The Standoff Over Movie Violence-      Henry Weinstein has always supported Quentin Tarantino's career and the violent movies he makes and began asking himself if he made violence look cool. Before Weinstein spoke out about the issue of violence he took his time to think about it and talk to other studio heads and directors about the topic who agree. He spoke out about an issue that up until that moment very got talked about in the media. It i a lot bigger of an issue not because the media produces more and more of the violence.  

Columbine: Who's fault is it?-       The first time people were killed they did not need books, movies, games, or music to kill, just the reason that they wanted to. When putting killers on the front of magazines you are giving them as much notice as famous people in movies and such. They glorify the crimes committed and making children getting picked on look up to them. The act of killing and crime in the world has not gotten more violent over the years it has just been more shown to the public and made in a more glorious way. The people responsible for the high school murders are everyone that are the ones that sit here and let children have guns and watch all the crimes going on around the world and in our own country. When Harris and Klebold did the crime in Colorado they were dressed similar to Marilyn Manson so the media started saying that he was the influence the boys had for doing what they did. If a person is old enough to drive a car or own a gun then that person is old enough to be held responsible for their own actions and not blame everyone else. The media continues to blame everyone except the people actually responsible for it.
