Society - and Habit Grooming Media & What WE call Entertainment.
We have a mass of Movies, Video Games, and Even Music, that is contentious, murderous, destructive and even some of the entertainer are continually into conflict and assaults, and even murders.
Then we wonder why society is so violent. PEOPLE are "creatures of habit" and the habit is to indulge these things. It goes even further, because even TV commercials have "daredevil" acts in how they promote various things, Car commercials, show vehicles in scenes that do things that would never be legal on public streets, but that's the sales theme.
Decades ago, we did not have everything to the level of "incessant extremes of destruction".... Sadly, it even cartoons from long ago, were very brutal.
But today, the people who create video games, are nothing like the society that created "Board Games".
When I scroll through movies, its even a challenge to find movies that are not horror movies, murder mysteries, or some form of crime and mayhem. Destruction and Killing seems to sell, and then follow that up with "hyper sexualized images of women", even kids shows have that sexualization component. What we see of many of the entertainer, is they develop psychological issues when they reach their late teens or adult hood... because there is no "erasing the mind', and when they are trained to be "sexually provocative"... and later they want to try to escape being sexual objects, but they can't, because once the trend is set... it's how they are promoted, and if they don't accept that type of promotion, they often get no more acting roles.
We are not the "intellegent and ethical society" we like to pretend that we are. We are not the non material obsessed society we think we are, and We are not the non vouyeristic society we think we are. Sex, Power Games, Materialism, Mayhem, Murderous, and Destruction, is the tonality of the media we consume. Soap Opera's have been promoting blackmail, deception, sexual manipulation, sexual bartering and using sex as a 'anything tool"... has long been the theme and basis of Soap Opera's and then Prime Time TV, is all about 'sexual provocative inuendo's", followed by a laugh track and then wrapped in insidious acts, that again is followed by a laugh track.
that's the Media we consume, and we have not even began to discuss the madness of the News... They "Dramatize" anything and then repeat it hour by hour, with different faces spinning the same, Then there's the Right Wing Media that is designed to promote 'Attack something driven anguish promotions' 24/7, and when there is nothing to promote anguish about, they have pundits that conjure up something to promote anguished and indoctrinate people to claim they are aggrieved about anything. Example; the crazy outrage over Mr. Potato head.
It's not likely any of this will change.....
Add in the Smart Phones, even adults can't even complete a work day, without playing digital games.
Add in SOCIAL MEDIA and what results is People can no longer have a conversation or a debate, without it becoming a mutual condition of being enraged and ready to "kill the other" over a difference of opinion.
What may need to change is "Educating People" how to Discern between TV, Movies and Reality, and how to Discern between what is a Game and what is Real Life.

- (Especially when Games and TV NOW raise kids, because parents are on a desperate money chase, to maintain and provide, so they spend in high volume on thse things, they use as 'child sitting tools".... and the child get raised by "Digital Games" and "TV" and Anguish Based Music. )

- Often its Opinions that are promoted by "Media Pundits" that shape people Opinions. Rarely does the individual read and research to find truth based on individual self responsible critical thinking.
