Responding to Daily Mail article - Violent Video Games

1)The news articles taps into the concept of the hypodermic needle theory through the fact that the single media text has injected an idea into a mass audience (all of the people who read the article).

This article gives evidence that violent video games can brainwash the person playing in being a more violent person.Its of 127 students in Italy play  GTA IV and then take a test of normal questions of what they would do in real life situations.All their answers were violent based or towards cheating.

My opinion is that video games are not responsible for children bad behavior. Its up to the child's up bringing and how they have being treated.Video games is a way of  releasing stress for teenagers.Maybe their lives are stressful and hard and they need a way out.in my opinion i believe that video games are a good thing for teenagers and also adults.

2)This feature relates to the two-step flow model because an audience,which is the opinion follower.Is influenced by the opinion leader someone they admire or in higher authority.E.g BBC News reporter.
