Effects of TV Violence on Children

Question: Describe about the Effects of TV Violence on Children. Answer: Introduction In todays generation, children watch more TV than ever. They just love being a couch- potato and given a chance can watch TV all day long! Children watch a typical of four hours of TV on a daily basis. Television, being a powerful source of influence on children, is projecting negative effects on children through its alarmingly rising violent content. Through this research work, a study would be done on its related causes and the effects on children and how it affects the behavioral pattern (Wosje et al., 2009). This study is quite relevant and important to the field of Business/ Management Studies as what children perceive and understand can impact their thought process and the way they explore, perform, and interact with parents and others, and can help in better learning. This also aids in a healthy physical and social development (Fusco, 2015). Exposure to certain types of information and violent shows can affect a childs capacity to be active bodily, relate with others and spend some time with his/her, family or peers. Nowadays there are many shows which do not distinguish between moral and immoral, right or wrong, what is appropriate and what is not. So generally, children pick up all the wrong clues and accept them to be legit. Nobody tells them about the consequences of these actions. When enquired about shows evaluated as informative/educational, it was reported by the children about learning socio-emotional things rather than information or reasoning things. It is evident that maxi mum music videos contain interpersonal violence, and adolescent children love watching these. We now know that children do have an extensive and role-modeling capacities. The fact that the child prefers to enact the violence rather than just be an observer, is of special concern to specialists. The ground of media violence is a new borderline where doctors can encourage health over community schooling and support (Fusco, 2015). Limitation It was difficult to conduct questionnaires face-to-face with working parents. The feelings of children who are the real subject of discussion have not been considered. The report has drawn conclusions only based upon the opinions of parents. Maybe interviewing the children who are TV fans can help researchers better understand what kind of influence violence shows have on children (Schaeffer and Presser, 2003). Recommendation Children have a very curious mind and they constantly need some form of entertainment to keep them busy and thinking actively. Parents play the biggest role in guiding their children. Through spending more and more quality time and interacting with children, parents can feed the curious minds of their offspring and prevent them from being negatively influenced by TV violence.
