Argument: For Jeff Jacoby, writer of “A Desensitized Society Drenched in Sleaze,” violent entertainment indirectly causes real life violence. He states that even with his highly religious and disciplined background he was “jaded” from exposure to violent TV. he thinks that if he can be desensitized, then anyone can be desensitized.

If exposed to violent TV for an extended amount of time, it may be able to desensitize anyone, especially if they come from an already broken home or bad neighborhood.
Police officers are given the power to take any citizens rights away and even their lives. With that kind of power comes responsibility, that’s one major concern with the amount of discretion officers have is when to use force or when to use lethal force. Why do we have police offers who take an oath to protect us but most of the time they abuse their powers? Police brutality has been an ongoing issue in the United States.

A “moral panic” starts with an unspeakable tragedy, which sparks an attempt to ascribe blame and responsibility. Framers or activists, fueled with exaggeration of statistics and the strong imagery presented through pop culture and especially the media help define “moral panic”. The most interesting relationship to me that is created by the “moral panic” is the involvement of the media or pop culture. The media in all these articles have a crucial role in escalating the issue as well as pop culture. The movies, literature, and news all have a stake in the phenomenon of serial homicide.
