Lord of the Flies compared to the outside world

Are there examples of Man's essential illness in our every day lives? Can you turn on the TV or put on a movie and witness Human beings' acting violent? Does the gaming industries' violent games affect us as an individual to the point of us cracking? Do we act like our fictional characters?

Quoting William Rupert, "Playing Grand Theft Auto IV is a great example of Man acting violent." In the game you run around the streets with the option to storm a hospital and shoot down everyone inside. You can also input codes that allow you to have better weapons, vehicles, and a helicopter that flies you around town. You can beat people up with a bat, blow up a cop car with a bazooka, or meet up with your fellow mob members. The point is can playing this game day in and day out affect you as an individual to the point of you snapping? If a kid has no education and just lives off playing this game and others like it will it make him/her go down the street and kill someone?

If gaming doesn't do the trick then why don't you just put on a fun action packed movie. We leave our reality and join in the fictional tales of our favorite films. We could be a wizard thinking we can open locked doors with our fake wands, or a gangster thinking our hands are real guns. Does watching these movies affect us like the violent games?

TV can also produce violent shows. Reality TV, Cop shows, and action packed shows illustrate how Humans can snap or go crazy.

There are many examples of Human beings acting violent, be it TV, Grand Theft Auto IV, or a classic DVD movie, you can find multiple examples in your everyday lives.
