Most people look at television as an entertaining and educational way to spend time, some people think there is a lot of violence in television and that is influencing our young into becoming aggressive in nature and to tolerate violence. Now scientists have discovered that all the violence in television can in fact mold a young innocent person into becoming a monster right under our eyes, just by watching television. It might sound absurd, but think about it. It's 5:00 p.m. you feel in the mood to relax and watch a talk show after a stressful day at work to find out the topic is "He killed my sister!" Sounds odd but most people like the thrill of violence. People like scary, violent movies like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St. Children see the bad guy is shot dead by the good guy and everyone applauds. He or She learns that its fine to hurt someone as long as they are bad, so if cousin Joey takes my toy its O.K. to hit him because he is bad. This type of behavior can produce a false idea in children's mind of how the real world deals with criminals. All major networks ABC, NBC, CBS etc. contribute to this sad but true fact. If you seriously think about it, it's not all that uncommon to turn on the news or pick up a paper and find out somebody's face was slashed up simply because she was pretty or somebody was shot to death because of the color of their skin. .
Many of the senseless violent acts have been committed all over the country. Acts of violence are committed everyday by High school and even Elementary school kids. Psychologists and Scientist have been trying to figure out what is causing these violent acts among our youths and how to stop it. Unfortunately it's not all that easy. They have been researching television violence and how it affects our children's behavior for many years and know that the more violence a child watches the more violent that child reacts. The recent increment of crimes committed by younger children has put a lot of pressure on scientist to find answers for our nations future.
