Violence On Television
Everyday there are several acts of violence shown on television. A study was done by four universites and they found that of nearly 2,700 shows analyzed in a twenty week survey of twenty-three channels, 57% were said to cantain at least some violence (Zoglin, 58). Many people believe that violence on television has contributed to the rising number of crimes in America. Leonard Eron supports what many people think by proving that the television is responsible for only ten percent of the violent behavior in this country but if we could reduce violence by ten percent, that would be a great achievement (Mortimer, 19).
This page is about different television shows that affect childrens actions and views towards society. Television shows sometimes seem "show" positive family values, but if you sit down an actually watch the show, everything that you perceived in the beginning turned out to be a false assumption.
