Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Jane believes that since movies and TV influence children and lead to violent behavior, we should prohibit violent content in media intended for youth.
Conclusion: Jane argues that depictions of teenage violence should be banned from media marketed to young people.
Reasoning: Jane bases her stance on the premise that media is highly influential and that violent depictions specifically cause young viewers to engage in violent acts.
Analysis: To strengthen Jane's argument, we need to provide more evidence for the causal link she proposes between watching violence and acting violently. Maurice's historical objection doesn't actually disprove that media *currently* causes violence, but Jane's argument is still just a theory until we find data to back it up. Look for an answer choice that offers empirical evidence or a study showing that exposure to these depictions directly increases the likelihood of aggressive behavior.
