6. I personally think that violence in the media effects everyone in a different type of way. I do think that I was a little effected by the violence in the media. I say this because when I was a child I use to do the things that I saw on Wrestling, to other people. Eventually one day I hurt someone by doing a move that I saw on wrestling, but my mom sat me down and told me that wrestling was fake and not to imitate anything that I see on the show or I’ll grow up to be a short person. As a child the only thing I wanted to be was tall, I really don’t know why, but short people creped me out as a child. So every since then I never even watched wrestling. Violence in the media will never go away. There’s always going to be a new violent movie and tv show. I think the only thing to do is to talk to your children and let them know the difference between rite and wrong in the media. My Opinion
