Williams, his advertising guide contains rich, relevant and highly useful information on the exposure of media and advertisements, and how they affect our society It is.

This news is not the sole cause of child violence. Our imaginary television program is responsible for the child's severe exposure to media violence.

Approximately 99% of American homes own television. Usually it is 2 to 3 units. According to Nielsen's report, children between the ages of 2 and 11 are watching TV averaging 23 hours a week, while teenagers are watching TV on average 21.5 hours a week (Hepburn, 1997 ). From a very young age, parents and children are highly dependent on television as a source of entertainment and entertainment. Parents often take their children with television as a babysitter and use them to spend time on their own. Television and media are used as educational tools for homes and schools

Most children watch 21 to 23 TV programs in a week and see 3-5 violence in an hour ("Media Violence (RE 9526)" 1). TV violence began affecting the age of children at the age of 3 (Smith 2). Teenagers will see thousands of violent events, deaths of manga and real people (Gonzalez 1). The most harmful violence against television is done in manga (Shifrin 2).

Explain to kids about the influence and influence of violence against television. Let's make it a family activity. It suggests activities other than watching television just like playing games and talking ("Violence TV" 2). The government intervened as a way to manage violence by the media. In 1999, many members of Congress signed an appeal called "Call for Hollywood", a voluntary code of conduct for the entire entertainment industry. Congress is promoting compulsory law as well. Several actions have already begun. For example, in Arizona, the Legislature created three proposals to limit the use of the World Wide Web by children.
