O.P. RE: immigrant video
Young children learn things by copying other people, you only have to spend the day with a baby who has just learnt to talk to realise that.

If, from a young age people people are exposed to violence on the TV, it will have an effect on them. Of course they are not going to think "i'm going to get a chainsaw and chop people up because i saw it on GTA", but the idea that all this violence is normal will be instilled in their mind, and later on in life it could manifest itself into other forms of violence.

There was an experiment a while ago, where babies at a young age spent a lot of their play time in a play area sponsored by a cigarettes company, their logo was on all the toys, and on the walls and stuff. In a follow up some years later, out of all the people who started smoking, they all chose that cigarette brand as their preferred brand of cigarettes.
The reason I said this story is because it shows that things that happen in a childs early life have an effect on their choices later on in life.
