RE-VO "Worldview" -- What effect does the propagation of media violence and sexuality have on listeners of average or below average intelligence? Bandura, the NIMH, and countless others posited that children and young people do learn from television and videos, and model the behaviours that they see there. Furthermore, since all-pervasive environments are not detectable, viewers become immersed in consumerist media and advertising, and are thus, unable to form or are disinterested in forming a "worldview," a big picture on political ideas and world events. The effect of mass-media, in a short 60 years, has been devastating. After the Vietnam War brought atrocities and violence into people's living rooms in the 1960s, urban violence in America almost doubled (per capita) in the 1970s. Today, 1/3 of male college students surveyed revealed that they would rape women, if they felt that they could get away with it. In the past few decades, while parents were using television as virtual baby-sitters, something went horribly wrong in the ethical foundations of America. But even worse, as the educated-few complain about the most corrupt government in US history, we witness the lowest voter turn-outs yet.... politics and government is a very boring realm to today's youth, as compared with the political preoccupation of hippies 40 years ago. Today's media consumer would much rather dwell on the latest model of IPod or BlackBerry, and hang out at Starbucks or the Gap, than listen to a newscast. Only three percent of Americans read books...... As the song goes: Don't you have a Worldview? What the fuck is wrong with you?
