I was thinking about what Spoor was saying in class yesterday, about the role that masculinity plays in the shootings. I don't really think media plays all that big a role in turning a person into a killer. I've seen a lot of violent movies and played a lot of violent videogames, but that doesn't give me any desire to go out and kill people. But then again I know the difference between real life violence and movie violence and am appalled at violence that actually happens in real life. I think that the reason some people turn to violence is because they have serious psychologic and social issues. I think that people who have problems like this need to get help. But people also need to treat each other better. Like we talked about in class, being called hurtful names can really effect someone badly.
