Gun Violence (Assignment 1)

[PawnTeacher]

My teachings will be humerous and sometimes real assignments.


First assignment:


"The average twelve year old has seen more than seven thousand murders on television."

Take a position on violence on TV. Does it harm kids or not?

[Hurrikhayne11]

Depends on how easily influenced the particular kid is.

[FusiouS]

Yes because then they will think it's ok
and they will think to get on tv they must kill someone and it makes them violent or really paranoid.

[Hurrikhayne11]

Yes because then they will think it's ok
I watched a lot of shows with murders and killings and sorts like that when I was even younger than 12.
Did I think it was ok? No, because I wasn't raised like that.
So it probably depends on the parents, also.

lol lets see hurri you have the shortest attention span and have anger management hmm I wonder what that was from :rolleyes:

And if you had good parents they wouldn't let their lil kid watch that stuff.

[EaEaEa]

Kids need violence.

If they don't see gore, we would be breeding a generation of whimps.

and how would we send them to war to die for us in pointless wars?

[Hamzter]

and how would we send them to war to die for us in pointless wars?

with the power of love! *music*

[PawnTeacher]

Good points. I said the same thing, kids need to witness this stuff so they know what happens in reality. Only mental kids will go farther than it really should go.

[Kahuna]

I think because them hanging out with teenagers, And being a easy influence. Kids are wimjps if they dont see some blood!

I don't have a short attention span, but yes, a little anger problem, who really cares.
My parents are great, your troll *** has no reason to say anything about them, gtfo. Like Ea said, the kids need the violence so they don't be whimps, but also, they need it to know what is wrong and also what is right.

Agh.

[EaEaEa]

but also, they need it to know what is wrong and also what is right.

Agh.

When I hear that some teen died in a drunk car crash, I don't feel bad, if you are that stupid and irresponsible then this world is better off without you.

[IrishDragon1234]

It depends on the scenario of the death.

If kids are watching shows and playing video games where people are killed in gang wars and over money, and its all shown from a street criminal's point of view, then that's gonna be bad for them.

But if they are watching shows and playing video games where people are killed in wars and in police operations, and its all shown from an American soldier's or a cop's point of view, its not going to do bad things to their mental health.

Its all about what perspective the kids are seeing the death from.

[X5Marksman]

Although you would have to already be mentally unstable or insane to imitate everything you see, There are things that can mentally scar some children or desensitize them to violence.

[Soul]

Yes I think it should stay. It's not the TV's fault if the kid is crazy.

[niceguyeddie]

Let's just allow ourselves to think that parents still contribute *JUST A LITTLE ITTY BITTY BIT* to their children's well being before we blame TV, Music, and/or Video Games for their social misconduct.

[OmegaLemming]

It depends on how the parents raise their child. I was allowed to play games like GTA and Carmeggedon when I was young, but I didn't take it seriously. I think it depends on how the child was raised, AND how the child interprets what it is exposed to.
