Catharsis Theory- This theory i tend to agree with. the reason for that is because yes people can become very frustrated through out the day just by the little things that seem to continue to build up until it's to much. sometimes if the person can just watch tv or play games that are considered violent they get to take out all their anger and energy on the game or the movie, and they no longer have the frustration that they did before. it gives them time to take their mind off of things and to just rest and regenerate so they can be happier with their family instead of being ill with them.
Aggressive Cues Theory- Disagree, one of the main reasons i disagree with this is when it says spanking a kid is obviously aggressive and VIOLENT act. well just think about how many of us got a spanking as a kid. think about how those spankings kept us from doing bad things that would get us in trouble. some of those spankings actually keep kids from doing aggressive acts. to me they make it seem like the parent is just straight out beating the kid. but all it says is a spanking. for some kids just saying no and putting them in a corner doesn't always work. sometimes they need to get a spanking to make them really under stand "okay mama keeps spanking me for this so that must mean i'm not supposed to do it and its bad". i know that's how it works for my brother, you cant get something through his head without spanking him for doing something wrong.
Observational Learning Theory- I disagree with this theory because alot of times when watching shows like that people become more aware of what to look out for if something in those circumstances happens. and i also disagree with the what would you do if someone jumps out infront of you would you do something aggressive? those things usually come naturally by instinct and reflexes to defend yourself. do they just want us to be helpless and not be able to automatically defend ourselves?
Reinforcement Theory- i agree with this theory because it does seem to happen so often. when looking at cases or watching shows on crimes it generally is the person you would least expect to be the one who committed the crime. and then you have this guys who are all big and tough and then sometimes you can really see their soft side, not all of them go with it but you do see it. and i also agree that the way we were brought up and where we were brought up plays an important factor. look at basically every other study scientist do,. majority of the time the results are based on our background, culture, and genetic makeup.
Cultivation Theory- i disagree with this theory because i don't think that the violence or aggression on tv is a "fantasy world" it shows you reality and what can really happen out there. you become informed and more alert of the dangers that could come to you. therefore it could save someones life if the recognize something out of the normal. when i was just a little girl like 3 my mom would get me to watch the news and see how people were kidnapped and killed or such things. i don't think my mother was wrong for that, because she did that whenever we went to a store every 30 minutes or so i would tap her arm or something to show her that i was still there and noone had taken me. it has made me more aware of the dangers that could happen to me and has made me more careful.
