With more and more of our television shows, movies, and
video games being about fifty percent violent one might have to ask, is this
the reason why children are bringing guns to schools, innocent lives have been
taken because some children cannot distinguish between the real world and
television land? In the past 10 years or so, more news stories have played
about someone killing a person or group of people and saying that it was because
of a video game they play day in and day out or an artist that they listen to
that speaks on nothing but murder.
Check out this article that I found the American Psychological
Association’s website.
The answers to this research were found after decades of
studying children and the television programs that they watched. This research
followed children from eight years of age until adulthood. This research was conducted by psychologists
L. Rowell Huesmann, and Leonard Eron.
