In this video, Glenn Beck comments on the newest violent game, Grand Theft Auto. He spent some time comparing the 75 million dollars spent on training soldiers to kill in World War I to the 60 dollars that can be spent for endless violence. In his opinion, the game is a negative influence on society and its gamers. Beck believes that the insane violence in GTA IV is going to spark negative thoughts in the gamers’ heads. Why waste money on such terrible entertainment. In the video, there were multiple ethos appeals. The fact that the speech was on national television gave the viewers some trust in Back. Also, there were pathos appeals such as the streaming scenes of GTA and the violence that occurred. Beck even added some pathos appeals with his example of Nico beating a prostitute to death after having sex with her. Overall the video was very informing and most likely opened the eyes to parents who expose their children to such horrors.
