Topic Area: Children and the media
Chosen Title: After playing violent video games, do children attempt to copy what they see?
I am analysing whether violent video games affect childeren's behaviour due to the effects model. I will textually analysing specific violent games such as Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt and The Punisher. I will compare these to see if the style and respresentation of each game affects whether it is more likely to affect children. I will use certain websites which link to these games and to the controversy surrounding the effects debate. I will also use specific books e.g. Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents: Theory, Research, and Public Policy.

hi daryl, we will need to play about a bit with your title as with this one you will end up trying to 'prove' the un-provable and could end up going round in circles. a better title might be; 'children and video games: what are the issues?'. that way you can discuss the range of opinions (kids, parnets, 'experts', media theorists etc, without having to prove whether they do or don't actually affect them. the effects debate will still be of great relevance to your study though. lets discuss this on monday, ms blackborow
daryl, good start to your blog, now have a go at labels, video and links, cheers, ms b
