Reflection 1

    In the beginning, I set my title ‘the media violence-the potential inciter of school bullying in Taiwan’ too widely. The media has many representative means such as TV, movies, music, books and the Internet. It is difficult to discuss so many media tools aptly at the same time, so afterwards I decide to narrow down my issue into the televised news violence.
    However, there are lots of problems and confusion I need to tackle with and clear. Even if I change my title, the primary problem still results from my issue. In my annotation 1, I suggest that the televised violence makes children imitate the heroine violence and possibly leads to school bullying because of the excess of the televised violence exposure to the children with the lack of parental supervision. I also emphasize the importance of parents on the precaution of the youth aggressiveness. But in my annotation 2, I take the effect of the popular Taiwan’s violent movie Monga on the school bullying for example to aim to draw out the problem of our televised news that it which reports the violence effect from a movie actually has its violence effect too. From that inference, it seems that the televised news should take the responsibility of the risks of school bullying. And that is the point where the problem and the confusion emerge.
    With peers’ comments and teacher’s suggestions, I find that I am confused which is responsible for school bullying from the televised violence. Is it only the televised news’ problem or other TV programs are also involved in this violence effect? Should the parents also have responsibilities for that? Or both of them need to think about the suitable ways of preventing school bullying? Besides, the occurrence of school bullying is not solely attributed to the televised violence; it consists of many complicated factors. The problem of the school bullying has existed for a long time, and why I choose the televised news for the inciter of the school bullying? Is it the primary cause of school bullying?
    I know that it is impossible to clear my mind with the problems and the confusion completely, but I try to refigure out my thesis and argument as hard as I can. I still want to explore the relation between the televised news violence and the school bullying because the appearance of the issue of school bullying owes to the televised news expansive broadcasts which arise the public attention. Due to the televised news, we appeal for and promote the anti-bullying activities. Nevertheless, we seem to ignore the problem of our televised news that often likes to present and even exaggerate the violent scenes to the viewers for their rating or of the viewers, ourselves. I think that the possibilities of school bullying may lessen with not only the control of the televised news violence but also our audience’s efforts of improving the news literacy. Thus, I will write and revise my paper with my present idea later.
