Fact: viewing violence can cause children to experience aggressive attitudes and behaviors. Children and teens often are affected by the people they surround themselves with. This can often include the celebrities or characters that they see on screen. Many people look up to the heroic actions of these characters but they also take away some violent habits as well. Some may say that since it provides 'heart-to-heart' and points that teen relate to the article “Hollywood Filmmakers Should Not be Villianized for Movie Violence” is more persuasive. This is not true. The article “Hollywood, Stop Exposing our Kids to Violence!” is more persuasive and is better proven with facts because it uses reliable statistics and has reasoning the many parents can relate to.

It is a matter of great importance how much of media content children are exposed to and what exactly they are viewing on media. The issue of violence is not a new phenomenon among children and keeps increasing with time and change in technology and information technology. The causes of violence in children are seen to be multifactorial and exposure of children to media violence is said to be an important factor when it comes to the etiology of behaviors that are violent among children.

Television is the mainstream of our culture. Violence on television has been a topic of conflict since before 1950. There have been repeated debates on how to protect children from the harmful effects of violence on television. Television is one form of modern media that influences the everyday lives of people. Televised violence has a major effect on how children perceive the world and how they behave. "American television has become the most violent in the world. It is for this reason why researchers have focused their attention toward television violence" (Cantor & Hoffner 424-4-25). Children enjoy watching television and now with the increased technology of cable and movie

When it comes to the topic of violent media, some of us would readily agree it’s a controversial subject as to whether kids should or shouldn’t be exposed to it. This is because many children who view violent media react negatively rather than not being affected at all. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of what effects does it have on children. Whereas some are convinced that it is a healthy alternative for kids to express themselves, others maintain that it causes kids to become more aggressive and contributes to juvenile crimes.

Within our society today, media plays a huge role in everyone’s life - an important role. Media offers entertainment, news, information, and education; however, with these benefits come negatives as well. For example, foul language, drug abuse, and sexual content may be presented to an unsuitable audience, specifically children. It’s easy to see sexual content on tv, hear foul language in songs on the radio, or even hear about the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Children are especially good at mimicking what they see and are easily influenced. So, with all this content being shown openly with no censorship, children think this is a social norm, as well as spending long periods of time watching TV, playing video games, and using the internet. Modern technology has transformed the way children learn and interact within their environment, it is having a negative effect on them in this younger generation with all the easy access to all genera’s of media material for long periods of time.

Many would agree that these types of movies create many different fantasies and lead people to act out what they see in movies on others in real life. Some others would suggest that parents should watch movies with their children and get them involved with after school programs, and teaching them about their culture. I strongly agree with those suggestions, if parents fail their children it is a strong possibility that they will grow up to be serial killers. Revenge on society is terrible due to early abuse and rejection which has taught them passivity. Only in their world violent fantasies do they feel real and alive. What they go out in do to their victims is beyond unreal.

Most parents are very protective of their young children. They feel that if their impressionable young children aren’t exposed to violent media they would be less likely to act out. Gernard Jones in “Violent Media is Good for Kids” argues that the positive effects of violent media, including certain video games and gangster rap, far exceeds the minimal negative effects. I agree with Jones’s controversial stance on this topic. Sorry to break it to any parents who aren’t aware, children grow older and at some point in their life they will get mad, possibly even violent. It’s going to happen an unnumberable amount of times and there is nothing that can be done to completely eliminate this reaction which is a central part of human nature. As Jones

This would cause a kid to possible be more violent because he/she is alone supporting himself/herself which means they could be robbing people on the streets or be a bully in school. These people aren't violent because of movies but because of their life

The media in today’s society is very influential on children. There are many things that children at a very young age are learning, for example violence. Many children learn violent behavior and they become violent and aggressive children because they are exposed to so much mature content. Many parents are not aware of what their children are watching, and without knowing it, their children are raised by the media. Many television shows contain a lot of violence, for example kids fighting each other, kids bullying other kids and kids yelling and disrespecting their parents. Unfortunately, at a very young age children are learning to be aggressive and violent because they are spending more time watching television than spending it

I believe that these violent behaviors have an effect on the viewer's own behavior, the viewer can become more negative or violent themselves as a result of the content they are exposed to. But the most prominent source of violent content is produced in video games, due to the fact that in a video games the viewer can control the actions of the character as well as view violent behavior. Thus prompting me to believe that children should have some restriction to violent media, children are very easily influenced, which can result in them adapting to violent behaviors and exhibiting those behaviors in their daily lives. But children aren't the only ones who need restrictions, adults who are exposed the the violent behaviors also need to have fewer time viewing harsh content, the content can also take a negative effect in a adults life and even have health effects, such as

A lot of our students show great interest in watching T.V programs, or movies. Most of these movies have many violence senses. With repeated watching to this senses violence become a normal thing for the kid. As result we see our students trying to do the same in the classroom, when there is a small conflict between them. Instead of talking to each other students briefer to use violence. Also at home to conflict between brothers turns to be arena. All of this, because this is what they use to see at T.V and movies.

The media is a part of everyday life in American kids. Children are surrounded by technology, entertainment, and other media that is full of violence. Newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the internet all contain violence. Today's media has a negative influence on children. The media does have an influence on them, but does it really influence them to act out even though they know it's wrong? Mass media, and its components, are very powerful and can influence one's mind, as well as their behavior. Children that imitate characters who use violence in the media and display aggressive behavior, tend to give them reason to believe that violence can happen without consequence. For children who grow up with poor adult examples or an

Children view violence in different ways when they watch it on television, whether it is cartoons or a type of drama and action programming. After children have watched these television shows, they may have interpreted the meaning into a negative behavior. It could influence them by becoming aggressive, afraid of the world that surrounds them, or it may lead to confusion. When it is said that children may become confused because their parents teach that violence is wrong. When they view someone in a “superhero” position participating in violence, they may see that as it is all right for the simple fact the good person does the action. According to the American Academy of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry, “the impact of TV violence may be immediately evident in the child's behavior or may surface years later (AACAP, 2011).”

Media is also being tied to the increasing violence in US children. “Children are increasing anti-social and aggressive behavior, become less sensitive to violence and those who suffer from violence, children may view the world as violent and mean fearful of being a victim of violence. Children may desire to see more violence in entertainment and real life, and children will view violence as an acceptable way to settle conflicts.”( Buchanan, A.M., Gentile, D.A., Nelson, D.A.,Walsh, D.A., Hensel, J. 2002) Astonishingly, more time is being spent on watching television then homework which differ from child to child. A child’s interpretation of what they watch depends on of their attention spans, the way in
