Research Paper on:
Aggressive Behavior Stimuli

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
an informal sense, one only needs to study a young child who watches violent cartoons week after week, only to see that the child is hitting more often and is  being more rebellious to his parents and other authority figures. One also only has to study how normally timid and mild people become vicious animals when among a mob of  other angry people. While the above examples are mainly anecdotal, there is proof that aggression stimuli can breed aggressive behavior. For a  long time, the movie and television industries in the United States have been targeted by parents and politicians who are concerned that the ever-increasing violence in childrens programming leads to  more aggressive traits among children. While many Hollywood executives have downplayed this connection, researchers have come up with other conclusions. In one study published in the American Psychological Societys journal  called Psychological Science, it was discovered that violent media, including video games, television and movies, helped create the groundwork for aggressive behavior and thoughts (Aggressive Behavior Linked to Exposure to  Media Violence, 2001). Study authors Craig A. Anderson and Brad J. Bushman of Iowa State University discovered that the aggression was triggered because it created a mindset in children that  made them more susceptible to aggressive cognition (Aggressive Behavior Linked to Exposure to Media Violence, 2001). Even small amounts of exposure to media violence, believed the researchers, could cause significant  increases in aggression; with repeated exposure to such violence a definite risk factor in youth violence (Aggressive Behavior Linked to Exposure to Media Violence, 2001).  Meanwhile, Robert DuRant of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has come to the same conclusion, believing that what kids are exposed to teaches them how
