Our Aims

Firstly, to tie in with the huge internet emphasis on this module, we have decided to try and bring our subject matter to the masses through using the ever-popular facebook. We have set up a group on facebook entitled "Does the internet contribute to violence being used as entertainment?"

We are simply putting questions forward in the hope to gain answers from other people. We all have different opinions on whether the internet contributes towards violence as entertainment. I personally think that it does make everything more accessible but this isnt necessarily a bad thing. It doesnt make people violent, I think this in inherent in some people's human nature. Violence as entertainment has always been prevalent throughout history so I dont think the internet is to blame for it.
These are the questions that we are asking in our facebook discussion board:
"Is this wrong? Is the internet feeding people's sadistic pleasures, or are some humans inevitably transfixed by violence anyway? Does it matter? And should we be censoring what people can upload and watch more strictly or would we end up living in a 1984 society?"
