2) Louis class is very interesting, having the opportunity to listen to everyone opinion in the way the media works is so amazing. In our mid-term paper he wants us to share our opinion on what is going on in the media which is affecting children in becoming violent. He wants us television of our main evidence not internet or magazine. My initial position is the media need to have more educational shows that are watchable. The source I would use is the internet and research on how they came up with reality shows. The whole media need to change because television is not the same anymore.
