If there are no objections, I thought we could change this week’s article to the one embedded below. This article might be more useful given some of the behaviors we’ve seen around school recently and may help students become more meta-cognitive about their thoughts and behaviors.
While the article doesn’t go into much detail about the influence of media violence on behavior, it may make for a lively and valuable discussion. Here are some additional articles that effectively present arguments from both sides:
- How do video games, social isolation, and online forums contribute to violence in society?
- Carey, Benedict. “Studying the Effects of Playing Violent Video Games.” The New York Times, 11 Feb. 2013. Web. 7 Oct. 2015.
- Grossman, Dave. Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence. Boston: Little, Brown and Co, 1999.
- Gray, Peter. The Many Benefits, for Kids, of Playing Video Games. Psychology Today, 7 Jan. 2012. 7 Oct. 2015.
- “Video Games ProCon.org.” n.d. 7 Oct. 2015.
