In this generation driven by the technology boom, people of all ages are consumed by a wide variety of media types. Through this media consumption, humans are able to put themselves in the shoes of others and can be profoundly affected by what they are exposed to through media. For example, humans may experience internal feelings of satisfaction when a superhero finally catches the villain at the end of an action-packed thriller and justice is served. However, this media consumption can also trigger negative emotions, and violent depictions of everyday situations in the media may be correlated with generations of young people acting in similar aggressive ways in reality. Media situations imitate reality in an exaggerated way, but because of the personality of the media, children often use them as personal guidelines for how they should act, look, feel, think, and treat others. This article will examine how different types of media and culture portray the way men should look and act, the prevalence of violence among media and how this affects generations of young people, and how all of these aspects relate to issues of juvenile delinquency. The American Medical Association (AMA) estimates that by the age of 18, a person will have seen more than 200,000 acts of violence on television and movies, including 16,000 murders” (Violence in the Media, Scholastic Scope , 01/22/01: 5). Given the high prevalence of violence in children's media, it is almost impossible to protect children from the effects of these depictions of aggressive behavior (http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/21/living /parenting-kids-violence-media/). In that same article, Caroline Knorr, editor-in-chief for Common Sense Media, states: "Ninety percent of films, 68% of videos... middle of paper... being a man and a woman, and the acts of violence that result from such representations. However, I believe that parents can have more control over the degree of violence to which their children may be exposed. Perhaps these concerned parents could reduce the number of television shows they allow their children to watch and ban video game devices from their family home until their children reach a certain age. There are many ways to present the actions of young offenders to younger generations, but common media portrayals of violence may be correlated with the development of young offenders. Violent media does not cause juvenile delinquency because correlation is not causation, but through the reasons examined in this research paper, juvenile delinquent acts may be correlated to the hyper-violent media system in the United States..
