Framing Practice Topics... In what way does film violence affect human behaviour?

With the media industry having a strong position in influencing and manipulating an audiences' thoughts and opinions, the topic of how film and video game violence affects/influences it's audience is still an on going debate in foreground of the media. With an increase in violence over the years from street crimes to high school shootings, i feel that this is a very interesting subject to research into with a lot of points for and against the idea, making a great topic to debate. I feel the subject is even more of an issue as we develop 3D technology further, the violence in the film world will become even more realistic, possibly increasing this problem even further.
