Mark:
I concur, but lets go farther; TV contributes to the decay of the American Family. And once the family goes, down go our institutions and up goes our drug abuse. Ditto to gambling and pornography.

Justin:
You have no evidence to support that claim. Images aren't reality. Violence in art goes back to Egypt. What's important is teaching people to be skeptical, to draw the line, to distinguish between images and life. Lisa, what's your opinion?

Lisa:
You're right, TV is not real.

Mark:
Hold on, reality is not the point here. Social decline is.

Justin:
Kate, reaction?

Kate:
Oh, no go ahead.

Justin:
Mark, I understand the spirit of your refutation, but society and its conception of reality are inextricable.
