It is alarming the amount of violence we see in the news everyday. The violence is contributing greatly to the process of desensitization in today's society.

This montage shows what can be seen on TV and in newspapers that contribute to the trend of desensitization.

  • read 1,500 books.

    that will make you stronger than any boxer ever was or will be.

  • but at the same time hardened people are immune to the human feelings that come with tragedy. tragedy does not have to be a large event like september 11th or the virginia tech shootings. i believe that a person who has become hardened by violence isn't really a person anymore and the belief that violence should be accepted as ok and normal is wrong.

  • My response to the quote at the beginning of this video:

    "Peace through Power." -Kane

  • any1 no the name of this beat?

  • I think this film is missing the point completely.

    It's not large-scale violence that corrupts....it's sitting at home gaming....winning points by hurting/killing other 'virtual' people, or watching the 'hero' in a movie kill the 'baddies'. Stronger is better? ...no, it's not.

  • The thing is. A person can always feel emotions, it is just whether or not they are mentally strong enough to cope with those feelings. If you are easily set off balance emotionally it isn't a good thing, you become weak and unstable, easy to exploit.

  • @bighairyfrog

    Unfortunately your mental condition is stable according to mainstream psychology.. violence is very human, we are after all animals.

  • The idea of violence does not bother me at all. Should I seek help? Or are some people just naturally like that?

  • False, they keep a tough shell on the surface while they are dying inside literally mentally they are not stronger, they are weaker.

  • try 'the life and opinions of tristram shandy, gentleman'. it is my favorite book ever. peace over and out

  • cool !! ill check him out !!

  • I'll see your Ken Wilber (I have no idea who that is), and raise you a Laurence Sterne :)
