GTA while demonstrating violant behaver in no way instructs the users that thay shood shoot their neighbor and take their car. It merley shows examples of other people doing so.
And DJ no reasearch or charts is needed to prove that fifty is idolized, is a horrable roll model, and that roll models are often imitated.
That is the origal point of my topic.
And actually, research DOES need to say that. How do you think it gets established that people immitate idols anyway? Research!
So, tell us, how did you conclude, outside of speculation, that fifty cents has lead to an increase in violent behavior or more drug abuse or any such thing? You will have to provide some evidence for this claim.
