I think that the media displays violence in movies and shows for younger kids and teens to get their attention and causes them to do violent things in their life that shouldn’t be allowed. When kids watch movies or shows that pertain to violence, they start to develop ideas in their minds that what they see is okay to mimic in their own life. Violence influences behavior and attitudes that causes kids to act the way they do. Violence can also increase aggressive behavior or increase tolerance and acceptance of violent and abusive behavior. The average pre-teen child has witnessed tens of thousands of acts of violence in the media. The violent actions taken place in the media are mostly seen in video games because they are more damaging when the player is actively seeking to kill or wound other players. Most violent video games have players that act as killer, which is the sole purpose of the game. Media plays a big role in everything in the world.
