Parents and teachers are worried about the effect of

Television violence on children. Many children watch tele-
Vision for several hours every day, and even though they
are watching children’s programs, they are still confronted
With scenes of violence and terror. Whether this constant
exposure to violence encourages children to act more viol-
ntly themselves is not certain. there has been a general
increase in violence in society in recent years, but experts
have not been able to trace this trend directly to televi-
sion. Yet they point out that the situation is dangerous
because TV teaches children at a early age to accept viol-
ence as a natural part of life.
