violence in American society as violence for no end. Indeed, the United States has a culture of violence,
perpetuated by
violence in the media: primarily television, movies and popular songs. This paper shows that children, from a very early age, are raised to accept and even praise violence, as everywhere they turn, they are confronted with another glorification of violence. The papers examines the views of experts on the subject such as the American Psychological Association and Mediascope to determine the role of the media towards a more violent
society. The author also provides his personal opinion on the subject.
