How Television effects a society.
I propose to see the effects of television on a society. I will be studying two types of society, one based on television exposure and one that has not been exposed to television. A westernized community vs. an Amish community. I will test for differences mainly in behavioral patterns. Using random sampling from each individual group. I will look at the history to current files of violence in each society and use that as a control. Then expose the westernized society to violent television programming during a period of two years and see with the exposure if violence in that society has increased or decreased or stayed the same. I predict that with violent television exposure there will be a slight increase in violent behavior with in the westernized society versus the Amish society because of the individual difference theory.

I agree in that there will only be a slight increase in violence for the westernized society, especially after just a few years of exposure to media violence. Really cool topic :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with pjoannmedia's comment. our westernized society will surely have a significant amount of impact on how television affects our society. i'm interested in comparing your results to those of a different society.
