These days, we are seeing an increasing amount of violence on television, and this is having a negative impact on children's behaviour. Do you agree or disagree

Violent

content

in the form of video games, media channels, and

television

dramas has seen a rapid increase over the

last

few years.

This

form of

content

, when exposed to children, could have negative consequences on their personality and

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

. Some children might be more prone to the negative effects of

violence

on

television

than others might, but I do not agree that all children would demonstrate violent

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

due to exposure

toof

in the direction of

to

too

tough

brutal

content

on

television

. Studies have shown that children, particularly in their early years, absorb and retain a lot of information from the

television

. The famous

television

serial, ‘The

Seseame

Suggestion

Sesame

Street’ has proved to influence the

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

and personalities of many children across the world.

In addition

, children need reinforcement from their surroundings for their

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

to shape.

For example

, a child living in Ghana would most probably demonstrate violent

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

if he/she watches violent

content

on the

television

and observes

violence

in his village when he goes out and witnesses gunshots and blood from the wounded regardless of

content

displayed on TV.

Hence

, I believe blood and gore on

television

, by itself, does not necessarily alter children’s

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

. Children in many countries play violent

videos

Suggestion

video

games

such

as ‘GrandtheftGrand theft Auto’ or ‘Call of Duty’ but that does not result in them expressing violent

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

.

This

is because they know it is just a game and consequences of

violence

in a game and in a real world are very different.

On the contrary

, children in many villages in Pakistan domestically abuse and beat their sisters even though they do not have any

television

sets or exposure to violent

content

.

Therefore

, violent

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

is not influenced by violent

content

on the

television

only; there are many other factors that affect

such

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

. In conclusion, I would like to say that I do not agree with the statement that violent

content

on the

television

negatively affects children’s

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

, as there isn’t enough scientific evidence to back up

this

hypothesis.

However

, it is better to limit exposure to

violence

to children as other societal factors could reinforce violent

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

in them.
