Hey World! :o) I'm Anna and I'm a sophomore at Ohio University.

• /Objective:/* We propose to do a you tube project on video game

violence. We are going to compare the amount of delinquent acts to the amount of violence in video games that people play. We are trying to see if there is a correlation between the two.

• /Interests:/* We are interested in finding out if there is a

correlation between violent acts and violence in video games. We want to find out if there are any social norms for people who play video games. Violent video games are portrayed to the public as being corruptive to the teen population. Also we are interested in seeing how people who play non violent video games act.

• /Background Reading: /*For background reading we are planning to look

up deviance and crime in the sociology book. We are also going to look up violence and see if it says anything about video games. There are always shows on T.V. that talk about video game violence and we are going to look those up and see what they say about it. Also, we are going to look up any studies that have been done. We will use articles and other sociology books to help us.

• /General Plan: /*Our plan is to use approximately 5-10 violent and

nonviolent video games. We are going to look up you tube videos about violent video games and show that as part of our video. Also, we are going to make a video of different people playing video games and show their actions after or during the video game. We are going associate some humor into the video just to capture the attention of the audience. The video will be humorous and at the same time educational.
