Grand Theft Auto

The media these days is blaming almost all of the violence caused by children to be directly related to the violent video games that kids play these days, the movies they watch and the terrible music that is out there. I am here to tell you that this assumption is false and I will tell you why. In GTA (Grand Theft Auto), to steal a car, you simply walk up to any car on the street, open the door and get in. the car automatically has the keys in it and you drive away. If any kid thinks that doing this is even remotely possible, they have their own problems to deal with. When playing the game with my friends, we would laugh at all the dumb things that were possible in the game that would never happen in real life. Violent video games are there so you can let out your anger and kill as many computer life forms in one sitting as possible and not get into trouble for it. The media needs to back of the rappers too. They have blamed Eminem countless times for causing kids to shoot up schools. I’ve always liked Eminem because he addresses real problems in his songs and makes a very good point in one about this. He says “music can alter moods and talk to you, but can it load a gun and cock it too? Well if it can tell the judge it was my fault and I’ll get sued.” He makes a very good point in that he never made anyone shoot up a school yet he gets so much harsh criticism anyways. The media needs to look at the parents and how the child is being raised and not blame abstract things that talk about violence.
