Writer's Block: Cause or symptom?
I think that violence in the media definitely prompts violence in real life. There was, for example, a person who ended up killing someone because he saw that in a video game and emulated what he saw.
I also think that the media can both reflect and reshape values. 9-1-1 comes to mind. After that was shown so many times, alot of people started being against Muslims, even peaceful ones who never harmed anyone. But, before that, there were always racists and those who hate simply because the other persons are different from them.
