Pros And Cons Of Hi Mindy
Hi Mindy, great post. I think that media has its pro and cons because some of the students that have committed school shooting declared that they were inspired by other similar events like Columbine High School massacre. Some of those documentaries gave them the idea of how organize the attacks. I think that parents as well as educators have to be aware of the students' emotional health as well as their behavior during class and at

    Since they are too preoccupied with ratings and statistics they cannot accurately address the cause. It is crucial to see how the media is incorrect in its assumptions. Once an individual comes to the conclusion that school shooters are not exclusively autistic, ostracized individuals, but rather normal everyday people that feel left out or want their demands to be taken seriously, it is reasonable to assume that school shootings have the possibility to occur a lot more frequently. This is because the number of potential shooters would be much greater if any normal individual could be considered a potential shooter. The causes that the media attributes to school shootings are inadequate because they assume only a very small population of people have the potential to commit school shootings. The false sense of security that the media gives the viewer is very misleading and should be…

    Arming Teachers: Increasing Potential Harm On April 20th, 1999, two high school seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot and killed thirteen innocent students at Columbine High School after a bomb they set earlier that day failed to detonate. This tragic event inspired many to make changes in school systems around the country, yet since Columbine, there have been more and more school shootings, all leading up to the recent Parkland shooting in which seventeen people were killed. Michael Roberts, an author at Westword wrote, “The Parkland incident was at least the 208th school shooting to take place in Columbine's wake.”…

    “In a country that doesn’t discriminate between fame and infamy, the latter presents itself more achievable” - Lionel Shriver. “April 20, 1999 - At approximately 11:19 am, two students, Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris, 18, carrying guns and bombs, open fire inside Columbine High School, killing 13 and wounding 23 others before killing themselves,” (CNN). Due to the lack of mental health understanding, parental neglect, and lack of gun regulation in 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris did not get the mental help they needed. They ended up killing their fellow peers, and one teacher. Though these problems have gotten better, they still happen today.…

    In the aftermath of the Columbine school shootings, parents were eager to find someone or something to take the blame for the tragedy. We as Americans are a culture that has to be able to control the outcome of our everyday lives. When something happens that catches us off guard, we get frightened and jump to conclusions. With no closure in sight from the columbine shootings, parents across the country wanted answers. Instead of evaluating their own parenting, people began to say that video games, movie and television were the problem. The idea was that by eliminating the violence on TV and that will stop kids from being violent. The news media, fearing for its ratings took this idea and ran with it doing in depth stories and all types of special reports.…

    Although a sociological perspective merits a great amount of insight into the subject of mass school shootings, other disciplines (such as: criminology, psychology, etc.) must be addressed to comprehend and provide a more critical analysis on every aspect of these occurrences. I will also suggest that in the future, micro and macro analytical processes must be conjoined in order to grasp a broader understanding of this phenomenon. In other words, methods such as individual mental illness (micro), and community influences (macro), must be looked at together in order to gain a greater understanding of these…

    I do think there are attempts to reduce school shootings through improved technologies and making administration more available to students. In my opinion, by having students comfortable with the administration and school resource officers will create a safer environment for schools. Students are usually the first ones to be aware about a possible school shooting before teachers or principals. When students feel comfortable going to an advisor and know that their voice will not be ignored then the school will become safer. Administrators and teachers should recognize the signs of students who want to tell them information but look reluctant, this is where most of the training needs to be focused. I think that technology for increased security…

    On the noon of April 20th, 1999 America’s deadliest school shooting had just ended with the suicide of its two gunmen. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had just murdered twelve students, one teacher, and injured twenty-one since they began their shooting spree forty minutes earlier in the city of Littleton, Colorado. The media coverage of the Columbine High School massacre made this event have a tremendous impact on the people of the United States, inducing fear of all outcasts in schools, and creating an insatiable thirst for answers. Soon, there was a large amount of misinformation, but it took years before people knew why it happened. The events leading to the Columbine High School massacre have become important clues to look for in order to…

    There has been more than one mass shooting a day in the United States since the start of 2015. A majority of these shootings have occurred at schools. I never thought that my small school in rural South Dakota would become part of this statistic but on September 30th of this year it did. Though the media tends to pay close attention to the shooters, they seem to forget about how this violence affects us, the youth, and the schools that we attend. Sure, I had seen plenty of documentaries on school shootings, but they all seemed like distant realities. The actuality of the situation was far worse. My principal was shot, some people fainted and others even went through a series of panic attacks. The school counselors’ offices were filled to the…

    Since 1995, more than thirty students and teachers have been killed and approximately one hundred have been wounded as a result of shootings at American schools. States throughout the nation, from California to Pennsylvania, have been affected by school violence. Several lawmakers began calling for legislation to allow teachers to be to carry guns for protection. Year after year faculty has begun arguing for the right for them to carry concealed weapons while on campus. People who did not agree to allow guns in schools and on campuses feared it would lead to more chaos and tragedy. Students, peers, and teachers expect schools to provide a safe and secure environment for learning, but the question is are they really safe? Why have there been so many shootings involved in a school environment? Should teachers be allowed to carry concealed weapons? These are the questions people ask everyday. I believe teachers should be able to carry concealed weapons only for protection of them and the students.…

    School shootings are terrifying to think about, but there are ways to help prevent the massacres from ever happening again. The first known school shooting was at the Texas Tower at the University of Texas in 1966 where Charles Whitman shot and killed 16 people while injuring 31 others. Who would have known since that date that we would have more then 200 deaths on school campuses? The most storied shooting in the 90’s was probably the Columbine massacre where on April 20, 1999 Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 32 students and faculty before turning the guns on themselves. The horror scene from the day will always be remembered in many lives and will continue over the years. There were many other horrible shootings over the years as well almost too many to count but here lately the latest mascaras that have happened have been on college campuses at Virginia Tech University where 33 lives were lost and Northern Illinois where 5 lives were lost. After all these years and all the lives lost it’s time that the school massacres with many lives lost come to an end.…

Recent school shootings have set feared in many parents about their children's safety in our schools. Since last year number of school shootings by students have occurred regularly.

Should we blame the parents, teachers, schools or our government?…

    I believe that the media definitely plays a major factor in the criminal justice system in today’s society. Several years ago the effect may have not been a strong as it has now. This could be due to the growth in technology. We currently live in a society where we are surrounded by all types of media. It can be the news, social network, games, movies, music, etc., and just as our textbook say exposure to media content is found everywhere. Within these media we sure hear and see many thing which involves crimes. We see acts of violence in movies, music and games. These thing can definitely have a potential of negatively influencing the youth. However, not only can this affect the youth but it affects the criminal justice system. It is no doubt…
