Some parents are worried about the increasing level of violence in TV, videos games & other types of entertainment of children's leisure. How does this affect children? How do you think problem can be tackled?

Some parents are concerned regarding children's exposure to violent content in TV shows, electronic games among other kinds of entertainment. Exposing the youth to

such

subject can affect how they perceive their actions and its consequences. I think a possible solution is making parents aware about the media

age

rating

system

.

First

of all, until eighteen years old the human brain still in development and it is quite sensible to external inputs.

Thus

, until that old it is important avoiding contact with mature content, since an individual might get disturbed and willing to reproduce in real life what he or she has seen on the media.

For instance

, if a child is used to play a video game which he or she drive over people on the streets,

this

child might want to do the same in real life.

Consequently

, it is a matter of risking not only the teen's safety, but

also

the safety of others surrounding the youth. So, a possible solution is bringing awareness to the parents about the

age

rating

system

of the media being consumed.

Hence

, the parents can evaluate based on

this

criteria if the media subject is suitable for the kid's

age

.

For example

, some video games are not suitable for children under sixteen years old, but with no restrictions for children above that old.

Therefore

, if the

age

rating

system

is respected and well understand by the adults the risk of exposing children to unsuitable subject is mitigated. In conclusion, the main downside of exposing a teenager to mature content is disturbing its perception of reality;

consequently

, risking the safety of both the teenager and the others around.

Then

, I believe a possible solution is bringing information to parents about

age rating

Suggestion

the age rating system

an age rating system

system

for better controlling their children access to entertainment.
