Violence on television has a negative impact on children’s behaviour. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe that watching

violence

on television has a negative influence on

children

’s character. I completely agree with

this

opinion, because nowadays it is well known that imitation is the main approach

children

use to learn about life and improve their social abilities.

In addition

,

this

content

is detrimental to their neurodevelopment during childhood.

Children

’s character is created primarily through imitative behaviour. When

children

are learning, they try to copy people’s behaviour that they have seen that have positive outcomes,

while

removing other behaviours that they associate with negative outcomes.

For example

, when

children

watch a movie in which the main character wins an award through

violence

, they will copy

this

action, thinking that in their everyday

life

it will have the same ending. These imitations have a negative influence on

children

since they try to solve their problems with

violence

, omitting other ways that could be better.

Although

there are many cautions around violent

content

on television, it is a fact that many

children

consume

this

type of entertainment through different types of media,

such

as television, cinemas, phones, or tablets.

For example

, it is not uncommon to find

children

who have watched action movies

such

as Terminator, Avatar, or Marvel movies.

This

is detrimental to

children

's neurodevelopment

due to

the impact

this

violence

makes on their brains, increasing the violent

content

they see as underaged people without sufficient knowledge to contrast fiction and reality.

To conclude

,

violence

in the media has many developmental drawbacks for

children

that should be taken into account

due to

their difficulty to contrast fiction and reality, and because of their use of imitation as the main approach to learning during childhood. In my opinion governments and parents should have greater control over the

content

their

children

consume in order to protect them and reduce the negative impact.
