Television Violence Exposed
Nearly every time a television is turned on, the viewers are greeted by a barrage of violent images including explosions, suicide bombings, and war casualties. Many popular television shows, even the "family" time slot, also feature much more violence than shows aired just a few years ago (Chakraburtty 1). Most families in the United States spend their spare time sitting down and watching television with each other. It is because of this that American children watch an average of between three and fours hours of television daily (1). No matter the age, it is very hard for children to avoid a television set as bright colors can be attractive for young children. Even infants up to eighteen months old pay attention to television for short periods of time, and can become full-fledged viewers once they are around the age of two-and-a-half (Muohsen 1). This is a long time that a child is able to watch a television. By the time they reach the age of eighteen, children have seen on average over 200,000 acts of violence (Dowshen 2). This consistent exposure is unhealthy both physically and mentally to their growth. Children learn aggressive behaviors and attitudes, become fearful, or pessimistic, of the outside world, and have a hard time telling the difference between reality and real life. Television is ruining the lives of today's youth.
