A few thoughts on media violence

I'm very impressed at how this author started off his piece, with rolling punches. The way he had worded his starting point was incredible. He used words such as: reformers, culture warriors, scurrying, public eye etc. The piece sounded very sophisticated and well written, as well as well thought out. This piece did seem in-formal for sure, and the author used plenty of facts, nicely blended in with the arguments. His statements stood out to me and he would use rhetorical questions in large amounts. This author spoke beyond reasonable doubt, and would refer to what his critics may rebut with. He addresses logical fallacies extremely well and his work is well crafted and proper grammar, spelling as well as punctuation.

The author uses examples from movies, books, video games and so forth. His sources include a wide variety of newspapers, studies and statistics. Overall, I would say this author has presented his work very well, and contains all the good elements of a informal writing piece.
