Television

violence is a negative message of reality to the children who see it. There

is an excessive amount of violence being watched in millions of people?s homes

every day, and this contributes to the growing amount of violent crimes that

are being committed in our communities. This cycle of more and more sex and

violence being portrayed as reality on television will not stop until something

is done.

Not one parent that I know wants his or her children watching people

getting blown away and thrown off cliffs. But the reality of it is that parents

cannot be there 24 hours a day to monitor what their children are watching.

In fact the television is often used as a baby-sitter, so that the parent can

do housework, have an adult conversation, or just relax after work.

The types

of people who are the most likely to be harmed by the surplus of violence on

TV are children. Ed Donnerstein stated in the February 15, 1996 edition of

the Boston Globe the following:

Violence turns out to do a lot of harm when

it looks harmless. One of these lessons children learn watching television

is that there are few consequences to the person who commits violence ? or

to the victim. Add to this ?positive? portrayal of negative behavior the fact

that children?s programs were least likely to show the bad effects of violence

and most likely to make it funny” (Goodman pg. 23).

We are showing children

that violence is humorous and it can?t do harm.
