Stop Violence!


Hi! Today I will talk about a serious problem in our society which is talked about very often these last days.
The last news of violence happened in Virginia (USA), where a student killed more than 30 people. It has been one of the biggest massacres in schools.
They still don't know the reason which had the killer to do this horrible massacre.
The problem is not to know the reason which had this person. The problem is to search the reason of our violent society.

I will begin talking about video games. Nowadays, video games are divided by ages, so it has to be but the reality is very different. If you go to any video game shop you see 10 years old children buying violent games, which are for adult people, no one says anything. That can't be possible!!

TV is another big messager of violence and of course with a big audience mass. Every 5 minutes you can see some violent scene in TV.

So, we all every day see violence, specially in TV, and this make that some people, who may not have a strong personality, aplicate this violence, seen in TV or played in video games, in the real life. I think that some can't differenciate the reality from the virtual world and that's the basic problem against we all should fight to prevent more massacres like the last in Virginia.

In addition to TV and videogames, it's is really sad to know that in the USA you can buy weapons like you buy a pizza, nearly every american has a weapon. And I ask myself, is this the solution to defend oneself? Or it's more a fact to provocate more violence? How can it be possible to buy so easily a weapon when every day is talked about stopping violence? Why the international organizations don't try to ban such a primitive right?... they are infinite questions about such a topic.


Bye
