One of the most important technology in the world is the Television, that has been used long time ago and developed in to many other types of TV such as 3D, HD TV’s, for everything there is an good side and a bad side about it. Television violence is from the effect of the movie or a TV series on the people who watch it, kids are the victims of the TV shows especially the cartoon that shows them how a superhero can do amazing things such as flying, breaking walls by one punch, or even having laser eyes. The flying is a really dangerous effect that any kid see it from the superhero and they want to try because they are amazed from there action, many death accident happened because of kids jumping from really high place, they think that they will fly and be like the superhero they watched on TV. Kids are like sponges they observe and learn from the cartoon they watch, weather it’s a superhero or sometimes the main character is a thief and that will have a huge impact in the kid because when the cartoon character lies to get out of trouble or steal stuff from people, kids will think that lying is a good things and they will use it on there parent to get out of trouble, even sometimes they tend to steal because they think that stealing is a good thing because the saw it on TV. Cartoon are all unreal figures so when they throw stuff on each other and they wont get hurt, and when kids watch this they think that nothing will happen, so they use on there friends or there families, they throw knifes, plates and other dangerous things, in most of the time they get hurt, sometimes with severe injures. The violence that any kid watches in a cartoon show is very high, when they watch

    The immediate and alarmist tone of Mike Oppenheim’s inductive essay, “T.V isn’t Violent Enough” is a flawless example of the ineffective strategy that Oppenheim has taken in conveying his rational and completely biased argument. The described imagery of cinema action scenes are unrealistic and not violent enough; Oppenheim’s essay falls victim to the fallacy of authority and Oppenheim confusion of television not being violent enough with television violence being nonsensical.…

    Therefore, the media should reduce the amount of violence that is in children television shows. Rethinking the plots and making shows more educational but fun at the same would leave a more positive affect on the young children watching. The violent media displayed to kids can influence the decisions they make in everyday life. According to the American Psychological Association, “Violent programs on television lead to aggressive behavior by children teens who watch these programs”(APA,249). In other words, the American Psychological Association believes that these violent programs have a high influence on children and young teens. These aggressive behaviors exhibited by young children can cause bodily harm and also emotional harm for children. Once a child develops a pattern of aggressive behavior caused by TV Violence, it is a very process to reverse or get rid of this…

    In Violent Media is Good for Kids, Gerard Jones argues that violent forms of media in our pop culture can be used as a means of helping kids cope with rage. Throughout his essay, Jones promotes the idea that kids should use “creative violence” as a tool to transfer their negative emotions rather than acting out on them (197). Although Jones points out valid arguments to defend violence in media, he fails give a clear definition to determine what constitutes it. Thus, he excludes all other forms of media violence such as gaming, movies, television shows, etc. that dominate our current world. Jones’ argument is based mostly on Marvel Comics with superheroes acting out their “violence” to perceived injustices. His lack of sources makes him lose credibility and ineffectively persuade his readers, especially parents, to use media violence as a form of creativity to diminish any negative behaviors.…

    TV's True Violence

    • 1103 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In her Newsweek article “TV’s True Violence” Meg Greenfield argues that excessive fictional violence desensitizes viewers to the image of violence they see on television. Her discussion about this subject “generates hypocrisy and confusion”: the coarsening impact of violence on viewers, the effect on children, the volume of the violence, and the harm of dulling our response to the real thing. Everyone knows that there is too much violence on Television and that the networks must take action. Sex and violence are mixing on the screen and are becoming a “single phenomenon” and everyone knows that this phenomenon can have negative effects on the viewers’ behavior. Greenfield reveals that this “coarsening” makes “the unthinkable just a little less unthinkable, a little more OK.” Two objections Meg Greenfield has, the first is not to the violence itself, but to the volume and the way it is presented on Television. In the history of art violence has frequently played a role in , literature, art, and for example in Shakespeare’s plays, but violence back then had actually meant something. The second objection to TV’s fictional violence is that it will affect the viewer’s reaction to the real thing, for instance, the images of the wounded kids in “Sarajevo” and in other massacres and wars. Greenfield believes that We need to be able to respond appropriately to the images of violence. While every thinking person would agree there is too much violence on TV, the solution Greenfield offers is flawed. Watching more real violence on TV would complicate the issue, because real violence can be biased, desensitizing and manipulated.…

    VIOLENCE IN MEDIA

    In the essay “Buried Alive: Our Children and the Avalanche of Crud”, David Denby argues that pop culture is distinctive and damaging to children in the United States today. Pop culture is damaging because media has changed to become three-dimensional, inescapable, omnivorous, and self-referring. Media, according to Denby is everywhere; you cannot step away from the system of it. It has been known to be a commercialized aggression that puts parents on defense. Children now days have become commoditized towards television because they are being sold. Children are being treated as objects because of how television is influencing them. Television is teaching a child that is it cool to be vulgar. Denby suggest that vulgarity is a concept children do not understand because the makers of commercial cultures teach them not too. Denby argues that the old dream that parents and teachers would nurture the development of a child is now lost. Media has taken over the parental role because it is teaching children negative concepts and parents do not have control over this. Irony plays a part in this aspect because this is a form of commodity. Media does not only influence children through television but also through the products that you can buy in store or online. I agree with Denby because television shows have taught children to become vulgar and stereotypical.…

Media violence increases a trend of crime which aroused the awareness of general public. Media violence is not the simple cause of teenagers’ violent, it also the main reason of social violence.

    According to Aletha Huston, Ph.D., currently at the University of Kansas she believes that "children who watch the violent shows, even 'just funny' cartoons, were more likely to hit out at their playmates, argue, disobey class rules, leave tasks unfinished, and were less willing to wait for things than those who watched the nonviolent programs" (162). While reading this article, it clearly states that children shouldn't be watching violent shows at such a young age. "Just by limiting the number of hours children watch television will probably reduce the amount of aggression they see" (163). If parents did just that children would become less violent and more likely to be less aggressive as well. Parents need to be limiting what their children are watching. Kids today are having too much free time watching TV and the parents are having too little responsibility.…

    In Scharrer’s article “The behavioral, affective, and cognitive implications of media violence: Complex relationships between young people and texts” she explores the correlation between media violence and rising rates of violent acts. She makes the claim that media violence desensitizes younger children to either fear or recreate the violent acts they see in media. This correlation between violent images and violent acts is undeniable and clearly supported by various studies into the effects that violent images have on developing children.…

    According to The International Society for Research on Aggression (IRSA), “…. evidence shows that media violence consumption can act as a trigger for aggressive thoughts or feelings already stored.” The cartoons and TV shows now a days are full of violent fighting and shooting, every form of violence. According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychology; “Today 99% of homes have televisions. In fact, more families have televisions than telephones.” Over half of American children have a television in their room allowing them to watch what ever they want. This gives a greater opportunity for children to view programs without parents even knowing what they are watching. Studies reveal that children watch approximately 28 hours of television a week, more time than they spend in school. “The typical American child will view more than 200,000 acts of violence, including more than 16,000 murders before age 18. Television programs display 812 violent acts per hour; children 's programming, particularly cartoons, displays up to 20 violent acts hourly”( The Impact of Media Violence on Children and Adolescents: Opportunities for Clinical Interventions). TV has its good moments, but a majority of television and movies are mainly violence which can’t help with the youth these…

    Tv as a Shaper

    Violence has become a major part of television shows increasing regularly. Many may think that it is only the shows that get the warning “viewer discretion is advised” are bad influences on people but I believe that all shows can have a negative influence. For example, in the 90’s cartoon show Spiderman, all he ever did was tie villains up with his webs. In today’s cartoon he hits them and draws blood when fighting the villains. As innocent as cartoon shows may seem I have seen the increase in violence in these shows. Children, especially young, are not ready to distinguish right from wrong so when their favorite action hero is beating up a bad guy, therefore kids get the impression that it is all right to do the same. Witnessing repeated violent acts can lead to desensitization and lack of empathy for human…
