media impact

I believe a good research project for looking into how big the medias impact is on us, would be to see if kids who watch violent programs growing up, do they tend to live more violent lives, or is it just in the person to be violent. The methodology that I would use, would most likely be the social learning theory. I would test my hypothesis by having a big group of children and have some watch only violent programs, another group who watches no violent programs and then a group who watches both. This would show me if people do become more violent due to the media. I think that my results would show that it makes  little to no difference, and that it come more from how the parents act then things they watch.
