After reading the article “Do Violent Video Games Lead to Violence?” the article talks about how kids are easily influenced by social media and video games. This can lead to violent behaviors and also links to reasons behind multiple school shootings. In the article, they provided an example of a mass shooting that happened in Texas. The shooter made a reference to a shooting video game he had played and explained how he understood how shootings worked and was very well familiar with violence and guns. This caused a panic among adults and politicians as they claimed that violent video games are the reason behind all these mass shootings.

This helps with my research paper because it provided an example of a mass shooting that happened due to a video game. Everyone including kids have access to these video games and are exposed to these games violent nature on a daily basis. If you are exposed to violence you are likely going to think that these are normal and that there is nothing wrong with it. Like the article stated, kids are easily influenced by the social media and violent video games. Although these video games are fiction, if kids are continuously exposed to it everyday, it can lead to something much more concerning.

Is the internet influencing kids to become more violent? Has violence in TV shows and video games become normalized? How does violence on the internet influence kids views on famous serial killers? Is society glamorizing serial killers? How does parenting style affect kids behavior? Are kids mental health being affected by the glamorization of serial killers?

Entry #2: I accidentally left my scallion in my car. The scorching heat made it all sad and wobbly. Every time I picked it up the scallion would flop to its side like those sad deflated animal balloons. I always forget things and by the time I remember about it, it’s too late. The damage had been done. It really goes to show that nothing is irreversible and you have to live with the choices you made. I wish I would have taken the scallion out of the car. I wish I had done a lot of things differently.

Entry #3: After my sad encounter with my scallion, I decided to throw it away. I couldn’t make use of a sad rotten scallion like I had initially planned on. The lingering smell of the scallion was still stuck to my car reminding me of my mistake and my forgetfulness. If only I hadn’t forgotten about my scallion maybe I wouldn’t have to be sitting here in my car breathing in the stink. But like always, as time passes the smell slowly faded away and I completely forgot about the scallion. The same way I would forget about everything else.
