Television's Responsibility in Violent Children

Taking into consideration the child's family life, domestic violence and possibilities of neglect, it may lead to violence. In addition, the mental state of the child can play a role in their behavior. Because these are two of the many elements that play a role, others will argue that television can not be held responsible alone. You can browse hundreds of channels on TV, and when we see something funny, we stop gazing at these movements until we understand what it is. As Steven Johnson said, "The morality of the story is getting darker and darker" (279).

In all aspects of the problem, it turns out that supporters are making many legitimate arguments about whether watching television, including children's violence content, is the cause of violence in these children. Therefore, in order to draw more prudent conclusions about this problem, the last part of the literature review discusses several research results and the results of the research conducted by the research experts in the past and shows what they concluded confirm.

American children see an average of 4 hours of TV every day. Television has a great influence on the development of value system and the formation of behavior. Unfortunately, most of today's TV programs are violent. Hundreds of studies on the effects of TV violence on children and adolescents have found the following. When children are exposed extensively to television violence, aggression increases. If you see one violent program you may gain aggressiveness. Watching violence is very realistic, and children who often do not receive repeated or punishment are more likely to imitate what they are seeing. Children with emotional, behavioral, learning or impulsive control problems may be more vulnerable to television violence. The influence of television violence may become obvious soon after child behavior and within a few years. Even if family life is not violent, young people will be affected

Violence against television may change children's educational behavior. When a child fails at school, he or she may or may not go to prison after all. All these cheatings are caused by watching violent TV. Television teaches children negative factors that do not cause bad behavior or profit. I know that most parents do not care even what kind of movies or TVs the children are watching. Some people are concerned about this. They are probably religious people. I think the most successful person is a person who is not watching TV and who has religious beliefs.
