another thing we have been disscussing is the impact of media violence on children. i personaly dont believe that media violence is in any way to blame for an action commited by anyone. i feel that too many people are using the media outlet as a scape goat. just because a child hears a song or sees something on t.v. doesnt mean they are going to commit a crime because of it. if in fact a child does commit a crime (as many do) statistics show the majority of the perpetraitors have behavior problems and or mental dysfunctions. also alot of behavior problems in children can be associated with problems in their familys home life. yet parents dont seem to take responsibilty for their parenting skills or lack of. they are quick to blame music and movies insted of facing the fact that they should have been more personaly involved in their childrens lives. and if they were they should have seen the early signs and worked on the issues before they became a real problem.
