Discussion Summary (about violence in movies and video games):

During the lecture, I learned that Romans were very desensitized to violence and had a blast watching such gruesome acts for entertainment, and based on that, I can understand that parents are worried their kids will fall a victim to it and also be desensitized to it. It makes total sense why they would think that. When it comes to the question of if we could ever be desensitized to it and go back to what they did in ancient Rome, the answer is simply no. I think that there isn't a way for us to go backward because of how we are raised. We are raised to understand what is right and what is wrong, that alone gives us a clear understanding that watching people get slaughtered by animals or vice versa will never happen. We know that it was inappropriate of them to do that in the past.
