Comparing violence

their hypothesis by comparing physical aggression before and after long-term exposure to violent video games. For both the first and second wave one-year later, they measured participants’ physical aggressiveness using Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) (Buss & Perry, 1992) and their preference for video games by asking their favorite and currently-played video games which were rated via age rating system Unterhaltungssoftware Selbskongrolle (USK) (see www.usk.de/en) for violence level and their frequency

adolescent stem from playing violent video games. In 1976, the first violent video game “Death Race” was released but, never held accountable for wrong doings of the youths of that time era. It has only been in recent years that society blames the violence within these games for the negative behaviors of youths. The graphics within these games have consistently improved over that past few decades and now seem just as realistic as life itself. Although, video games are more realistic than decades before

Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 28(8), 1672-1692. doi: 10.1177/0886260512468319 Introduction A nonexperimental research study was conducted to explain and predict hypervigilance in the returning soldier. Specifically, the researchers aimed to determine if military training is associated with hypervigilance, if trauma alone can produce higher levels of hypervigilance

A third example of games being the blame of violence was the case of Adam Lanza. On 14 December 2012, he committed the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, after which the first reports from media misidentified the shooter as his brother, Ryan Lanza. On Facebook Ryan had liked the ‘Mass Effect’ page which lead to an internet frenzy immediately launched at the page, dubbing the developes as “child killers.” After the error had been discovered that it was really Adam to blame, news stories jumped

truth that media has the ability to effect the masses. But, the effect of music and the message it is sends to its listeners is not always a positive one. I am aiming to describe how sexism in music is an epidemic in our country today. I’ll also be comparing and contrasting different music genres, to see if certain types of music are better or worse than others. A common phrase in media and advertising is “Sex Sells”, but at what cost? Before examining sexism in the different genres, I’d like to take

theoretical considerations about determinants of violence, crime and delinquency in general and in sports are being analysed. For the purposes of this study I contacted a small-scale case study research project with 300 PAOK Thessaloniki FC supporters; in an attempt to determine the factors that contribute to the genesis or escalation of violence in the Greek football league. The research findings of this project have been

would be observed to analyze if any anti-social behavior is depicted. It is reasonable to predict that juveniles, whose parents have been incarcerated throughout their lifetime, will demonstrate acts of violence and illegal behaviors towards society. Prisoners’ children are more accessible to violence since no parental supervision is acquired when the parents are locked up.

As technology advances, new and creative forms of entertainment immerge from these advancements. One form that has grown immensely in popularity over the past dozen years has been video games. Taking form nearly four decades ago, video games have been one of the major embodiments of the growth of entertainment technology. Today, video games have taken many shapes, from the general PC and console games to special applications that can be found on social networks and even millions of cell phones around

Before the mid-1900s, people believed parents should have absolute control of their children and husbands should have absolute control of their wives. They also believed they could own people. Since slavery was allowed, at least in the South, owners could beat their workers―many who were eight-year-olds. Laws on preventing child abuse have failed but there have been progressive, changing attitudes towards abuse. When the Civil War ended in 1865, the senate passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery

This shows that Bianca is trying to stand up to Katherina, but in response to this she is struck by her sister, once again showing Katherina's inclination to use physical violence whenever possible. Although we should be feeling sympathetic towards Bianca at this stage, we can't help but sympathise for Katherina also. There is obviously a reason for this behaviour and although she denies it maybe Katherina
