Parents were and still are concerned about how violence in media could affect their children. We briefly discussed this topic in class when we learned about Banduras BoBo doll. I picked this topic because when I was a kid my parents didn’t have many…

Recently, there has been an interesting topic being argued over. The issue that has stirred much controversy recently, is if video games promote violence in the users.
