Decent Essays

Problem

The interdisciplinary problem I am investigating is Overexposure violence in our entertainment is creating a psychological desensitization in people. The research that will be completed in this study will reflect how violence negatively impact human behavior. The research will also show the impact of long term exposure and how that will impact behavioral patterns Over exposure to violence and the psychological impacts will fall across many disciplines due to the nature of how it impacts our society on an individual and corporate level. It is important to solve this issue because the very nature of this overexposure can desensitize humans. The desensitization can cause people to have a stunted ability to place value on human life and have a greater capacity to act violently in society.
