Violence Depicted In the Media

There is endless controversy today concerning society being highly affected by media programs displaying violence. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) reports that violence in the media has increased since 1980 and continues to increase. Thousands of studies have pointed to a relationship between media violence and real life crime. Years of research show that exposure to media violence causes children to behave more aggressively, both immediately and in their adult years. …

…deadly. Children have always been more vulnerable to influence, thus the future of society depends on how our children view the world. By limiting the freedom of speech, in relation to media and violence, our world can become a safer place for everyone, and the generations to come can grow up peacefully. Society values safety, and by exposing our children to media violence we are placing the future of our nation on a thin rope.
