Explain catharsis, desensitization, and habituation.

Explain catharsis, desensitization, and habituation. When you watch violent programs on TV does it have a cathartic effect on you? Do you feel aroused, satiated, repulsed, nothing? Does it depend on the type of stimuli (e.g. realistic vs. unrealistic)? Do you feel desensitization or habituation occurs? Is the media presenting more intense exposure for effects? Should violence on television be censored? To some degree, or not at all? Explain why or why not.
