For this assignment I started off watching the hit kids show, Star Wars Rebels. I wanted to watch this show specifically because I enjoy it. Also I was very curious at the results of violence in the show. My data is as follows: There were 5 physical assaults with a weapon or object, 3 without, 3 verbal threats of harm, 4 insults or derogatory remarks, and 5 violent deaths.

I cannot say I was surprised from these results, because in current day society violence is heavily portrayed in the media.
The final show I watched, was a current day reality TV show called Pawn Stars. There were only 2 instances of any form of “violence.” The only instances were 2 insults or derogatory remarks. This was not surprising to me because most historical shows, reality TV shows are not full of violence and other
