Hollywood and innocence





Medved, M. (1999, June 16). Hollywood Murdered Innocence. Wall Street Journal - Eastern Edition. p. A26.


According to Medved, social media influences all of us, one way or another. He argues that ultimately all media modes exert more influence towards violent and reckless behavior as glamourous, desirable and inevitable doings. Hundreds of studies demonstrate a correlation between vicious media imagery and brutal behavior. However, many skeptics argue that this mostly reflects on the child taste of violence rather than the influence of violent entertainment. Whether we’d like to admit our weakness towards distracting influences, in the end, not much is being done to lower the amount of excess violence being shown. Overall, don’t hold your breath for any industry adjustments any time soon. To protect are kids from this brutal pop cultural fiasco we must all strengthen our personal determination for this difficult task at hand.
