displaying acts of violence and brutality which are creating a mindset of normality for their viewers. If we go by the statistics of 2011 survey by BBC these

programmes

and

games

are popular among

children

and teens who tend to live in a virtual world where they seem to forget the ethics, morality and compassion towards other human beings.

For example

. A recent gun attack in southern California by a teenager who shot 12 teachers and 5

children

in the Southwest school when arrested he said he felt

this

as a game and task assigned to him.

Hence

, I believe these

games

and

TV

programmes

are having an enormous effect on a child’s brain development especially when they are teens. In order to resolve

this

problem. The key role of parents is involved here

such

as monitoring their juvenile’s activity online and in school so that their

children

are not going on the wrong path. Though, these a minor methods of controlling

this

menace. I believe we definitely need to stop

this

legally. We

first

need to develop and implement laws and regulations to stop the production and supply of

games

and

TV

programmes

of violent nature.

Moreover

, governments and parents need to work hand in hand to solve

this

rising problem.
