Assassination
Generation (2016) David Grossman
Preachy,
pretentious, self indulgent and probably right….
Probably
need an antidepressant before and / or after reading this.
The
premise is that our media culture of movies and video games predisposes our
youth to violence. Makes perfect
sense. How can you spend day after day
exercising virtual depravity without it affecting you mind and soul.
The
solution is not so easy. Shouldn’t parents
control the media, books, movies, TV, video games that their children consume? Sure.
Unfortunately, they don’t have access to their own children all day
every day and most eventually cave in.
So, is the answer mass governmental control of this material?
I
don’t know. Read it and decide for
yourself - take a Prozac first – its pretty depressing
stuff.
