Is Violence Necessary?

Legendary is a movie that was made to be about fighting and wrestling however, the movie also makes us realize how important family members are in our lives trough the main character, a young boy, who desperatelly needs his brother's fighting advice. There are two reasons why this movie was created with violence.
The first reason I believe violence was involved with 'Legendary' was because the purpose of this movie was to be exciting and most excting and breath taking movies are made trough violence. The second reason is because production companies want a good return on their multi-million dollar investments and since movies with violence and horror are very popular on today's market, they believe the will make a good investment.

The next movie that I chose is called, Enough. This movie shows us to stand up for ourselves and to know each one of us is valuable. The movie displays various violence scenes. There are two reasons why I believe this movie was created with violence.
The first reason is because the movie was made to make us see the types of violence out there in the world and they show us types of violence trough the use of computerized effects so the movie can contain spectacular ways to make people realise this. The second reason can also be because historically, movies have always had a 'villan' and a 'hero' who at the end resolve their problems trough violence and this movie plays that role.

I believe violence does tent to make a good movie. The reason why I believe this is because, when you are sitting in a movie theater watching a fight in a movie screen, you get a feeling of either excitement or terror, and those two feelings is what makes people keep going to the movie theaters to watch movies. Althought violence does make a good movie, at times, there is too much of it in one movie. What happens is, that the movie will either get too boring for some people or it will discuss other people.
Some movies however do have to have violence because of their story line in order to get the movie's message across the viewers mind, for example 'Enough'. I dont believe a action or fast-peaced movie can be realised without violence because, people have come to get use to the fact that all fast-peaced or action movies have violence in them that will give them ''chills'' or ''excitment'' after all, producers make movies that will attrack peoples attention so they can make a profit.

How Much is Media Being Used ?

Media is being used every day by people of all ages now a days. We use cell phones, iPod’s, computers and radios on a daily basis and various people believe that their lives depend on these types of technology.

When we looked at the statistics of young adults using media devises, I was impressed by the numbers shown.  The average number of hours teenagers spend a day playing video games in the USA is about 20 to 30 minutes a day. I use to believe that young adults spend between 1 to 2 hours a day. Another statistic that surprised me, was how a lot of people still rely on the radio, well I though most people had replaced the radio with iPod’s and CD’s.

One thing however that I did have in common with most teenagers shown on the chart with comments, was how I’ve had a Facebook account since I was about 14 or how I mostly turn the TV on before going to sleep.  The majority of teenagers and young adults also have inherit the habit of finding all their answers trough Google, I have that habit as well and it’s impressive how much we rely on the Internet now a days.

Two aspects that I would use if I could make a survey on teenagers are on; what do kids from grade 5 to 7 grade mainly use their cell phones for and how many people believe that there should be a certain age for teenagers and kids to have a cell phone, Facebook or e-mail account.
