Summary of: Weinstein, Tarantino and the standoff over movie violence

This article talks about how Harvey Weinstein "vowed to back away from ultraviolent movies". It talks about how since violence has become more prominent in media, mass shooting such as sandy hook have been more frequent. Although its hard to prove that violence in media contributes to violence in the real world, many people believe it does. The author also uses an anaology that would speak to many americans. He says that "most of us feel about media violence roughly the way we feel about hamburgers or whiskey: Moderate doses probably aren’t harmful, and may even have salubrious effects. But too much is too much, and it’s hard to tell where that dividing line lies." This article shows that although we arent 100% sure that violence in the media and violence in the real world are linked, its something that we need to pay a lot more attention to.
