  Theory questions and your opinion 1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? I believe that social media is partially responsible  for the act of violent behaviour portrayed by children. Many kids browse the internet and many different platforms where they are exposed to a variety of content where they learn and copy people actions due to their un developed brain.       2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age?

Using the hyper dermic needle theory we can see that the producer targeted passive consumers. This 15 year old teen seems to be the targeted consumer who has fallen into the producers trap. 3) What do  you  think of the hypodermic needle theory? Do audiences believe everything they see in the media? The hypodermic needle is less believable...
