Playing video games for just 20 minutes a day can encourage violent behaviour.
This would link to the hypodermic needle theory because the students that were asked to play the more violent games such as Call of Duty reacted more aggressively where as the students that were asked to play the less violent game (Dirt 2) reacted more calmly. This shows that there is a direct correlation between what you see and what you do which then supports the hypodermic needle theory.

This is another article that proves that playing violent games affects what you do later on. Based on this article an eight-year old had killed his grandmother after playing Grand Theft Auto which clearly supports the hypodermic needle theory again.
In my opinion I would agree with this debate because from my own experience I have seen young boys get violent after playing a video game for example GTA V and later on think its legal to do what they do with in the game.

Jamal Edwards: Amateur film-maker turned multimillionaire
I can link this to the two step flow model by making Jamal the 'opinion leader' in this case because he makes the videos and compares different rappers to see who is better and promotes different rappers that he comes across.
There are more you-tubers similar to Jamal himself, for example 'Cynical Brit' who reviews new video games on PC's and game consoles. Also there is TheDevilsJoker, ShintaiReviews, Standurbman and there is also a website where people compare hundreds of different and new video games called IGN.com.
