 connection. In my opinion, it is not in the media that we should put the blame.
To begin

 it. I truly believe that some people were born to be evil. Putting blame on television or violent video games is just an excuse for them. Take,
for instance
, famous serial killers of the 60s and 70s, they did not grow up playing violent video games, they did not spend hours in front of a tv watching violent

 shows or films, because mainly, they only exist today.
Also
, if we take that information as a base, that people get more violent because of TV and games, I bet that practically the whole world would be violent nowadays, right? Well, at least a lot of the young people of the world! Imagine what chaos, we would be facing

in
 those days with all those crazy games? As for myself, I already have played a lot of those games and never thought to shoot or hit anyone out there. To conclude, yes, I even understand some people accuse the media of the cause of the violence but in fact, I think it is more useful in reducing it than increasing it. The media should be seen as a great tool to spread peace.
