Firstly, let’s start by watching this interview.
Then we’ll move on by reading this article from AlJazeera.com.
Now, after reading the articles, here are a few questions for your prompt of the day concerning not only violence, but the coverage of violence in the media.
- Do you agree that the media sensationalizes violence because it thinks violence is more interesting for the viewers? Why?
- When you fight back, be it injustice or a bully, do you think resorting to violent methods is a good idea? Or do you believe in a nonviolent way to fight back, like the famous ahimsa (nonviolent) movement that was started by Mahatma Gandhi?
