Summary:

This 3-video series features America's leading media scholar, George Gerbner.

>>> The Killing Screens: Media & the Culture of Violence -- Gerbner urges us to think about the psychological, political, social, and developmental impacts of growing up and living within a cultural environment of pervasive, ritualized violent images.

>>> The Crisis of the Cultural Environment: Media & Democracy in the 21st Century -- Delivering a stinging indictment of corporate control of "the information superhighway," Gerbner urges the citizens of the world to struggle for democratic principles in the cultural environment.
