How does television cause violence? Is television the only mechanism that convey's violence to the young? I know of some books that where forced reading in elementary/middle school that where somewhat violent

I've found through my college experience that the girls that give it up the easiest are the ones that lived in overly strict households. Problem being they don't have experience interacting with boys properly. Build up enough self esteem and it shouldn't be a problem as long as they're street smart. Even all the cartoons are composed of ****** innuendos. It's the liberal media! I blame Justin Timberlake for bringing the sexy back... there was already too much to begin with.

I cannot think of a time when there when *** was not a signifcant part of pop-culture. Even the ancient cave men drew pictures of *** and violence.

Are you serious? Think about it for a second.........if a child that is younger watched people being shot and what not they get the wrong impression. In television they aren't able to tell the difference between good and bad.

Here just read one of my references:

That TV does not differeniate productive TV from non-productive TV. I think it is perfectly acceptable for a child to see violence, as long as it is narrated by a parent....where a parent could explain the difference between reality and fantasy. Or to expound upon the points of the story. I refuse to believe that watching TV inherently causes these problems and from what I gained from your link, they don't mention parent-guided TV.

As weird as this may sound............my parents were very similar to how you are as far as movies and tv goes. I wasn't really allowed to watch a lot of tv and if we were watching movies and a *** scene came up my parents skipped to the next chapter. I just did an argument paper on kids and TV so that's why I'm so informed with what's going on right now.
Television can also cause violence and obesity //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. I just think parents should be smarter with what their kids watch.

Not sure what the wink was for. Her kids are 10 and 11 and both weigh 55 pounds each and eat like horses.

If that was ment for me, and I wouldn't call myself obese being I weigh 240 pounds now. Hell even at 330 I didn't look that big. Mine is my genes from my moms side of the family, has nothing to do with TV. I used to watch the shit out of TV back in the day though, but was avid in sports.

actually the wink wasn't directed towards you at all....I was just simply saying //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

There used to be a time that television content was based on a time frame. Shows with a lot of ****** and violent content used to be relegated to the late hours; a time when TGIF had shows made specifically for family.

I agree with this. I may tell my kids to turn their heads when a *** scene is on, but they do watch some violent and scary movies from time to time. The thing is explaining to them what is real and what is not. The girls know that it is just a movie and what not. They also watch the news with us at times and know that the world is a crazy place. When they have a ? about something, they ask and we tell them. You have to be real with your kids, but I don't think I should take TV time away from them because it is too violent. They could watch the news and get that and is real. Thank god they know how to tell the difference.

Ummm, I have more than 10 channels on my cable company that is all based on family. I could name them, but I don't think I could remember them all.

I agree that violence is on a lot of early programs, but that is up to the parent to put on the parental lock. I refuse to put that on. Nothing wrong with showing your kids the rights and wrongs in life which happens to come out on TV. Like I said all you have to do is watch the news.

Too bad, I would have liked to read it.

The problem is that you can block it at home, but you can't block it everywhere. You can take your kids into a television store and run into some uninvited ****** exposure. And your kids friends will have seen something and talk about it in school... and your kids will visit those friends houses and be exposed. The problem is that you can't lock kids in a box, and when you do... it becomes even worse when they get out of that box. They become the victim.
