Mean World Syndrome

After watching the video I completely agree with how Americans act towards violence.
First of all media violence has been in an all time high with violent video games and cyber bullying. An example of a violent video game would be the video game Doom which caused two teenage boys to kill their own class mates in the "Columbine Murders" and then they eventually committed suicide. Cyber bullying has also been a very big act of Internet violence because people would bully a person to the point where they take their own life because they don't think their life is worth it anymore.
Branching out more a lot of violence now is due to racism. Now a days a lot of Caucasian people judge African- Americans, Muslim-Americans, and Latin-Americans because the color of their skin and stereotypes of how they are violent people, extremists, and sketchy people due to the fact that the media shows that image of them.

The media shows these people has terrorists or rapists and this enhances peoples beliefs in these people because the media is showing how "bad" these people are. Now to me I am from New Hampshire where there isn't that much racial diversity but I have been taught to treat everyone with respect no matter what skin color they are. Granted there will always be racist people in the world but the fewer the better. Even though there are Muslim extremest out in the world doesn't mean all of them are and not all African- Americans are  murders. There are a lot of good African- American people like Martin Luther King Jr. who wanted peace for everyone and I guarantee not all Muslims are extreme.

To change the general public view of these "people" the media really has some cleaning up to do. They have given the minority races a really bad reputation because whenever they are in the news its only for bad things. Whenever a Caucasian person does something wrong it isn't in the Breaking News section while if an African-American did something wrong than it would be in the Breaking News section. If we eliminated racism in America there wouldn't be this racist media view. The media wouldn't pin point the minorities as violent people.

To me everyone is created equal. Even after 9/11 I was racist towards Muslim-Americans I will admit that but I don't think a single sole wasn't a little bit racist a week after the attack. For the most part I am a non racist person and will is completely fine with different races that inhabit the United States. I have the most problems with Caucasians if it makes any difference, I deal with them everyday and they can be very snobby and uptight and think they are better than everyone else. This attitude will change over time if the media changes its view and stops pointing out minority races in the news and all over TV.
