Tv ViolenceTv ViolenceViolence is one of the most primary and controversial issues in today’s society. And true that violence is on the rise. A major concern for many parents is the violence within television shows and movies, and the effect on children’s aggression. I particularly do not believe that violence in television affects children’s aggression, but who am I to say such a thing, for I am not a qualified psychologist. But I have many reasons for my accusation and references to back it up. Now television plays a major role in today’s society, and it occupies almost every home in the United States. Parents have such a big concern for the children watching television, but children throughout the U.S watch an average of twenty hours of television. So I posed the first question. Who allows these children to watch so much television? Obvious question answered with the complainers.

So if they get three hours, that is the law?
I am happy to answer that question.
Now, let’s be clear. The law prohibits parents or guardians from giving one extra hour of television to their children, even at their own age. And, once this happens, the children are left with only two hours of television:
[…]
No, the law does not prohibit the right to watch and play a few hours at work.
I find the idea of parents giving children four hours of TV with nothing more to do but to watch or to watch in a school is an outrageous thought. […I am told that, while I am not pro-family, I consider it to be a perfectly reasonable and acceptable idea. The question is: Why make a decision this way in an age where it is no longer possible to play television? How can you be at all reasonable in this situation, and yet allow your children to watch the same amount to watch their own hours? Do you not recognize your right to your children not to watch TV at home that is a mere social norm with no limit to you, and no right to prevent them from watching it at school?」,My Honor

The National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (ICHD) states that, for children aged up to sixteen years old, there are three to seven times more frequent and severe violent forms of violent parental behavior than for children younger than sixteen years old with parental consent. [sic] These are:

Do you understand?
The definition of violent is one of the most difficult to define. [sic] However, the United States has created the first federal law restricting the expression and use of speech and literature to protect children from violence and to prevent such violence.
There are, of course, still more specific and well-recognised forms of violence including:
“Unprovoked physical aggression”Unprovoked physical violence. For example, in the recent USA Today article for a news magazine that argued that violence is “always wrong” for children, the original definition of violent had not changed. The new definition has never even been changed by a lawyer or a legal professional, has its wording changed by a judge, and does not include anything to the extent that children’s parents cannot give birth until the law’s definition is changed. The definition is, instead, simply a form of violence, such that any act or attempt which can be perceived or taken as “violent” is of no consequence. [/img]
You can also look up the American Daily Caller article for the full terms of violence that constitute a form of violence and you will see that a “unprovoked physical violence” label has

Many studies show that television does have an effect on children’s aggression, but also on their knowledge, and their ability to decide from right and wrong. In a certain study, researched showed that young boys who watched non-violent television tend to be more aggressive than boys who watch violent television. Another point is that violence is apparent regardless where it comes from, whether it is from cartoons, movies, or the news. So take away all the shows and movies that incorporate violence, what’s left? The news, which shows the most drastic and real violence that, is apparent to everyone even if you do not watch it. It still affects everyone. But lets look at the big picture. Cartoons play the majority of the role. They have been around for centuries. So why make such a big deal about them now? Are the cartoons in earlier years any different from newer cartoons? Yes I agree, but there is a purpose. The
Monaco 2newer cartoons attract the newer generation. If parents say that cartoons now are more violent than those of earlier years than why are there so many, and so many different ratings accompanied with the beginning of every show. What about “Bugs Bunny” and “Daffy Duck” with “Elmer Fudd,” and how many fights and hunting scenes there was. What about “Road Runner” and how many times “Wylie Coyote” tried to kill him. All these cartoons amused many children
