Violent Video Games
The subject for the mock trial was fairly interesting to me. It's so crazy that media can have such an effect on people! I am a huge proponent for people not playing violent video games, yet some people have the complete opposite view from me. I feel like even though the effect sizes are small for the research showing that violent video games have an effect, we should still make an effort to limit the amount of people who play them. When one person yelled "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there was not a fire, he ended up causing people to die and there is now a law against doing this. One person! We have several cases of minors who play violent games and then go out and kill multiple people, so why don't we have a law against this?

Interesting that is true...I feel they don't because lots of companies would lose money and we know how people can be when it comes to money.
