Researchers and Childrens watching violent media

Childrens

 

 

Children’s know days are exposed to very violent media and parents don’t control it. All parents should pay really close attention to their children’s, because as they grow up they start learning from what they see. Anything that is showed on television has something to do with violence. Children’s try to imitate everything they see like those violent video games.

 

 For example if children’s have a fake gun in which they play they try to do the same thing that they do in the video games, trying to kill the opponents and everything that is on their way. Even though we might see this as a joke, it is true that people start little by little and if we see that why don’t we put a stop on it? We will see the kind of effects it has when childrens start to get in trouble or problems because they will react violently. 

The academy of pediatrics says that if children’s think that violence is normal, they can easily become offenders of victims. There have been several terrible incidents in the news where people kill or hit other people. In the research done of the aggressors they say that they have been exposed to violence and that they like to play video games, computer games, television,etc.

Video Games: show and almost teach people what to do for example in this research they talked about grand theft auto and that it’s all about violence, killing, stealing, prostitution.

Movies: The movie Matrix talks and teaches people about being violent towards others by being “The One”.

Television: If we pay attention to the type of announcements, shows, cartoons, we see some kind of violence.

Parents should get more involved with their children’s.  Playing video games, watching television, reading, doing homework sometimes parents do not see everything that their children’s/ teens are doing. They realize that they should of have paid more attention to them when they were young but sometimes it is too late to try to change the young adults ideas.

Researchers

James B. Warner III and Dolf Zillmann made a research to see if college students that were exposed to violence in the media could have a negative impact on their daily life.

At first researchers tested the “Primary Personality trait” of the 93 students (53 males and 40 females). Students did not know that they were getting researched about their reactions towards different violent as well as nonviolent situations, and how it reflected in their daily life.
 

The study consisted of two parts one was called “video rental study” and the other one was to help a professor decide if a new assistant should get financial assistance.

 

 

 

 

In the first part of the study the students had to watch 5 violent films and the others 5 nonviolent. Researchers wanted to see what kind of impact it had on the college students. In the second part they were to help a professor decide whether to help financially the new assistant or not. Weaver and Zillemann were amazed on how people that watched violent media

Both researchers were amazed on how watching violent films increased students to react violently into different situations. They even said that the assistant should not get financial assistance even though that did not have nothing to do with them.
 

in my opinion!

Watching violent media increases the hostile manner that people have. Violent media does don’t have a positive effect on people. People should try to avoid it. If by watching only 5 violent videos a week made students react violently, then imagine how it’s going to be if it becomes a daily routine to watch violent media.
