Liang concludes that children’s access to certain violent movies should be restricted. This is because movies that treat violence as an appropriate way to resolve problems causes increased aggression in viewers.

Sarah concludes that access to dramas involving violence should not be restricted for mature audiences. This is because such dramas allow viewers to experience the emotions associated with aggression and to get rid of those emotions.

We’re looking for a point of agreement. The speakers agree that watching movie violence can have an effect on viewers. They don’t speak about the exact same effects, but they agree that there can be effects.

Liang doesn’t express an opinion. She doesn’t say anything about vicarious experience of emotion and the results of such experience.

Neither expresses an opinion. Liang doesn’t say anything about mature adults, and Sarah doesn’t say anything about violence as an appropriate way to resolve problems.

Sarah expresses no opinion. She doesn’t say anything suggesting an opinion about what should happen if movies cause violence in viewers.

This is a point of agreement. Each speaker makes a different comment about effects of watching violent depictions, but each believes we understand some effects. L believes one effect is increasing levels of aggression. S believes one effect is allowing purging of aggression.

Neither speaker expresses an opinion. Liang’s recommendation concerns children, but that doesn’t mean she has any thoughts on whether children are more attracted to violent dramas than adults are.
