What is the cause of School Shooting in our Society?
What is the cause of all these? Where did they get those guns? These are just some question that are circling my mind every time I hear a story in the news about kids involving in a shootout in school. We know that kids and teens today are being expose to a violent form of mass media. Media like violent movies, TV news, newspaper, TV shows, and the internet. Could this be the reason why there have been report of mass shooting in school? Maybe? Or maybe not? For what I think, there could be more, more powerful than media which could affect the mind of the young ones to do such murderous acts. And this "thing" that could affect their mind so greatly is
" As we now, conformity is affected by social influences, and social influences is define as the way our culture had teaches us to believe in certain things, feel certain ways, and act with the accordance with these beliefs and feelings. They were also reported that they were practicing "Goth culture" however, people who are Goths said that "they were not practicing true Goths. Twenty-four people were injured and thirteen people died. I could not blame media for everything that is happening around us especially to the young ones because God gave us the wisdom to know what's right and wrong. Conformity is defined as changing behavior as a result of real or imagined group pressure. This change of behavior is affected by social influences. Two boys were reported carrying a weapon and shooting everyone they see in school. If we see a wrong doing in the TV of course we will not do that to because we all know it is wrong, however if we see it and we are pressure by someone to do it, it is now then conformity. And as for the other shooting incidents in other school, conformity and social influences must also be the answer to the way they have acted during that time. Therefore, I believe that the behavior of the two boys was not affected by media but was affected by conformity through social influences. The place was Columbine High School. Whys is this a case of Conformity, because it was believe that the two boys were hanging out with a group called the "trench coat mafia" a group of people who dropped out in Columbine High School, these might have caused the negative behavior to the two boys who killed 13 people in their school. An example of these case is the one that happened in Colorado, April 20, 1999.
