“The TV generation is postliterate and retribalized. It seeks by violence to scrub the old private image and to merge in a new tribal identity, like any corporate executive.” ViolenceGenerationsIdentityTvsCorporateExecutives Author:Marshall McLuhan
“Watching violence in movies or in TV programs stimulates the spectators to imitate what they see much more than if seen live or on TV news. In movies, violence is filmed with perfect illumination, spectacular scenery, and in slow motion, making it even romantic. However, in the news, the public has a much better perception of how horrible violence can be, and it is used with objectives that do not exist in the movies.” IfsUsedPerfectViolenceTelevisionTvsPerceptionNewsProgramHorribleObjectivesSpectatorsSpectacularIlluminationScenerySlow MotionTv NewsViolence In Movies Author:Steven Spielberg

“In a culture of electronic violence, images that once caused us to empathize with the pain and trauma of another human being, excite a momentary adrenaline rush. To be numb to another's pain - to be acculturated to violence - is one of the worst consequences our technological advances.

“I do think a lot of sexual violence stems from experiences in childhood or at puberty. Some people become sadistic after suffering early abuse at the hands of parents, relatives or friends. But for others, the seed is planted in the formative years by the conflation of images of violence with those of sexual arousal. Magazines, TV shows and, especially, slasher movies are masters at doing this.” PeopleThinkingYearsShowsHandsSufferingParentViolenceChildhoodMastersTvsAbuseSeedsMagazinesStemTv ShowsPubertySadisticArousalFormative Years Author:Park Dietz
