Thesis:
I will show that the influence of Television in our society does not directly affect our behavior and the rise in violence, but it does affects those who choose to watch it and what they choose to watch.

Supporting details:

  1. The people who allowed access to television in their households; overexposure
  2. The original stars on TV in the 1960's were modest and humble.
  3. Violence, crime, war started way before the invention of television.
  4. The demographics were completely different back then.
  5. Television opened up a different world to people, instead of drilling violence into their minds.

  1. Shannon, your thesis needs to be clearer. Take out the I will show part and make a claim about what you set out to prove, such as "Television affects those who choose to watch it and what they choose to watch." You should also mention how it affects them (I am guessing you will say negatively)
