In class the book we have been reading is called a "Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess. This book is very interesting so far; there are different elements in the book that makes the reader become awed. The main characters in the book are Alex (narrator), Dim, Pete,and Georgie are all memebers of Alex's gang and their his "droogs". The gang do a lot of violent excursions in the book. The guys was drinking, robbing, raping, and stealing cars. Moreover the youth in the book get away with a lot violence that they committ.
The actions from the the guys in the book correspond with one of the agree and disagree statements from class which was " Society is the blame for youth violence". I feel as though society is the balme for youth violence. There are ways that the violence one the streets can be prevented. There should be more police out one the streets day and night time. In the book the gang can clearly get away with anything. Also the teens be at the bar with adults; thats not normal in the society that I live in there is a certain age limit when one can enter the bar. Also the old guy that they had beaten up knew that the youth was taking over society and it was getting to the point that the youth was untouchable. The only way that the violence can be decreased if society stands up to the youth, and set boundaries within the teens of the community.

There are different perspective of the word society. I believe they society as a whole plays a role in shaping youth behavior, but is not totally responsible. Parents and the environment that youth grow up in I believe also plays a huge role in how they turn out. It all depends on individual situations.
ReplyDeleteI would say that usually its about half and half. Children make actions on what the media tells them but also on how they are treated by their parents. I like what you have said though because i see younger generations who are in high school and they are completely different than how we are, well mostly. The funny thing about that is they are only a few years behind.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! I believe society is to blame as well! I mean not only video games, but violence just seems to be everywhere. It just seems ignorant not to believe so. Great point!
