    No and Yes:

    No beacuse I feel you have to give young people a lot more credit with being to understand violence within the context it is shown. Where it's satirical or deliberately OTT than it is plain patronising to say that they can't understand the difference and that it makes them violent.

    However, I feel that one of the reasons that youth violence is so prevalant in Western societies- especially (forgive the generalisation) in America- is because of the culture of violence that is a lot more than in video games and films. With a foreign policy of strinking back at people who hurt us, how can you blame entertainment for creating a social problem?
