when i first read these articles i thought to myself that it was very true. the media does make the people think of violence as “fun and games”. there are many movies, books, video games, and even commericals that portray violence. you have everybody watching these or reading these. i think that the video games are the worst out of all of them. its allowing anybody to put a gun in their hands and shoot at people, animals, aliens, zomibies, etc. if you have alittle kid doing this he’s going to think to himself “well if i can do it in the video game, why can’t i do it in person?” I can agree with the fact that not all people think this way but it does happen. in the second article i liked how it made you think. it didn’t really interest me though. the third one however caught my eye. i think that people that wear brand names do it to feel good that they are wearing soemthing that’s in a way “popular” also, i think that people buy it because that’s “what everyone else is doing” whether your in high school, college, or at a job your going to want to have nice things. don’t get me wrong i have some brand name things, but i don’t do it to be “in with the crowd” i do it to feel good about myself. but then again, if i saw a shirt for let’s say 10 dollars and the almost exact shirt for 40 dollars at the 40 dollar one was brand name, i’d go for the 10 dollars one; espicaly in this time of day. but anyways, i just think people do it to either feel good about themselves or have others think “oh wow look at them, they have something name brand.”
