I really liked our discussion in class today about media violence. I was especially interested in the finding on relational aggression and that being exposed to a lot of relational aggression can cause us to be more relationally aggressive.  It made me think about the kind of shows I watch and how they could be affecting me.  I do not enjoy watching violent movies or shows, so I knew that was probably not affecting me much.  However, I realized that most of the shows that I do watch have a lot of relational aggression in them.  I now want to be more conscious of what I watch. I want to try to cut down the amount of relational aggressive shows that I watch and see if it makes a difference.

  1. I liked learning about relational aggression too. I think the media does contain a lot of relational aggression but we don't notice it as much as physical acts of aggression or violence. But I do think it can still be very harmful and something to be conscious of and watch out for as well!
