I don’t believe in blaming the media for all problems concerning youth and violence they see as they play these video games.  It’s so true that as a society we look for something or someone to blame when shootings occur in schools, movie theaters, post offices and military bases.  I believe that yes, we can be influenced by video games for example when I played Mortal Kombat with my siblings we would act out these moves on one another and sometimes our friends at school. however, I find it very difficult to understand why society doesn’t recognize that their should be restrictions on what games should be sold to children if their parents allow it then they should take responsibility in explaining to them the difference between what is real and what is fantasy. Also education on firearms is important I think to tell your kids guns  that indeed guns are dangerous and that this is just a game.
