PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Lt. Col. Dave Grossman - Key Note Speaker
Initially, we will examine the magnitude of violent crimes in
the US and around the world, the factors that all school killers had in common,
and the role of media violence as a new factor contributing to the phenomenon.
Then we will address powerful new data demonstrating the
actual impact of media violence upon the brain
(Indiana University Brain Scan Study) and a powerful new study
demonstrating a significant reduction in violence and bullying through media
reduction (the Stanford SMART Curriculum). Finally we will address the role of
violent visual imagery (in TV, movies and video games) in causing the current
"virus of violence" in families, and in developed nations around the
world.
