence, and consumption, at such an extreme scale such as shootings and addiction can be blamed solely on media but you never know. It was cool reading about the different theories that are out there and the breakdown of each but, as much things are, it was much like taking something you already know and breaking it down to its simplest form, which is not so much a bad thing but just a thing that I noticed. Now on to chapter 14. I did not want to read this chapter at all. It looked long boring and history which is a triple combo I’m not so excited about experiencing. The chapter was interesting where it could be but overall I could have done without the read.
