Addressing specifically the question of violence and the media, The Killing Screens urges us to think about the effects of the media in new and complex ways. In contrast to the relatively simplistic behaviorist model that media violence causes real-world violence, Gerbner encourages us to think about the psychological, political, social and developmental impacts of growing up and living within a cultural environment of pervasive, ritualized violent images.

    Apparently the spanish version of Terminator 2, is Terminator 1.

    I was confused at first when they said “RAMBO” had 62 corpses, because the first Rambo movie had 0 corpses (Rambo only puts some people in the hospital), and it was called First Blood. The second movie was called RAMBO: First Blood, or just RAMBO for short. The reason it’s confusing is Rambo 3, which should have been called First Blood 3 (but anyone can understand why they’d use RAMBO instead).

    Representations of violence have always been presented as a form of entertainment. Take Shakespeare for example – his tragedies are profusely violent (see King Lear). Why? In the words of Tarantino: Because it’s so much fun.

    That is not true at all
    Tibet was violence free before being overtaken by China because their religion Buddhism advocated peace and kindness
    Quakers were also extremely nonviolent because their religion taught them to be kind and not to use violence
    It’s all due to cultural conditioning

    Most of what this guy says his all hype and exaggerated. What he is basically saying that violence is not naturally part of human nature, but instead installed by evil capitalist. I say bullshit. Violence was always a part of human culture.
