Media Violence

I think media violence is a way for producers to attract more consumers. I don’t think violence in the media is meant to teach little kids that violence okay. I think that now a days violence sells more then non-violence. Media violence is also stereotypical sometimes. For example, some violent video games that are out they portray the white male in a position of authority, whereas minorities are the criminals going around killing people just because or for the superior white male. Every white man is not in a position of high authority in the real world, so I don’t think they should be portrayed that way in majority of video games. Also with the white male at the head in video games telling people to go out and commit crimes, it kind of gives off the image that they are the reason for a lot of violence. They also show that the women are objects or they are beneath the male. For example, in Grand Theft Auto there are many strip clubs where the character can go into and see strippers. Also the character can be seen picking up prostitutes off the street, having sex with her in the back seat of the car, and then dragging her out of the car and beating her to death.
