Media Violence Against WomenIn the United States, as well as in most countries around the world, people are bombarded with information on a daily basis. The majority of the information he has seen or heard is a direct result of someone spreading the information to the masses. Whether it's a company that wants us to buy its product, or a newspaper that wants us to believe a certain "fact" it reports, someone has decided how the information will be presented. This notion brings me to the question of how our society perpetuates violence against women through the use of media and television shows. I would argue that because we are socialized daily to believe certain ideas, this same process contributes to violence against women. This encompasses the idea that impressionable young men may ignore the impact of this violence by omitting certain facts in news articles. It is also important to see how the media contributes to the way abused women perceive their role in “creating” this violence. Additionally, I would argue that these media outlets create a certain type of apathy in our society that has caused many people to either blame the victim or turn their heads and view domestic violence as a "family" problem, thereby ignoring completely the legal ramifications. . This area must be understood in order to determine how the distortion of ideas expressed, through the use of television and magazines, is directly related to the societal values ​​represented. The first question I would like to analyze is how we as a society encourage violence against women. Images flow into our homes every day in the middle of paper......taken from our own lives. Only then can we decide if these depictions are in fact the truth, or if they are simply additional rhetoric fed to us from the patriarchal viewpoint of modern media. Works Cited Berns, Nancy.
