Introduction

I want to start by laying out the main targets and issues of violence in earch category of media. I plan to outline the main shows, artits, movies, and games that have been especially critized for violent content, and the specific reasons for that critisism.

My I-Search Topic

My i-search topic is violence in American Entertainment. My thesis question is: does violence in music, movies, TV, and videogames negatively influence america's youth? If this is true, I also want to find out who it affects, and specifically how it influences them. In terms of an age range, I want to focus specifically on teenagers for my blog. I decided on this topic because i enjoy the activities that i'm focusing on, the research would relate to my personal life, and music, movies, TV, and videogames is an ever evolving, and ever popular source of entertainment.
In terms of research, I think that I should be able to find plenty of infromation on my topic, and I'm sure that therer will be many statistics from tests and surveys over the last few years relating to violecnce in media. Also, I can speak and comment on this topic form my own experice as well. I enjoy many of the shows, artist, movies, and games that have gotten negative critism because of the violence element, and I plan to voice my own opioion on the subject.
Finally, I hope to express both sides of the argument for violence in media, and to give people an insight on why violence can be both a good, bad, and nuetral influence in our life.
