Media Violence Lisa Larkin HUM/111 March 10, 2012 Joline Huren The topic I have chosen is media violence. Media violence, as expressed in the two articles provided, tell me this is an issue. According to our text, Ruggiero (2009), an issue is identified when it divides informed and intelligent people.

Using material from Item A and elsewhere, assess sociological explanations of the role of the mass media in creating moral panics about crime and deviance. (21) A moral panic is an outrage that is stirred up by the media about a particular group or issue.
