I have a long-standing opposition to violence in any media that kids and youth are consuming. I was also never convinced by the “I watched violent movies and I turned out OK” argument that some people tried to convince me with. 🙂 I’m glad to see that more concrete evidence is coming out that confirms that violence in media for kids and youth is a clear problem and steps need to be taken to adjust what is being viewed. Although this study is looking at kids and youth, I would suggest that the same applies to violence being used for entertainment for adults, as well. Do we really need to be more desensitized to violence? Shouldn’t we be working towards peace and justice instead?
