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?

It is often argued that violent content frequently displayed on media would negatively affect

children

's behaviour. I strongly agree that violence has a risk to offspring. The tendency of offspring to imitate what they see in the brutality on television is increasing these days.

However

, the aged 6 to 12 youngsters still lack the depth of consequences of doing aggressive language and action toward others. According to recent research, a person who watched a lot of TV violence when they were eight years old was more likely to be arrested and prosecuted for criminal acts as adults.

Moreover

, parents ignore the serious issue because they desensitise to bloody images or aggressive actions on television.

In contrast

,

children

are still building their beliefs and principles according to their world.

Thus

, the aggressive actions or assault verbal would profoundly affect their self-awareness.

On the other hand

, video games involve a significant amount of violence in a virtual reality made by high technology. The player is an active participant rather than a viewer;

therefore

,

children

might be confused between reality and virtual reality. Young

children

will not distinguish because they lack under parent's supervision.

Besides

, when their brains receive

this

kind of information, they might not have enough knowledge to deal with it, adversely affecting them psychologically. There is a murder issue that happened in Japan recently. A teenager killed his father, and

then

after he was arrested, he told the police he thought his father would live again just like the video game. In conclusion, video games and violent TV programmes have become common.

Therefore

, we need to pay attention to preventing

children

to avoid the information that will harm their development.
