Gun Violence and Social Media: Rise and Fall Max Barrett ECPI University The Rise and Fall of Gun Violence in the United States I live in and around Richmond Virginia, A place some would consider the northern tip of "the bible belt", and a place that is mostly pro-gun. With the recent spate of shootings, mass or otherwise, it is widely believed that the number of deaths caused by the incidence of gun violence in the U.S. has exponentially risen. While gun violence, or the incidence thereof, has risen, our reaction to it has been deepened due to our constantly, consistently interconnected state.

Jones admits that violent media is not harmless and that it does inspire some children into doing real life violence, but goes on to say that it has helped more than it has harmed. Like Jones mentions before, "When we try to protect our children from their own feelings and fantasies, we shelter them not against violence but against power and selfhood." I know, from personal understanding, that when you grow up fearing to express your feelings because you are afraid that you are going to get in trouble either at home or at school, you bottle everything up inside you and do not let go of it easily. Its common knowledge that if you bottle something up for too long it is either going to come out somehow, whether you want it to or not.

This can help can help them and give them a positive transformation. Many see education is the key to youth rehabilitation.

In rehabilitation, the youth has a right to receive education, such as getting caught up with their school work. Juveniles need a strong education programs, so they are inspired to finish their studies and pursue careers in the future. Another solution for juvenile justice is detention centers.

In “Does Social Media Perpetuate Youth Violence?” and “The Impact of Media Violence on Children and Adolescents: Opportunities for Clinical Interventions” the violence on social media is discussed and indicates it promotes violence behavior in minors. In “Does Social Media Perpetuate Youth Violence?” it directly states that “Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have become a platform for youth violence… gangs used these social media sites to make threats, “call out” rival gangs, promote violence and recruit members. This activity led to real “Stomp-Outs”, real shootings, and real deaths and… a new trend called “Fight Compilations” has become increasingly popular on sites such as World Star Hip Hop and YouTube” (Bostic). This shows that social media is too violent for minors to use.

This shows that social media causes violence. In both articles, evidence there is strong correlation between social media use and violence in minors is presented.

However, teen violence can be prevented. The government has established laws and campaigns to educate and protect victims. Teenagers go through many changes during their adolescent years and peer influence can make it hard to decipher between right and wrong. However, by high school, teenagers should be able to determine and understand healthy relationships; unfortunately, teenage dating violence statistics continue to rise at alarming rates.
