Annotated Bibliography: Mind AbuseViolent media, especially television shows and video games at a young age, can cause children to become more aggressive and violent as they grow up, because they tend to repeat what they have done. see Agarwal, Vivek and Saranya Dhanasekaran. “Adverse Effects of Media on Children and Adolescents.” Journal of India Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health 8.2 (2012): 38-45. Ebsco. Internet. April 2, 2014. Vivek Agarwal and Saranya Dhanasekaran explain that many children spend a lot of time on the Internet, watching TV, watching movies, and playing video games, and what dangerous effects media can have on young children . . Agarwal and Dhanasekaren discuss how violence in the media makes it seem like a way to resolve conflict because it is effective and has no consequences in the TV show. Children quickly learn to have aggressive attitudes and become insensitive to violence. Agarwal and Dhanasekaren gain credibility by using survey results, not showing bias and seeing things from both sides.

I could explain in detail how the more violent media a child is exposed to, the more likely they are to become violent. Bartholow, Bruce and Craig Anderson. “Effects of violent video games on aggressive behavior: potential sex differences.” » Journal of Experimental Social Psychology 38.3 (2002): 283-290 Science Direct. Internet. April 1, 2014. Experimental and correlational research by Bruce Bartholow and Craig Anderson generally suggests that exposure to media violence is linked to an increase in aggressive behavior and aggression......middle of the The article......Savage attempts to understand why this is the case by discussing the relationship between exposure to television and movie violence and violent behavior in the context of the empirical and theoretical literature on violent crimes. Critiques of the media violence literature were offered, as well as a discussion of the divide between the absence of media violence in the criminological literature and the emphasis on it in other disciplines. Savage gains credibility by using other people's research and studies to support his claims. This article will not be used in my argument because the study that was conducted concluded that the empirical literature on media violence and aggression has not established that exposure to media violence causes violent criminal behavior. Therefore, this would not help me support my claim that media violence can cause violent criminal behavior..
