Violence in Media and Society

I believe that violence came before media was even in existence, but then violent media contributed to what was happening in society. There was violence between humans about food or shelter before there was ever newspaper or tv to reflect what was happening. However, think of school shootings that have been going on lately. The people who view that on the news get so used to seeing that that some think it’s ok and go on to try it for themselves. Also, a lot of humans are trusting media more and more and a lot of the information they are getting isn’t even true, or is biased. This can lead to misinformed and violent decisions. Violence and society are definitely building on each other to increase violence in our everyday lives
