The article on Video games gives a vivid description on how video game violence influences real life aggression. Using large groups of data from over 20 years on the effects of video games, Gentile and Anderson cover a range of examples and ideas about the topic of violence, from the history of violence in video games, to studies that have been conducted on the matter.
Marilyn Manson states that his music could not been responsible for the columbine shootings. He is furious with the media for publicizing people responsible for such cases of horror, like the Columbine shooters and is also mad for media trying to place the blame on musicians and movies for the behaviors of these individuals. He even states that the shooters were not actually fans of his music, yet the media still blamed him.
Andrew O'Hehir depicts the relationship between movie violence and real violence. He celebrates Weinstein for standing out. Violence has gone down in this country, as Andrew states, even when violence in media is at its peak. O'Hehir says weary to those jumping to conclusions, because it's hard to know what is causing these people to act out in such hatred.
