It's that time of day for one of my more important and mind working discussions!

No doubt we've all heard the theory that the Media "brain washes" people, and that it feeds ideas into their heads. There are people, however , who take it further than that, and claim that the more vicious media provoke vicious acts.

What are your views on this?

Please, don't make this into a "Video games do not make you attack other people" thread. I've heard so much of that before, and this thread isn't designed for that particular argument. This is media as a whole, adressing the whole world.

Personally, it's an interesting thought. And although I am motivated by the media, be it adverts or films, or stars. But I always hold my own view on it, so I don't let it motivate me 100% how it wants to.

Also, one thing I querie against the "action-causing" sides of the argument. If violent sequences, or games make us do violent things. Then how comes when we watch good and rational things, why do we not aspire to do those?
