Media Violence and Children

Paper Summary:

This paper compares three different types of journals (scholarly, trade, and popular) in their editorial opinion of media violence and the marketing of it to children. It compares the record industry to other entertainment industries, such as movie studios and the video game industry. The author of the paper argues that there is a direct correlation between media violence and children's violent behavior, and calls on parents to censor their children's media.

From the Paper:

"I remember purchasing a CD by a group (not mentioned) when I was about 15 years old. The CD displayed a label "Parent Advisory" in the bottom right corner, and I recall thinking "Do I need my mom to be here for this?" Sure enough, I purchased it without so much as a second glance, and wondered why they even bothered with the sticker anyway."
