Violence of television
To begin with nowadays television takes serious place in our society. It is as a kind of entertainment and source of information. So it is being held as a positive issue. But on the other hand there is much violence on television. And of course it effects people.
Psychologists say that televised violence effects more children than adults, but in general it makes influence for all people. Researchers hypothesize that viewing TV violence can lead to three potentially harmful effects. First of all is aggression. Viewing televised violence can lead to increases in aggressive and antisocial behavior and changes in attitudes and values favoring the use of aggression to solve conflicts. Another factor is desensitization. Extensive violence viewing may lead to decreased sensitivity and a greater willingness to tolerate increasing levels of violence in society. People may become totally unconcerned with problems in real life and less care about other’s feelings. And the last but not the least effect is fear. Watching violence on television may cause the increase of fear of becoming a victim, produce the „mean world syndrome,“ in which viewers overestimate their risk of victimization.
