as played out in movies or television. They are all part of the

"
Children are the result of the values of both their families
and the broader society in which they are raised, and to pretend

EXCERPTS FROM REMARKS BY THE FIRST LADY TO THE NATIONAL
CONFERENCE ON YOUTH VIOLENCE
(August 15, 1994)
"
Think of what it is like today for the young people in
this room and the millions of others like them who are immersed
in a culture of violence. A culture that in so many ways

is a badge of honor, instead of a mark of cowardice, which it
truly is. A bullet wound is an emblem of adulthood."

television I think that talk shows, combined with the violence,
is, in effect, changing the way children feel about themselves in
very damaging ways to themselves and our country."

I was looking at some research that a political scientist has
done showing that young people are by far, in her words, more
misanthropic that people our age and older. They don't trust
anybody. They have more emotional stress in their lives.
"And the explanation for that has to do with everything from
the breakdown of the family and divorce, to the steady diet of
