Why is there not a large movement to make violence or simulated violence (ex: people being shot but no blood) deemed indecent or even maybe obscene? Let me take it to another extreme; rape or simulated rape. Rape is violence, violence for a power trip, non the less violent - but still as horrible as someone being murdered, of course we have all been decencitized to death by murder, but do you feel that's a good thing?
Why do people feel it's okay to potentially fuel anger and violent behaviour? And it does, people learn through behaviour of others and can act according to what they see on a daily basis (to the small degree of raising your voice when in an argument with someone, to hitting them, to killing them). An outside example, when McDonald's raised their advertising budget by 25%, guess what, their sales went up 25%. Just trying to show disbelievers the corralation between what we see and how that affects our actions.
You may think that is a stretch to compare the two, but it's not, they're both behaviours. What are your thoughts, if any?
And just for fun -
Hope to hear from you all.
Cheers,
Matt
