- 201: Hate In Our Society
- ... go so deep in talking about hate as Sullivan does in his article. Sullivan gives various examples of hate crimes. He says that he wonders, again and again, of how the transformation from hate to violence occurs. "I am still drawn, again and again, to the flash of ignition, the moment when fear and loathing became hate, the instant of transformation."(1) He states that there is no way to define ... victims. Therefore his hate could have begun as the result of this harassment of his fellows. “They were victims of hate before they were purveyors of hate” (5).

- 204: Societies Scapegoat
- ... the rise involving children, people begin to look for a cause. Society, when looking for a scapegoat, becomes worse than a blood thirsty lynch mob at a witch trial. Usually the most obvious source of violence within a home is the television. However, in most cases it is not the true cause. With the TV in the forefront of virtually every home in the civilized world, it's no wonder that it's the easiest target for criticism.

The TV many times is identified as the cause of aggressive acts to avoid dealing with other underlying issues. Society today has an entire array of different afflictions that plague us from day to day. The television is of very little significance alongside the landfill of troubles that influence children today.

(It's not going to happen.) TV is not the reason that ...
