The Yes argument on the question simply states that popular media has caused people to act differently and more violent in reality. These people watch movies, news, and play violent video games such as grand theft auto and saints row. More and more people are attracted to this violence, because America likes violence in media. However America is seeing more and more crimes and murders due to following what they see and play. This media is becoming a lot more popular and is causing different ethnic groups too hate each other. Another example are the war games, like modern Warfare, these games have the U.S. killing all the middle eastern and other country's people in war. By these kids playing this it is teaching them that when they grow up to hate all these certain people and some of them act on it when they are older. When a lot of these people are citizens of the Unites States and have done nothing wrong. Hate Speech has directly affected the culture.
The No side argues that the study of extremist groups using internet has benefited them. In the middle east the internet and media has helped get the voice of these movements heard. First they form a group to stand up, and the journalists from the United States reads it and puts it out in the media and gets there voice heard to get them some power and help from others. With this being said media/internet has not affected the culture in a bad way.
In my opinion i believe that these video games are getting out of hand, and that a certain age should not be allowed to play them because they have not been taught a lot about the world and cannot judge it and or make violent acts based on a video game. And i do agree that the media has not affected the culture in the way that the movements in the middle east are succeeding.
