STAND BY ME

INVENTION (Discovery)

The creator of this video Had to first come of with the idea. Then he had to come up with the money for the equipment and travel expenses for all the trips he would have to take. He also had to find the talented street performers.

DISPOSITION (Arrangement)

He starts the video off in one area with one street performer and one instrument then, goes around the world to other states and countries using multiple performers and instruments.

STYLE

He chooses a very old classical song that most people would know or remember to display his message.

MEMORY (Knowledge)

Even though each musician had a different instrument or different way of singing the song, they all still song the same lyrics with the same message.

DELIVERY
The creator chose to deliver this message through song. Obviously an oral message.


IMAGE

This image stands out to me because is a gathering of people. They are all just sitting around each other PEACEFULLY playing their instruments and singing together. I believe that people coming together like this argues against violence.

MEDIA VIOLENCE?

According to Gerard Jones, violent media can have positive effects on young people because, "children need violent entertainment order to explore the inescapable feelings that they've been taught to deny." Jones also believes that violent media has a strong influence on children because, "it has helped inspire some people to real-life violence." Jones makes some good points for example, "Rage can be an energizing emotion." However, Jones also has cons such as his refutation. in his refutation he says, "I'm not going to argue that violent entertainment is harmless." Then immediately goes back to his argument by saying, "it's helped hundreds of people for every one its hurt." All in all, I agree with Jones argument but, I also believe that he did not present his argument or make it as convincing as he should have. 

In one recent NEWS event, a 19-year-old shot up the school and killed 17 innocent people because he got suspended. I don't think violent media caused his actions but lack of home discipline and home training. I think he knew what he wanted to do before he even did it.
