Media Violence

To me media violence is anything portrayed as violence in the mainstream media which includes TV, movies, news, radio, etc. Violence in the media can just be enjoyed or watched by adults in their right minds, but to those who are too young to understand that it’s fake, it can have devastating effects. Young impressionable kids and pre-teens, who don’t understand the true effects of the violence that is portrayed in the media, can be harmed for the rest of their lives. These kids see violence by characters in movies and TV, who usually ultimately have no dire consequences, and think that’s how life really works. I believe that there’s really nothing the media could do that would please all parties, I think the best solution would be to have the parents take care of their kids and not let them watch these kinds of violent programs. And if the parents don’t control what their children are watching, there’s no one to blame but themselves.
