I've been thinking of this for a while, and I think that having too much violence where young children can easily view it isn't good.. Children will do as they see others doing, which, in itself, isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if they're watching television shows about murder and theft, will they end up killing and stealing? It's the sort of thing that can only be stopped if the parents monitor what their kids are watching and doing, but does anyone else worry about this? If violence is used for entertainment, and children learn that growing up, will they kill for thrills? What do you think?

Ma'am, Violence on TV doesn't cause violence.
What really causes violence is actual violence.

Yorozuya is right. But at the same time, he's (or she, no offense intended) not right. To be honest, children learn a lot of things from T.V. AND The world. If a child is raised up around drugs and killing then yes, they'll see it as how life should be and they'll end up doing it. But if a child watches it on T.V. they may or may not do it. Back when the Gore genre in movies first came out, a lot of kids who saw it "tried" imitating it. Just like on Friday The 13th movies, i think it was the second one, a child killed one of his friend because he saw it on the movie. Of course the mothers went nuts and tried to sue. But my opinion is this: If there is violence on T.V. and IF a parent thinks the child will learn from it, then the parent has to either A) Turn the channel or B) block it. But after a certain age, the parents have to just get over it and trust their kids.
Think of it like this: Does anyone remember watching on CartoonNetwork, late at night when the 'real' Toonami first started? Yu Yu Hakusho was the biggest violent show and it had cussing in it. Im sure some people remember that. But everything now-a-days is being politically correct. So, either way its just a matter of how the parents want their kids to be raised.

Some pick it up from their parents, some from other children, and some from tv or outside things. They're like sponges and absorb what happens around them but we can't blame tv. I grew up on Barney and Sesame Street but I'll admit I can act very violent to my younger sister and others whom have gotten on my bad side.

I think it is all relative. It is hard not to resort to violence as an answer for young kids because in tv (especailly I shudder to say cartoons) show way too much violence. I think that that stuff needs to be filtered and children need to be sat down and explained to that hurting another person is just as real, and just as painful not only to the other person, but to the inflictor's psyche. I notice most people today when they are angry skip right over thinking and just get right into fighting. I had at least 10 fights last year at school and even girls (not prejudicely saying) are discussing the best way to harm one another. Not only is there so much violence but a lack of respect in life and each other, and it starts out with our young kids today
***Fun fact I learned in my history class~
Did you know that by the time most kids are 17, they will witness 18,000 murders?
(I say most kids because I, myself, have not watch regular tv for 3 years. My dad has taketh it awayeth.)

eh, I think if left unchecked children can grow to be violent because of TV, but honestly if a parent is going to let kids watch ultra-violence they should sit the child down and explain the difference between TV and real life.

Well...
some children born into families who do not have the experience to educate them right
some children experience violence at home
some children learn what it means to be the "loser" in society
some children do not have the food to eat properly and see others playing another game every day
some children do not learn how to play with others and cannot make friends
some children will see in school that they are not as smart, fast, etc. as others
the world is at war, the environment is being destroyed, unemployment is a fatal blow...
oh yeah, it's the TV, of course...

Not all of T.v Has violence though to. Remember that. Some kids pickit from there spouse, a loved one, or the praticality of some other person. Parents these days don't take child care the way they use to, Things have changed and T.v has changed aswell.
Though kids do watch alot of T.v aswell, and some of that can rub off on them but not always if they are taught right. T.v is just entertainment and nothing more. Though entertainment these days has a gross effect of gore, Langueg problems and some sexual things that are even on daily during when children come home fom school. One switch of the remote and if a kid takes interest it can effect there lives. Children are innocent at least some, and a decent amount of parents can be responsible for not explaining situattions to them.

violence, no, stupidity, yes. shows like Dora the explorer and barney have been corrupting young minds for long enough. my Lil brother was almost killed while trying to swing over 'rainbow river' on a poison ivy vine.
you can imagine the outcome.

Violence on tv only effects a kid if they have a preexisting problem. The violence might just give them ideas. Ever hear of the mortal combat kids? Well in case you haven't it was a group of stupid kids who thought it would be cool to recreate moves say in mortal combat. One kid ends up dying do to his injuries. The majority of kids who play mortal combat keep the violence in the video game. It's just like TV.
I think one of the biggest contributors to violence in children is the lack of discipline and parental control. Where I work I'm around kids all the time and more often then not I see parents rewarding bad behavior. I saw this little girl just full on punch her brother in the testes. The mother saw this and her response was to just tell the girl not to do that. That was the punishment "no, bad". There was no time out, spanking (which I disagree with) or even an extended reason why and on top of that she bought them both toys. It's those issues which validates and causes more extreme bad behavior and then the parent realizes they have no control and want to blame it on something that isn't themselves. It must have been the TV I'm a bad parent for letting my child watch Power Rangers. It's like no you're a bad parent for not punishing and rewarding your child when it's needed.

It's all because stupid parents raise their stupid children with a television screen. "Yadda yadda you know I have to work hard, blah blah." is no excuse to degenerate the own children that way.
You know, there are simply children which are really stupid the way they are. And some children seem to me to be a plague of god. Such as the goodwilling, loving parents, which rather have absolutely less than a clue how to raise children, than making some.
And never underestimate a slap as a last word, of course I don't recommend using it inflationary, but from time to time, when they b***h around, give'em a slap and they will be quiet.

I disagree, slapping them doesn't do anything. If anything, the slapping would just promote the violence even more. As an example, I was spanked often as a child, and repeated the same offenses over and over, the spankings did not deter me at all. Instead, as I matured, I just stopped doing them on my own. Or in some cases, getting good enough to not get caught wink I will say that there probably are children that respond better to spankings than other things, however any child that would imitate the violence on TV would only then imitate the violence in their family, even it is a justified punishment.

Violence on television and videogames do not make people violent. I watched all sorts of violent movies when I was young, and it hasn't effected me in the slightest. What's my secret? Good parenting. When bad parents find that they raise bad children, they are quick to blame anything in sight. If I recall, it wasn't long ago that Dungeons and Dragons made children kill themselves and use witchcraft, and Rock N' Roll was the tunes of the devil himself.
So long as children are raised knowing the difference between fantasy and reality, and right from wrong, it's all good.

their are many factors in which violence is involved with our children
lack of diciplin for one, not spanking or hiting mind you but a thing called your grounded and no tv/ gamestation/computer for you. and rewards for good things. i also grew up on games but didnt let it affect me becuase i know the diference between right and wrong becuase i was raised to know.
i also think that becuase the economy is down parents have to work more to keep the roof over the childs head and cant spend as much time with the children so to get more attention the child acts out. so what we can do for our children is just spend time with them but not to much time with them. otherwise they will either be mama boys/girls. or come to resent you. make a family night were you watch movies together(out of a draw system so its not all one persons choice) and generaly let your children know you care.

Personally, I think what affect most for children is that they understand and witness the killing of animals with knifes and lots of different ways is okay... so basically killing become alright as they grow up. It becomes human nature while it can swing other ways. Really depends who teach the new generation of human beings.
It's a sad world but we can always hope for better next generation, more passion and less weapons = better.
I don't believe anybody who cast/direct/write those television programmes wasn't a child before. They understand it's alright because it's alright. Why was it alright and it is still alright? Because killing is legal (as long as you find a reason to it??! I really can't find a good reason to kill. But people kill for so called food that damage our health and Earth? Kill for the so called justice? Killing because it's not normal in their eyes of judgement? Killing for control what don't belong to them?? Most people just don't get these are not good enough ways to give excuse for killing)
