Public Perception of Violence in Media

Using Airtable, I wanted to figure out the connection between violence in media and violence in real life

The survey I used aimed to contribute valuable insights into public perspectives on violence in media, shedding light on the complex interplay between media consumption habits, personal responses, and societal attitudes. I wanted to show a nuanced understanding of how individuals navigate and perceive the role of violence in the media landscape.

The results of the survey I conducted are quite surprising, though maybe not as jarring as I expected. The participants, which only ranged from 18-24, found that social media was their primary media used. While answers differed for each of the answers, the decision was agreed upon that media plays a large role in peoples perception of violence in media. Many went on to disagree on the status of the government in media consumption.

For outside research, I included a breakdown of the demographics that consume each piece of media. The data was collected by the Pew Research Center.
