evidently common in all experiments carried out by researchers, however some restrictions may be significant to the interpretation of the results. For example, many of the studies such as that of Dittrick et al. displaying a correlation between video games and violent behaviour in youth, were tested for short term effects as opposed to long term (Dittrick et al., 2013, p. 300). These effects may decline as years pass. In studies such as Fraser et al. only student volunteers were observed (Fraser…

Whether modern culture is ruining children or benefiting is a topic that has under debate a lot in recent years since critics have started questioning on its health and psychological impacts on children. These questions will inevitably force us to decide whether the good effects of modern culture are significant enough to overshadow the bad.

Picking up the next map and carefully examining each of the continents I thought, “This is what I love. I do think I will be happy forever helping others…

Mega-vid is a giant multinational video game production company. Like other video game companies, Mega-Vid is facing increasing criticism from people who are concerned that video games encourage violent behavior (College for America at Southern New Hampshire, 2014). So as a father, a former victim and a concerned American, I believe it’s time that we rise up against the video game industry to defend our kids and stop teaching them how to kill, all for the sake of the “mighty dollar.” Said Mark…

Greg Ruth wrote an essay about how horror is beneficial for kids, appropriately named “Why Horror is Good for You (and Even Better for Your Kids)”. He explains how horror for kids has slowly been diminishing at the children’s expense. He argues that kids today are sheltered and not introduced to horror the way that they used to be.

Media companies aren't really affected by big events such as the Golden Globes. However, maybe this time, media companies should start caring. Do you currently own a publicly traded media company or are…

The Gamemakers’ Violence in Reality TV The Gamemakers of The Hunger Games have one job, and it’s to keep the Games bloody and gory, which ties directly to the theme of violence in reality TV because they are the perpetrators of such violence. The people of the capitol celebrate the games, constantly bet money on who will win, and send gifts as sponsors to their favorite tributes. Violent twists in the games keep the outcome unpredictable and keep those watching interested to the very end. To…

done as to how it affects children. Children from ages 8-18 watch tv, play video games, and are social media for an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes (Rubin 2010). In much of adolescent development, aggression and violence is attributed to the desensitization through video games. However, in more recent arguments, there has been a large bias exposed in more recent studies in the support of violence leading to video games. In their findings, targeting variables that other researches evaded, they…
