Prepare a paper of 400- 500 words on these topics.
On page 3 of the American Academic of Pediatrics’ “Virtual Violence” Policy Statement, we have this statement:
“Unfortunately, media reports frequently present ‘both sides’ of the media violence and aggression issue by pairing a research scientist with an industry expert or spokesperson or even
contrarian academic, which creates a false equivalence and the misperception that research and data and scientific consensus are lacking. A sizeable majority of media researchers both in
pediatrics and psychology believe that existing data show a significant link between virtual violence and aggression.”
(a) Explain what this statement means. Be sure to discuss each part of it.
(b) Pick either the Schulzke article or Beth Azar’s “Virtual Violence” American Psychological Association piece (PICK ONE AND ONLY ONE).
