The effects of Violence on TV

Many people believe that television violence has a negative effect on society because it promotes violence, whether in children, adolescents and elderly. It would not hurt to say that people with certain mental health problems who are violent are more dangerous than people who do not have any mental disorder. It is for these and other reasons, which I totallyagree that TV violence has no positive effect to the society.

Early studies on the possible deleterious effect of television on human aggressive behavior originate in the United States in the mid-twentieth century. If you review all the studies done since then to date on audiences, we see time and again that most television viewers considered that television can cause harmful effects.

The audiovisual media, specifically television, are disturbingly violent. According to the Center for the Study of Violence in Spain, a way to learn a behavior is observations. Therefore, the violence displayed by the media contributes to the occurrenceof adverse effects on viewers. Especially in children, as they watch TV to get ideas, learn about good and bad and to feel in order to spend time in a pleasant and entertaining.

One of the tasks of adolescence is to develop a sense of continuity and historical context.
