Summary: Weinstein, Tarantino and the standoff over movie violence
Harvey Einstein went on public television (CNN) and talked about the movies he made. He spoke of how sincere and passionate he was about the movies he made. Hollywood studio heads and producers shared his concerns on how violence effects the movie industry. But they didn’t like to talk about it, because the movie industry has a code of silence. With Weinstein’s comments on public television he broke the long standing code of silence with Hollywood. About how he felt about the relationship between pretend violence and real violence. Reflecting the fact that no one really understood the question that the media had over violence and the relationship with actual violence. The entertainment industry wouldn’t have kept ramping up the violence if the public didn’t like it or respond to it. His opinion on violence in the entertainment industry wasn’t harmful.
Columbine: Whose Fault is it?
 The Author writing this story is a musician talking about how people blame the tones of some music, for  the reason violence occurs, but he also talks about how their was violence in the world before music.  He blames it on how children are raised and the environment around them. People just use music as an excuse, to cover up for all the other things in the world that could cause violence. Like the way their raised and the world we live in now. Everyone always wants to make up an excuse to cover up the possible real reasons why there is so much violence in the world. People picked on his song called the lunch box, because they thought it was about guns, but it really wasn’t. You can’t blame what happened in Columbine from entertainment.  People are just looking to find a reason, to explain why there is so much violence. Whether, its movies, music, videos, or television. He said the world is coming to an end and we have been gradually working our way there.
