In fact, $70\%$ of the public thinks there's too much violence on television. Although media violence is not the only contributing factor, research says that the media cause at least $10\%$ of the violence in the U$.$S$.$ Consider, for example, the typical viewing habits of an elementary school child. By the time the average kid finishes elementary school, be will have seen $8,000$ television murders and over $100,000$ acts of violence. This desensitization toward violence means that it is time for things to change, We need to implement stricter media guidelines to protect young boys from becoming desensitizod. So don't beat around the bush, write a letter to our local Congressman advocating this change. Speech Segment: $($Sweatshops$)$ Erik Ness of the Progressive Media Project gave a high key report on the conditions for workers in Indonesia are completely ratchet. A workman making Nike sneakers busts his butt working ten hours a day; he works six days a week to bring home a measly fourteen cents an hour to his family; he gets two cents an hour for overtime. Of these workmen, $80\%$ are female and $88\%$ of those women are malnourished. Last year, Nike's net profits were $$329$ million.
