Artist’s Statement
My audience is for the parents that are worried about the aggressive behavior that their children have developed and are blaming it on violent video games. The reason for why I picked this genre is because it is a very talked about situation that has a lot of people developing their own theories without any real evidence to support their claim. Parents can get really overprotective sometimes and will make certain assumptions without having any concrete evidence. I mainly targeted parents as my audience because I want them to be able to be more informed when it comes to this topic. Parents are very interested in research and finding results that are accurate and with the research I did I believe I would be able to persuade the parents that are convinced that there is a connection. Multiple studies have been made over the years and they all come back having the exact same conclusion, this shows the accuracy of the research that has been done. I feel like with everything that I gathered it turned out really well and I hope with the information that I found I would be able to help parents understand that there is no connection between violent video games and teen aggression.
