In “Watch and Learn,” Gregg Easterbrook argues that there is a correlation between on-screen violence and violence in real life. How does he make this argument (what is his evidence and how does he explain it)? Do you agree with his argument? Why or why not? Write an essay in which you explain the extent to which you agree or disagree with Easterbrook’s position, drawing upon evidence from the article and from personal experience and observation. Be sure to explore the significance or implication of Easterbrook’s argument.
