“Kids have access to everything that’s in the media, everything that’s on the internet as well as on television–they see that violence and sometimes they’re influenced by that, so they might act on that. Let’s stop violence!”

“I would say that it probably does play a big part in how we see something, how we see what’s going on in the world. We see it in a different way or in a different light, and I could say that the people that do watch a lot of violent TV are more aggressive.”

“I think it depends on the way people view things. If people have really low self-esteem they might do something that’s on TV just to bump it up a little, get a little something, be recognized by some people, and that’s where I think violence comes from, that they don’t really have high self-esteem.”
Jordan Elam

“Yes and no. I feel like if you just watch it just for something to watch, I don’t think you’re going to go out and be violent.”
