i think lou is asking us to argue whether or not if kids who watch any form of television are likely to become violent as opposed to children who dont. and if the theory can be proven how do they differ?. Im of the opinion that a bad person is meant to be and not just crafted by out of the blue by television. mainly because i remember in sociology there was a lesson on kids who are just born bad, so if they gonna be bad they're gonna be bad it's not the television's fault alone. but i also feel there are people who are easily influenced so at the end of the day (to not contadict myself) research must be done, but thats a rough draft of my opinion. if i were to find any evidence i would start with my book on society, maybe search for something on influence and inherited genes.
