REVEAL VIEW FROM THE UNCONSCIOUS OF MEDIA VIOLENCE Submitted for course SSC 130 Essentials of Psychology October 20, 2012 Project Number: 05020500 Introduction I believe, purpose of the Media for “the Human”, but currently Media Violence increase aggressively toward young generation. In reality, no one be able to stop or prohibit Media Violence. It just like the world of media it selves has demonic possession of profit of the currency. They couldn’t survive in the depression of economy if it not included the violence, sex and money. It would not only created by the media but also supported by audience. Now I’s like to seek a statement from the text book stated: “Psychologists have sought to understand how aggression begins in childhood and how it may be prevented.”(Page 19) Now I should reveal true purpose of function for the media in the new civilization, and choose the topics below: 1. Pursuit human’s depth of consciousness that how influenced by media violence. 2. How implement spirit of the nonviolence into the world of media technology. 3. How we could prevent the victim of the media violence. Among three topics above, I would like to address that why I chose the subject of media violence, because I was born in Japan and my mother loved Hollywood movies, and my life itself had influence by America media. But my mother influenced romantic 60’s movie as of Audrey Hepburn, Gone with Wind, James Dean, or the Beatles. Her selected genre was always flesh nonviolence entity, which already decreased from Hollywood motion picture industrial. Versus to inspire the joy and enthusiasm, I would like to address three claims created media Violence which oppose to create value of media influence. Entity of media aggressive violence that how to affect human consciousness First evidence of the media violence which created serious killer by Child Play 3(1993)? Child Play 3 (1993) was Budgeted $13 Million USD, and it made gross profit for 150% in world wide. Plot stated:” Chucky, the doll possessed by a serial killer, returns for revenge against Andy, the young boy that defeated him and has since become adult.” This movie edited based on aggressive violence and Robert Thompson and Jon Venables at age of 10 years old watched Child Play 3 in England, and after, both are decided to revitalize same scenario into their life to be a protagonist of the story. They when to the shopping center and abduct innocent beautiful toddler James Bulger at age of 2. Robert and Jon had been punched, kicked, put battery into James mouth, choked his neck and colored James’s face with blue paint, then left James on the rail road. It was real atrocious incidence, but most of media report didn’t focus this incidence seriously from the view of true cause that created by media violence. Moreover, this incidence was not only for in England but also for America, because Child Play 3 made by Hollywood, but I wouldn’t grasp serious action taken by Hollywood motion picture film association. It was necessary to took prompt action to prevent same history, and set out further restriction or new regulation to avoid media violence. Also my argument of this incidence is media should report true entity of this criminal mind that media aggressive violence affects Robert and Jon’s unconscious level of ego status. Sigmund Freud (1923) stated: "Ego is attempts to mediate between id and reality, it is often obliged to cloak the unconscious commands of the id with its own preconscious rationalizations to conceal the id's conflicts with reality, to profess ... to be taking notice of reality even when the id has remained rigid and unyielding." Therefore we should realize that first of all, this incidence created not only criminal but also associated by media aggressive violence, send of all, to prevent same incidence, we should understand how media violence affected into criminal’s unconsciousness layer. Next, a serious crime occurred on May 1997 in Japan. The crime started on front of the Elementary school gate. A morning, someone put beheaded head on the school gate. Also the message note was on the mouth of beheaded head. It said: :“This is the beginning of the game... You police guys stop me if you can... I desperately want to see people die, it is a thrill for me to commit murder. A bloody judgment is needed for my years of great bitterness." Beheaded head was 11 years old boy who missed three days from his elementary school. Criminal was 14 years old boy, his name is Sakakibara. He assassinated other target on February 10, 1997, Sakakibara prepared hammer and knife, and hit two female elementary student’s head on school road. March 16, 2007, Sakakibara following elementary school girl, and hit her head by his hammer, after 5 minutes later, Sakakibara found other elementary school girl and stabbed her stomach by his knife. May 24, 2007, Sakakibara found a new target who looked disability elementary student. His name is Hase -11 years old, Sakakibara asked Hase to go together in the mountain, and when they arrived at mountain, Sakakibara chocked Hase’s neck with his best effort until he die, but Hase couldn’t die so quickly, so Sakakibara unseated and hit hase’s head with brick until he die. After Sakakibara confirmed Hase’s death, he kicked, punched, took out Hase’s eyeball and beheaded with handsaw. After central police in Japan captured Sakakibara, world media reported “Sakakibara as Serial Killer’”. But true fact was Sakakibara addicted horrors DVD which detected from his under the bed. Therefore, I assume that media aggressive violence caused this crime and couldn’t clear that how media aggressive violence affected to Sakakibara’s unconsciousness layer. Because I assume criminal mind already existed Sakakibara’s unconsciousness level which condensed before he born. Further, human’s unconsciousness spirit will transfer eternally in human deep consciousness. Curl Jung (1944), he had an incredible experience when he suffered a myocardial infarction, As C.G. Jung Memories Dreams Reflections, ed Aniela Jaffe (1961) stated “It seemed to me that I was high up in space.” (p. 289) Jung experience near death, and confirmed that there is life after death. If there is life after death, it would have a life before born. Because life is eternal. Therefore criminal mind pre-existed in Sakakibara’s unconsciousness layer, and appeared by cause of media aggressive violence. Third of the claims, I would like to focus Social media violence. The ABC News (10/20/2012) special declared, "Hidden America: Don't Shoot I Want to Grow Up," This report was, gang shot 24 people in Chicago last Saturday. The Chicago Police Department told ABC News 16 of the 24 shooting victims were affiliated with gangs. Among this incidence, the Gang members, some of whom are aspiring rappers, often use Facebook, Twitter, Hipstar, MySpace, Youtube and other social media outlets to spread inflammatory messages and encourage rival gangs to respond. Police officers have even found password-protected, gang-related websites that are used to recruit members, inform members about meetings or parties and even commit crimes, according to the Chicago Crime Commission. In the world of technology in 21 century, criminal would easy to create through social media network. But in the depth of conspicuous criminal, there are inconspicuous interaction hidden into this incidence. It is the disconnection of virtual reality. Society would rapidly evolving technology of the social network, there are created by online, but virtual reality will secure the distance between real people. It would cause to evade any uncomfortable event or/and even painful of the human experience. There is a certain irony in the fact, and people don’t need to understand or feeling of suffering or pain of others. In fact, social media violence will affect for the effort of developing self-mastery to the common people. Further, self-mastery would be the answer. According to text book Dennett(2003), Carly (2007) stated “Determinism” and “the notion that behavior is largely produced by factors beyond people’s willful control?”(p.21) Conclusion I would like to conclude my report of three Media Violence cases from the view of based on the view of unconscious theory of Sigmund Freud (1923), Carl Jung (1923) and view of Nine Consciousness of eastern Buddhist philosophy. . There is nine consciousness layers in human consciousness which would activated in human life. First consciousness to fifth consciousness layer would be sense of sight, hearing and smell. Deeper in the sixth consciousness layer integrates and processes the various sensory data. Below sixth consciousness, the seventh consciousness layer condense individual identity, national, gender, own attachment, and sense of right or wrong. Therefore therapy’s counseling would respond free of seventh consciousness store holder. Deeper than the seventh consciousness, there is the eighth consciousness layer. The eight consciousness layer is the karmic store layer. It would store internal cause and effect of the karma, which accumulated by though, say, and action and condense fundamental interconnectedness of all life. The deepest consciousness is the ninth consciousness. The nine consciousness store fundamentally pure consciousness and operate life force and purifies the eighth consciousness. Therefore aggressive media violence hit the thick shell of the eighth consciousness which stored heavy dark criminal mind. Stimuli of visual violence did splash out the surface of the consciousness layers, and took the action of atrocious. In this view “Self Mater” of the Media Violence would be a key factor, because media violence aggressively stubbed criminal’s unconsciousness eighth layer, it would be uncontrollable. In this conclusion, I would like to revitalize the mission of media. Emmanuel Kant (1788) said: "Table of the Categories of Freedom in Relation to the Concepts of Good and Evil," We begin with the concept of that which can be conceived to be good without qualification, a good will. Other good features of human nature and the benefits of a good life, Therefore, Media should inspire and awakening for good nature of human consciousness to bond between the people to eradicate the absent of other. Further, I would like to declare! We shall set force to implement moral of Media aggressive violence into the amendment of the universal declaration of human right. Moreover, the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Science in United States should take initiation to corroborate together with United Nation, and increase the category of humanitarian film award and competes and inspire the moral and human security toward the audience in all over the world. Thank you so much.
