I have a school assessment in which I need your views... (english essay thing... so yeah)...
I was wondering basically..

Do you think we are being desensitized to the violence around us through the media? :geek:
If so, do you think this is a good or a bad thing, and how severe to you think it is? :ugeek:

--Thanks >:D

Sorry I didn't reply earlier... I believe you can be desensitized to violence to a certain extent, after repeated exposure... This is not saying that someone is going to be the next killer for watching Die Hard, it's just saying that soon the images won't look as shocking to you as they would be before the repeated exposure.
