Effect Of Violence On Children 's Television Programs
Introduction
The last decade has generated enormous momentum regarding the effect of
violence in media targeted at individuals in the young age bracket . But
even as awareness increases the problem seems to increase in magnitude .
Experts argue that unless the demand does not reduce the supply will not
match down and this might just be true . In reality the stem of the
problem is still lack of awareness . An average educated American family
might know not to expose their children to violence on television but
may not really gauge the fact that the program their toddler watches on
screen has its share of violence in a well fed and nourished capsule .
This is largely the problem . Of HYPERLINK "http /www .ericdigests .org /2001-4 /violence .html " \l " course , other
social factors can increase the likelihood of violence by youth : lack of
interaction with parents , brutality in home life , exposure to violence
in neighborhoods , and easy access to guns . Here we are talking about an
entire generation of our children who shall be victims to aggression and
violence and who shall with increased likelihood grow up to be less
productive individuals . Let us not forget that we are talking about the
future of any given nation when we speak of its children . Take a look .
Significance of the problem at hand :
So just why is it so important that we try to understand something that
happens in childhood ? And that too something as trivial as a few stunts
in your child 's daily program , some might ask . Don 't most children grow
out of such things when they grow up and begin to exhibit normal
acceptable adult behavior ? The truth is that during early childhood , the
foundation is laid for future social , emotional , cognitive , and physical
development . During this formative period , young children are
particularly vulnerable to negative influences . In most instances ,
children have no control over the environmental messages they receive .
Up until age seven or eight , children have great difficulty
distinguishing fantasy from reality , and their ability to comprehend
nuances of behavior , motivation , or moral complexity is limited . This
special vulnerability of children necessitates increased vigilance to
protect them from potentially negative influences .
EFFECTS OF VIEWING VIOLENCE .
The nation 's first major study on the effects of TV violence was a 1972
U .S . surgeon general 's report that confirmed that televised violence ,
indeed , does have an adverse effect on certain members of our society .
MAJOR and Direct
-Children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others (`desensitization ' to violence )
-Children become fearful of the world around them
-Children may be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways
toward others
--Media violence can be especially damaging to children under age 8 and
their families because they cannot readily tell the difference between
real life and fantasy and stresses the caregivers .
-Direct anti social behavior as a result of simulating the acts seen on
television .
-Immediate phobias due...
