RE: Kaleidoscopes, Games, Sensationalism and the Age of Violence
I fully agree with you, our western society has indeed become more accepting of
all kinds of violence.
The question is, is the media violence a reflection of real life violence or is the the other way around. My guess it is both, however like you I believe that the glorification of violence in the entertainment and use media does have a great influence on our collective psyche and certainly not for the better.
@evehuman, I am not convinced people are inherently violent, but I do believe some react violently to situations they don't like... and the glorification of violence in entertainment "normalizes" such a response to where violent acting out happens with less restraint than it used to.
this sounds reasonable
