Cathartic activity. Huh.
Interesting viewpoint on a topic that’s probably tossed around quite a bit in households now.
I’ve never heard this argument — it makes enough sense that I am going to follow up on it. I agree with Armand’s rule against realistic toy guns. I am withholding my opinion for now, but this is a compelling argument.
Since I have a son that is now 16, I’ve read a little about this, time to time. I have no idea if the games and tv are a direct cause for any of the seemingly endless violence that surrounds us – but I do have to say that we seem to have become jaded to blood and guts…you’d just have to surmise they are intertwined…
That has been my opinion, but I see the validity of fantasy violence as a response to a frightening and difficult world. Of course, since I have no children, my interest is somewhat objective, compared to yours or any parent’s.
