im not sure if i agree with this

Media has been around for a long time, and it has been blamed for many incidents that have happened in the past, and it will be blamed for future predicaments. It is undeniable that mass media changes the way people think, and the way they act, but with all due respect it has never made anyone commit a crime, it has never made anyone murder somebody. I believe people who are easily manipulated (and people who are just downright stupid) blame things like the media for changing the way people act. I know I have changed my ways because of media, but only to a certain extent. It is up to the mind of the person taking in the media to decide whether or not it is reality or not. But this brings to question the age of children taking in the media. This is a bitchy thing to say, but once you consider it and really think about it I think you will agree with me. Children can not always be innocent, they need to realize what is going on in the world at some point. Maturity will bring our young ones a long way if they let it. I think with growing technology, human kind needs to grow too. It is time to quit being oblivious to children and what they know, and to let them in even more. They are our future leaders of tomorrow and the more they know in years to come, the more beneficial it will be to society. I do not believe violence is learned in the media, I believe violence and other such ‘horrible’ things are learned at home.
