Daly's death were sentenced to 25 years to life based on their convictions of second-degree murder. Mr. Kahry Bekka and Mr. Shamel Burrough, both 18, were given their sentence despite pleas of leniency by their attorneys. A third youth, Jermaine Russell, 19 was sentence to 20 years to life because he had no previous criminal record. It was a tragedy for all." This was a sad but not uncommon fact that's why scientists are trying to answer everybody's question about today's youth aggressive nature. What makes them different and how is their lives related to other non-aggressive youths. They may never find all the answers, but scientist are trying to explain how television violence promotes children's temperamental nature, that continues into adulthood.
According to the Institute for Social research, an aggressive behavior is a learned behavior that is being taught to our children by the media violence that they are exposed day after day. Everyday we see crimes being committed through the cameras of our local news stations. Children in the United States watch Television an average of 7ΒΌ hours per day, 5,000 hours by the first grade and 19,000 hours by the end of High school. These figures are alarming considering that's more hours that our children spend in school, and that the United States has the most violent television programing among industrialized nations. These facts affects the younger children more, since their perception of what is real and unreal is not as acute as an older adult. Meaning that aggressive adults learned their behavior as children and the more violence children watch the better the chances are for them to be violent when they are adults. Scientist have been looking at the programs our children watch and have come up with some shocking results. Studies conducted by scientists have found that the behaviors of hostile kids in school were influenced by the shows they watched, especially if the youngsters were heavy watchers of violent programming.
