The Effects of Violence Programs on Television

Along human’s life, there is no more beautiful and impressing
thing than a childhood. Adults always keep it in their mind and they
tell it happily with a pride.

Recently, however, psychologists and socialists believe that
childhood is facing a collapse and will just remain a story. In the
future, children will not find their sweet childhood, which should be the
most important thing to define their personality.

By presenting programs which shows immorality and violence,
Western mass media is now breaking the wall between childhood and
adulthood. This phenomenon not only occurs in western countries but
also in developing countries because of a strong infiltration of western
media all over the world. In other words, today’s children are allowed
to watch any television programs even the adult’s. This, of course, will
cause a bad impact for the children.
