The movie we watched in class was interesting and it got me to think a lot about the violence we see in movies and at school. I never really notice that many if not all the major school shooting were committed by men. I knew about that but I never thought about the how odd or strange it was the most of them where males. I was looking more at psychological makeup rather than their gender. I also feel that is what the press focusing on to: where the bullied at school or what was their home life like. They play how the boys are nurtured rather than their nature. Which leads me to assume that people don’t play into the claims that boys are more violate.
However that isn’t support by saying like “boys will be boys”. When litter kids are rough housing or playing with pretend guns a lot of people accept it. Then we are playing into the stereotypes about how boy are supposedly more violent.
I just think there are so many other factors that play into to violent cases that deal with child shooting or even adults killing. I just think it is hard to incorporate the gender factor into these because you have to look at other aspect of the situation.
