1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence?
Firstly, I agree that social media has an affect on peoples violence and anti-social behavior this is due to the fact due to recent stats people who play video games are a lot more violent in compared to the people that did not.
2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behavior from social media and the internet? Give examples.
Social learning theory is Albert Bandura’s social learning theory came from an influential psychology study involving a bobo doll and children’s behavior after observing violent acts. And after the act of watching the violence the kids then attacked the bobo doll.
3) Research five examples of moral panic from the last 50 years. To what extent was the media responsible for these moral panics? Was the concern in society justified? How have things changed as a result of these moral panics?

All of these are terrorist attacks and recent which was not justified why they did it an since then i think some country's came together to help each other for example the pray for Paris
4) Read this introduction to an academic paper on technopanics. What examples are given of techno panics that create fear in society?
Several examples of fear appeal arguments will be offered with a particular focus on online child safety, digital privacy, and cyber security.
5) How does the author suggest that technopanics should be addressed - rather than through government regulation?
It says in the article If steps must be taken to address these concerns, education- and empowerment-based solutions represent superior approaches to dealing with them compared to a precautionary principle approach, which would limit beneficial learning opportunities and retard technological progress.
6) Do you think the internet should be regulated? Should the government try and control what we can access online?
Personally no as i think everyone is allowed to their own freedom and should feel protected and have their own privacy. But there is some sick people in the world so some things should be make sure that no one can view it.
7) Apply Gerbner's cultivation theory to new and digital media. Is the internet creating a fearful population? Are we becoming desensitised to online threats, trolling and abuse?
I agree with this as people on the internet say a lot of horrible things but latly as life goes on people start to get over them and not care as much as it is all been said before. But to go against this is that some people take their lives because of cyber bullying.
8) Is heavy internet use something we should be worried about in society? How would you define 'heavy internet use'?
Heavy internet use would be defined by spending days apon days sat at home only using social media which is unhealthy for a person as because they dont leave their house to do physical activity and so on which would lead to obesity.
