Media_Violence

Media Violence Since television service was introduced, it has become so much a part of our existence that many people cannot imagine a life without it. Virtually every American household has a TV set. Media violence has a negative effect on children. They have no sense of conscience at a young age, but there is certain things parents can do to cut down the aggression among their children. Children begin to notice and react to TV very early. By the age of three, children will willingly watch a show designed for them 95% of the time and will imitate someone on television as they will imitate a live person. The average time children spend watching television rises from about two and a half-hours per day at the age of five to about four hours a day at age twelve. During adolescence, average viewing time drops off to two to three hours a day. Young children do not process information in the same way as adults. Nor do they have the experience or judgment to evaluate what they see. For example, children between the ages of six and ten may believe that most of what they see on TV is true to life. children, television, tv, violence, about, watch, age, rules, parents, make, effect, watching, time, stage, young, two, levine, child, aggressive, shows, set, remember, negative, media, likely, aggression, violent, viewing, think, show, right, out, others, morality, imitate, ideas
