Blog 11

Claim-an assertion of something as a fact
reasons-a statement presented in justification or explanation of a belief or action.
evidence-that which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof.

After some research I have come up with the claim that television and media in general can lead to violence but not in all circumstances. Television has been blamed in many cases of murder or violent acts, but I don't think it condones it and only believe it is used as an excuse. However it is difficult for media sources, because not only is violence a part of our every day life through the news, but it is also what people want to watch. The percentage of violence on television shows continues to grow according to many studies. I need to further my research and come up with more information, statistics, and evidence to support my claim.
