This was the beginning when violence became a common place in our lives. Today Americans wonder whatever happened to children just being children. If you ask me, I think America s youth got sucked into all the television sets. More and more children are glued to the TV and more and more violence is sticking in their minds. Just reading that, whether or not TV causes violence is not up for debate.
Television violence does lead to real-world violence.
Our children watch TV to be educated and entertained at the same time to make learning fun. Since violence has bombarded the channels, our children are learning the wrong kind of fun. It is sad to see a child laugh when someone is set on fire or a car explodes. I can count on one hand how many shows are out there that do not confuse and harm a child s mind. Many violent television programs show a character getting knocked down by another character and then get back up without being harmed.
