Violent media and its effects on children?

[Kevin]

Hi. I have an English essay about (title). I'm in a group with 4 friends and we are expected to give a 5 minute speech (each) regarding this topic. We are role playing a panel-type talk show and I'm supposed to be some sort of social media analyst who can give facts about whether violent media causes aggression in children. etc.

I need some ideas to write about as I can't just spit out facts for 5 minutes straight.

Why don't you get an FMRI as it may tell you why you can't do your own homework.

Go to google scholar and look up violent media and children or similar things. There are many pieces of research and that would be where to look.

Exposure to violent media can result in negative psychological effects, including increased aggressive behavior and a diminished level of excitement toward violent acts. Although research suggests this negative effect is small it is nonetheless significant.
