"TELEVISION VIOLENCE"

                 Watching in television can entertain us but nowadays it can really harm us or it gives negative effects on us. Television Violence is a controversial topic nowadays because of its bad effects on children. Children act violently to the people around them and they imitate what they've seen on the television.  Everything that they see in television shows or hear  in the media can really affect their lives in different ways.  Although some people don't agree that violence on television has negative effects on children , there are some studies that are proven and being made to overcome this problem.   

Based on my research ,here are some negative effects on children of seeing violence on television:

• Children become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others . - It is because they are already exposed with too much violence and it really changes what they do and think to the other people. 
• Children become fearful of the world and the people around them - Guns, knives, criminals and other things related to violence they saw from the television shows might fear them. They might think that there are criminals everywhere. They might think that many people around them are harmful that's why they are afraid to interact with others.
• Children might be too aggressive toward others, they can lose their respect to the adults and it is because they behave negatively. They easily imitate the scenes on what they saw from the television shows that has violence. 

            The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids should only watch not more than  two hours a day.  Yes , television can help children to learn but parents should always be aware in what shows their child is watching. They should always guide their child  and  parents should be responsible enough.They should not let their child watch alone or see violence on television.  Their child's future is on their hands so they should really guide and protect their child. Parents should teach them how to be a responsible and independent individual.
