Jane's letter (cont.)
«...One more thing I'm going to tell you concerns the problem which faces our society now. I mean the
problem of violence. The latest statistical data says that violent crime is rising constantly in this country. I know
about it not only by newspapers reports. I've been robbed twice already and I'm afraid to leave my flat when it
becomes dark. But even staying at home isn't a guarantee for safety. My old neighbour had been killed in his
own flat and as usual the murderers hadn't been found by the police. Violence has become an accepted way of
life in America. There are different explanations for this phenomenon. One of them is the possibility to buy any
kind of weapons at gun shops everywhere in the US. The weapon is being bought not only by criminals but by
law-abiding citizens too to protect themselves.
The growth of using drugs is one more reason. To buy drugs teenagers need money, so they try to get it by
robbing, committing burglary or even murdering people. Another reason is the propaganda of violence by mass
media and especially television and films. Watching TV you are being fed with all kinds of killings, beatings,
gunfights and so on. Even the special programmes for children are full of scenes of violence. And it's not
surprising that juvenile crime record is constantly growing. I'm sorry I took so much of your time telling about
my city and country, but I hope it was interesting for you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Please, give my best wishes to Pete.
Yours sincerely, Jane».
