Freedmans accusations sound strong and make se

nse when there presented to you in the format given. Moreover, minimal studies actually performed are few and lack actual participants thus creating the outcome to be weak with weak results. It’s hard to take Freedmans side because of the influence I have see with young people around me, people I hung around or know. Freedmans discusses the fact that studies are weak, for example the Lynette Friedrichs and Aletha Stein published study found that children who watched violent programs became more aggressive, which in fact the authors found that little to no effect on physical aggression, verbal aggression, aggressive fantasy, or object aggression.
