I guess I didn't realize the point of any art form was to become famous. Dave Krueger,IT manager TV provokes behavior Violence among children has been the focus of many 6 p.m. news programs lately with school shootings. These shootings get the front pages and news specials, but the violence that doesn't make the news is a much more widespread problem in our society.
Television has a huge impact on children.
By age 13, the average child views 100,000 acts of television violence, along with 8,000 depictions of murder. Numerous studies have shown that children act differently after being exposed to television violence. Kids who watch this violence are more likely to be aggressive toward playmates and to disobey authorities. A study was done by University of Michigan psychologists Leonard Eron and Rowell Huesmann. They found that watching violence on television affects the aggressive tendencies in children more than poverty, race, or parental behavior.
