Violence in Media.

I am the only girl of 5 brothers, so obviously growing up I was forced to do what the boys wanted to do. I was a tom boy, I played Mortal Kombat with them, and Tony Hawk, I watched James Bond and Zorro. I played in the creek, and tried to dress exactly like my brothers. Through all this, I saw some pretty violent things. Even now as I am more of a "woman" I love movies like Saw, House of 1000 Corpses, Halloween, Grindhouse, 28 Days Later. All these movies are, to some, horrifically gory and violent. Which is why I want to research the effect violence in media has on its audience, but personally I think I'm the same person. I'm not a violent person, I don't kill animals, or hit people. I want to know the different view points to better understand why violence in media has gotten as bad as it is.
