This article mainly focouses on how Hollywood impacts young teens and their sexual behavior. It is about two colleagues that try to survey different schools and a diverse group of 72 students and asked them questions. First they asked them about every medium that they come into contact with telivision movies and radio. Then they ask them about their views on sex and marriage.
I chose this artical because it explains how hollywood is responsible for the irresponsible behavior of young teenagers. This article explains the different view points of teenagers and parents and what their opinions are of sex and marriage.
I have heard your point of view on the subject and although i respect your opinion and see where your coming i disagree. There has been research that certain chemicals in the brain do increase when an individual plays violent video games or is exposed to violent television. What the researches fail to mention is that the same chemicals increase while running, driving, or riding a rollercoaster. Psychology researches have shown that playing violent video games is actually helpful, it helps release anagers that a person has bottled up inside. For instance if you are not a violent person but some one makes you extremely angry, instead of hitting him or her if you kill someone in a video game it will relive your anger, almost in the same way that sports help do this. There is no real proof that violent media will create a psycho killer. Some criminal psychology studies beleive that there is a psycho gene or chromosome that is inbedded in the fetus's brain before he is born, so that when he is born, a psycho killer will be born. Most psycho killers show signs of agaressiveness and psycho mentality a very young age without being exposed to violent video games. One example is when kids enjoy torturing small animals. There is also no real evidence that music with sexual contact will create a rapist. For these reasons i disagree with your stance. Good luck with your research.
