Can violence in video games and cartoons lead to violent children?
I am thinking about looking in to cartoon/ video game violence and how that influences younger audiences. There has been a lot of talk in the news about how children are recreating games that are above the age rating put on the game. Many 3+ games have violence in them somewhere, may not be apparent in the game as most is an objective and most cartoons on TV also have violence in them, sometime children can watch these without the supervision of an adult, then many go on to recreate these with siblings.

One of the cartoons I will be looking at is Looney Tunes,
this has been around since 1930, and its use of violence is quite extreme and
could have a heavy influence on children if watched repeatedly.
Go back to early video games- atari, pac man etc. Start finding pics and videos to put in your blog.
