RKO! You’re pumped up after seeing WWE and you’d wanna be just like the fighters. What are you thinking when you’ve just seen violence going on? Violence is included in many things like video games, movies, wrestling or fighting shows, even in fights around you. There’s different types of violence though, violence can occur physically and mentally.
While speaking with Hadi Hassan about what he would do if he was in a fight, he responded, “I’ll fight back only if the person throws the first punch.” I also asked him what he’d do if any of his friends were involved in violence and he responded “I’ll try to break up whatever they’re fighting about and if they don’t, I’ll report it to an adult in the school.”
What about WWE or Call Of Duty? While watching or playing them, you’re also seeing violence going on. That’s what I spoke to Mohamed Beydoun about. He responded,”All the things they do are crazy and sick at the same time. The best part is the fighting and killing and once you’ve seen it you’ll know what I mean.”
The last person i spoke with was Mourtaja Alkhalidi and i talked to him about how he feels after playing a sport containing violence. A lot of sports contain violence. Basketball, Football, Baseball, Soccer and much more. Mourtaja responded with, “Sports need violence to keep the game entertaining but sometimes it could go too far. “If a player gets injured that can be bad for his career and fans but if two players fight it could be entertaining.” Mourtaja does have a point and I think a lot of people would agree with him.
All this talking about violence is just me trying to make a point. What do you think when it comes to it?
