violence in the media

what is the impact of media violence on our daily lives?

violence in the media has great effect on our everyday lives. for some people they enjoy the violence in the media, they think its "cool". for others violence in the media puts fear into their lives. scary movies for example, some people love scary movies it gives them excitement. others are terrified, they are paranoid after watching scary movies. news reports is another example, local news even, people are afraid when they hear about violent crimes happening around them, they are very cautious about what they do around their house and when they go out. song lyrics is another example of media violence, most people don't realize that songs have violent lyrics they just listen to the song and sing along to it but they aren't really listening to the words that are coming out of their mouth, they don't realize the songs are talking about beating someone up or anything like that, they just listen to the beat and if they like the beat they like the song i guess. so, violence in the media has mixed effects on people.
