Violence in Television The way society is now days proclaims violence as an uncommon thing, along with swearing and drugs. Although there are views that violence can be linked to aggressive behavior in children, research can prove there are other factors, besides television, in which cause children to become violent. With the pros and cons being weighed, I believe there are other factors that cause children’s behaviors to become violent. It is natural for children to act out and behave in an unmannered fashion, to some degree, even under the best of circumstances and with the firmest discipline. You cannot discipline the nature out of a living human being (New York Time, 2013). The child’s behavior reflects the conditions in which the child is placed.

Sometimes, watching a single violent can increase aggression (Media Violence, 2009). Children who view shows in which violence is very realistic, or constantly repeated, or going unpunished, are more likely to repeat what they see. There are ways to protect a child from constant television violence, such as
