Discussion #1

 Use the following questions to guide your discussion board posts for the week. One original post and two responses to other student's posts are required. Each post must be at least 50 words. You can combine your response into one post. Each of the three posts is worth 5 points each. 

1. What causes crime?
2. Does television media influence behavior?  Does broadcast violence cause aggressive behavior in viewers?
3. How can we explain the fact that millions of kids watch violent television shows and remain non-violent? And, if there is a television violence link, how can we explain the fact that violence rates may have been higher in the “Old West” than they are today?
