Flimmakers, Gamer Manufactures v.s Parents

So this week in class we are dicussing reather or not Film makers & Game Manufactures should be held responsible for the violence they put out to other children or if its the Parents responsible to contorl it?
... So this was my response...

" After watching Bill Goodkoontz video dicussing the effects of violence on audiences and gamers I learned enough and was filled in on what I already knew for the most part. Film makers, game manufactures, etc. bear no responsibilty when it comes to depicting violence. When a young Child and or teenager plays a video game that has a whole lot of violence they eventually tend to memick what they see. There for when they hurt others in real life because of a game or movie the people who made them hold no responsibility for others actions after the game or movie is bought. Parents on the other hand hold alot of responsibility when they expouse or allow their children to these violent sources. When they are purchasing these games or movies for the children they are not thinking that they are going to do harm to others. Once their child does memick the game and or movie, and when they do harm others, the parents of that child are a hundred percent responsible in every way. We try to minimize the violence in this world for the children but film makers and game manufactures do not make it easier for anyone to cut the amount of violence children have to see. "

.. Some others say its not the manufactures fault or responsibility at all in any way.. To me it starts some where it does not need to live the studios at all but it does.. So I personall think they should hold some responsibility when them, them self's do not allow their own kids to watch or play the game or movie they put out ..

  1. I agree with you. Though I don't see people often reenacting video games. Perhaps maybe kids just being kids doing things in their back yard.. ie: back yard wrestling. I don't really think video games make kids want to pursue actually shooting people in the head, or purposely running from the police to get "points." I think it's the kids that need help in general if they really think that just because it is in the video games or movies that they would actually want to go out and do those things...

  3. yes jess very true it usely is the kids who are already sick in the mind and needed some help before hand but take dungens and dragons .. kids used to reinact that all the time.. but it still was not the consumers fault. It starts somewhere and it starts with the manufacuters.. if they do not want their own kids seeing their work how far is it to other parents children ?

  4. Well, D&D was completely in your head. From what I remember of it at least. I don't remember anyone actually take a sword and stabbing someone with it... I see violent video games and movies as a sense of entertainment... I wouldn't mind having my son watching them. Though I would make sure he was old enough to understand that it is just pretend, and actually lighting someone on fire isn't something a person should do..or you face the consequences.. so on and so forth.
