Question

1) Research shows that kids who watch a lot of TV in adolescence are more likely to behave aggressively in adulthood. This has led some to conclude that TV watching is responsible for adult violence. How else could this relationship be explained?
2) How can we explain the fact that millions of kids watch violent TV shows and remain nonviolent?

3) What do you think. Do you think exposure to violent media results in violent crime? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.This relationship could also be explained like: Research shows that children who grow up watching violent tv shows and movies develop violent tendencies and/or personalities.

2. We can explain kids not becoming violent from watching violence based on how they are raised. If children are taught to not be violent, what they watch won't impact them negatively.

3. I think it has potential to impact violence in society but it depends on the household. I think children in stable, healthly households with good principles will not become violent.
