Dave. Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill |
| |
A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and
Video Game Violence. Authors Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano
offer incontrovertible evidence, much of it based on recent major
scientific studies and empirical research, that movies, TV, and video
games are not just conditioning children to be violent--and unaware
of the consequences of that violence--but are teaching the very mechanics
of killing. Their book is a much-needed call to action for every parent,
teacher, and citizen to help our children and stop the wave of killing
and violence gripping America's youth. And, most important, it is
a blueprint for us all on how that can be achieved. |
