ViolenceKelton Sheridan
Originally I was going to talk solely about how much violence is in advertisements these days but as I was researching I stumbled onto something much bigger than just advertising: violence is everywhere. In movies, games, commercials, music, basically everything. The three main areas I will focus on are aggression in advertisements, gaming, and shows.
What initially caught my attention was this Youtube video called “Every violent act in the 2010 Super Bowl.”

I’ll talk just briefly (I hope) about gaming. I’m sure we’ve all heard from one adult source or another that violent games turn you into violent people.

"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die." - J.T.G.

Hours & Wages: children report being forced to work 12-14 hours a day, 19-20 hour shifts, often seven days a week. Paid as low as 6 ½ cents an hour.
One worker said that if they could earn just 36 cents an hour, they could climb out of misery and into poverty, where they could live with a modicum of decency
