Summary:
Glen Beck blames pop culture for the social problems in America. Specifically video games have increasingly made this worse. Anybody can experience what was meant for the military for only sixty dollars. This can be seen in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Paraphrase:
The military invented the video game to make it easier for soldiers to kill. In society today kids can participate in the same acts of violence through video games. Most of the problems in society today are caused by the influence of pop culture.
Analysis:
In the video of Glen Beck warning parents about video games, he makes some interesting points about them and their effect on society. For instance he claims that the amount of homicides has increased since the release of video games. Although this may play some role in the increase, I don’t believe that it is the main reason. Just because someone is playing a video game where the main theme of the game is killing doesn’t mean they are going to change into the “Rambo” like killing machine. Most people have the moral values and the common sense to realize that real life and video games are two complete different entities.
