I think you can even take it one step further and say that violence is celebrated more often. The televising of it is also more prominent. Just the footage of the incident in Mumbai and the photograph of that one terrorist has been splashed all over the news. Great quote.

It's important to remember that while the current level of violence is unacceptable, "Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised."

Also, chase/fight scenes ala James Bond are quite different from gratuitious sadistic violence eg Saw (which I refuse to watch!) For me personally I don't think watching movies that contain violence has any major impact on me in the real world (eg, I don't condone violence any more than I normally would), however it is important to be aware of the amount we are taking in as you suggest.

THe families I have worked with in the past through the court system come and go like they are heading to the grocery store. The children are abuse, taken out of their homes, go to foster care only to be moved from home to home because of disruption. But what do we expect, their life is a book of disruptions. Their parents were most likely abuse, so they don't know any different and do the same. It's a cycle of terror and the only way to stop it is to try to work with each other and educate everyone. I hope that being aware and in tune is the first step. So educating is soo key. Hey, that's what is happening here at Raised Path..sharing and educating. never give up on people, everyone needs everyone. even joe blow on the street. totally true.
