Assignment task:
Desensitization to Violence
Regarding the media's coverage of violent crimes and events, desensitization to violence is a serious concern. Research has shown that exposure to violent media can lead to desensitization, making individuals less sensitive to violent images and more likely to engage in violent behavior. The more a person is exposed to violent media, the more likely they become desensitized.
The media's constant coverage of violent crimes and events can contribute to this desensitization by bombarding individuals with violent images and stories. Additionally, the media's sensationalized coverage can contribute to copycat crimes, where individuals are inspired to commit similar acts for attention or notoriety.
Therefore, the media needs to be mindful of how they report violent crimes and events. They can lessen the possibility of desensitization and copycat crimes by avoiding sensationalized reporting and graphic images
