Violence is very popular in games such as Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, and Killer Instinct. These games may influence a person's behaviour, and may be addictive. The computer is considered an aid for the modern, working person. Yet many people use this ingenious machine to play gory and violent games. I play video games as a release at the end of the day, a form of escape.
Society is desensitized when it comes to violence.
Violent shows are not just made for young people. They are made for people of all ages. All of the objects represented in photographs on this page are in the Glenbow Museum collection.
