It is very well known the America may be the most violent country in the world. So violent hat when I looked up number of serial killers by country United States had a separate link to another page because the couldn't fit it on the wikipedia page. 16,238 people where killed in america in the past year. So why is america so violent why don't people have restraint. I believe it is because of violent video games and TV shows.
Every time I look into a game stop store now of days i see some solder holding a gun looking like he is ready to shoot somebody and most likely kill them. There are hundreds and thousands of people playing games that involve killing people is sometime horrific and graphic ways. This I feel like can make people numb to violence especially those that play those types of games at a young age.
Then there are also hundreds of violent shows and movies especially the popular shows: the walking dead, criminal minds and any detective show can get rather graphic. These shows can often show even the good guy killing the bad guy showing americans that it is ok to kill people as long as you have a moral or legal reason to do so.
So many things in our society expose the public to violence making us more prone to end each others lives. Not to mention the media mostly focuses and stories in which someone was killed or died. Everyday the things around us are imprinting violent thoughts and images into our minds and this I believe to be the main cause for the violence in our country.
