| Sumario: | This book, authored by Heinz Buddemeier, explores the complex relationship between mass media and violence, particularly focusing on how media images influence aggressive behavior in society. Drawing on extensive research, including studies from the 1960s onwards, the book examines the impact of violent imagery on viewers, especially children, and how these images contribute to desensitization and increased aggression. The author discusses the role of media in shaping public perceptions and behaviors, while also considering other contributory factors such as poverty, substance abuse, and childhood maltreatment. The book is aimed at academics, educators, and policymakers interested in understanding and mitigating the societal impacts of media violence. It also highlights the potential of educational approaches like Waldorf pedagogy to promote a more discerning engagement with media.
