Genetics, Poverty, Media

I think that all three of these are factors of crime and violence. Not one can do it on it's own. They all work together to destroy society as a whole. I believe that if the media was controlled than the crime rate will drop...not drastically but enough. I also think poverty is a problem in today's society. Yes genetics is a part of it but not all of it. Most of it comes from what kids and teenagers see and grow up knowing not whats passed down in their body. If their parents were better role models maybe it would teach their kids to be better people. The only problem in trying to change all of this is that no one wants to put forth the effort. People in poverty stay in poverty because that is what is "expected" of them because of a stereotype put on them at some point. It is hard to just stop someone from being what their family is as shown in genetics. Also we personally can't control the media the way we want to so its more complicated than it seems. I think that the people who handle all of this should look further into it and try to make some changes because if they don't try to help these criminals than no one will.
