Consequences
When you see violence on TV, movies, or video games think about the consequences that would result from this violence in real life. Ask yourself some of the questions below:
| Feelings | Responsibilities | Injuries | Results |
| Who will be sad? | Who will pay for the damages? | Who will have to go to the hospital? | What will happen to the victim's families? |
| Who will be scared? | Who will clean up the mess? | How long will they stay in the hospital? | Who will be left alone? |
| Who will be angry? | Who will fix everything that was broken? How much will it cost? | Will they fully recover from their injuries? | How does this affect other people? |
| Who will be embarrassed? | Who will pay the hospital bills or the fees for the funeral? | Will their lives go back to normal? | If someone dies, who will attend the funeral? |
| Who will be left out? | | | |
