Television Is the Cause of Violence Today

TELEVISION IS THE CAUSE OF VIOLENCE TODAY

1. ISNT IT THAT THE CAUSE OF VIOLENCE IS NOT TELEVISION OR THE MEDIA BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND OUR COUNTRY, THE HIGH CRIME RATE WHICH IS THE RESUT OF THE INEFFICIENCY OF THE PHIL GOVRNMENT?
WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND US IS MAYBE A CONTRIBIUTORY FACTOR BUT NOBODY CAN DENY THE FACT THAT ACCORDING TO GMA AND ABS CBN SURVEYS, 2 OUT OF 3 FILIPINOS WATCH TELEVISION ON A DAILY BASIS ON AN AVERAGE OF 3 HOURS A DAY. AGE RANGE FROM 9 TO 30 YEARS OLD. THE YOUNGER YEARS ARE FORMATIVE YEARS AND IF YOUNGSTERS WILL BE LEFT ALONE WHICH IS USUALLY THE CASE TO WATCH TV THEN ALL KINDS OF MOVIES – VIOLENCE, SEX, DRUGS IS JUST ONE PUSH BUTTON AWAY. TELEVISION IS INDEED ONE OF THE CAUSE OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY. IT MAKES A BIG IMPACT ON THE MIND NOT ONLY OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION BUT ALSO FROM ALL GENERATIONS.

2. VIOLENCE DOES NOT COME FROM WATCHING TV BUT COMES FROM THE UPBRINGING OF THE CHILD, THE BACKGOUND OF THE PEOPLE.
WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT THE CHILDHOOD AND THE FAMILY ARE AGAIN A MAJOR CONTRIBUTORY FACTOR, MEDIA OR TELEVISION FOR THIS MATTER IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE BECOME VIOLENT. THE DAILY EXPOSURE FROM YOUNGER YEARS OF MOVIES LIKE TRANSFORMER, HULK, AVENGERS ALTHOUGH WITH MORAL LESSONS STILL SHOWS VIOLENCE IN GETTING THEIR OBJECTIVE. THE REPETITIOUS WATCHING ON A DAILY BASIS EVEN WITH GUIDANCE MAKES A STRONG IMPACT ON THE MIND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING. THE PEOPLE ALTHOUGH HE KNOWS WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG, DUE TO SO MUCH EXPOSURE ACCEPTS THINGS SUCH AS VIOLENCE AS SOMEWHAT RIGHT AS SEEN IN TELEVISION. 3. VOILENCE DOES NOT COME FROM TV OR MEDIA BUT COMES FROM GROUPS LIKE FRATERNATIES WHO BELIEVES THAT BROTHERHOOD IS THE ANSWER TO NOT BEING ALONE.
TELEVISION AGAIN PLAYS A BIG FACTOR SINCE WE ARE USED TO WATCHING SHOWS WHICH PUT EMPHASIS ON BEING TOGETHER, GROUP GAMES, TEAMS, YOU NEED PEOPLE TO WIN. ALTHOUGH ON A POSITIVE NOTE THIS IS TRUE, FROM CHILDHOOD TO MATURITY, WE ARE MADE TO BELIEVE THAT FOR SO MANY THINGS, WE NEED TO DEPEND ON OTHER PEOPLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THE EMPHASIS ON DOING IT YOURSELF IS LOST WHICH LEAD TO BROTHERHOOD OR FRATERNITIES , WHICH LATER ON LEADS TO VIOLENCE.
