Killing Screens, The: Media and the Culture of Violence*

• 1994 ----- color ----- 39 min ----- vhs
• Coming to terms with the consequences of violent representation in our culture goes far beyond the casual connection often drawn between viewing violence, and committing it. Respected communication scholar Dr. George Gerbner, shows how coming to terms with what to do about violence in the media goes far beyond questions of censorship and free speech. Addresses the psychological, political, social, and developmental impacts of growing and living within a cultural environment of pervasive, ritualized violent representation. (Restricted to use on University of Washington campuses only)
• Topics: (Adolescence, Advertising, Communications, Education, Family Life, Psychology: Social, Sociology, Television)
