Media Violence Against Women In the United States, as in most of the world, people are bombarded with information on a daily basis. Most of the information he has seen or heard is the direct result of someone addressing the information to the masses. Whether it's a company that would like us to buy its product, or a newspaper that would like us to believe a certain "fact" that it is reporting, someone has decided how the information will be presented. This notion brings me to the question of how our society perpetuates violence against women through the use of media and television shows. I would argue that because we are socialized to believe certain ideas on a daily basis, this same process contributes to violence directed against women. This includes the concept that impressionable young men may remain unaware of the impact of this violence due to the omission of certain facts from news articles. It is also important to see how the media contributes to how abused women view their role in “creating” this violence. Furthermore, I would argue that this media creates a certain type of apathy in our society that has led many people to blame the victim, or simply turn their heads and consider domestic violence a “family” problem, thus completely ignoring the legal implications. . This area must be understood to determine how the distortion of ideas that are expressed, through the use of television and magazines, is directly related to the social values ​​represented. The first issue I would like to explore is how we as a society encourage violence against women. Images flow into our homes every day through paper, from our own lives. Only then can we decide whether these representations are in fact the truth, or just more rhetoric fed to us from the patriarchal point of view of modern media.
