Everyone that is human and on this planet, Earth, have become who they are through the physical and mental traits they possess. Many features that we claim to be our own are stronger, or weaker, in other peoples lives. Traits that we know of in our lives, that we process, but do not realize we show are things like kindness, love, compassion, hate, obedience, and aggression. Out of the traits mentioned, you can teach all of these to others, and have a major or even minor influence on someones life. Through these traits you have the option of which ones you can pass down, which should be love, kindness, and compassion. I will agree people grow up in some bad areas, or have bad parental influences that have lead them down different paths. By going down these different paths you may learn to hate, and not love, and show strong aggression, instead of compassion and kindness. Some of the biggest differences that will cause the greatest devastation to our society is the aggression people can build up and take out on others in the community from hate. Research has told us many things about how we can pick up on certain traits and increase their strength but there is a certain trait of aggression that can sneak into our minds and effect us the greatest. We get this one for a lot of television and the social media we are exposed to daily. Through the results that I have found in my research, the probability is high that children who are exposed to violence, whether on the television, or in todays lifestyle, social media, have become less aware on how there thoughts and actions are being influences, and later leading into their adulthood to cause and commit crimes, like murdering and beating, and they have come through with the impressions seen on television.  

The cause of most problems of aggression was not from television before the 1930’s. The television was made and people from all around wanted one. Directors and producers started making violence bigger and it was wanted in more films as it was transforming. Violence was something people could watch more on television and not see any repercussions to in life. What everyone wanted was to see violence, but when they didn't know what kind of an affect it would have on their children and what they may grow into, or become from watching all of the violence on television. Like it was mentioned, it was not as big of deal because people didn’t see the influence that violence on television had on someone. Crime has always been increasing since the first crime was committed back in the time during Adam and Eve, and when their sons committed murder on one another. Many have thought that the way kids are raised is what turns them into who they become. They are absolutely correct. The things that are seen can be restricted through the parents. Violence and crime has only increased and we thank a lot of it to people trying to be like someone they saw in a movie, and watched how they used the moto literally, “get rich quick”. Half of our generation believes in the method, but not from stealing. So, as people have grown older they get the more desperate they get and television has influenced them to steal and kill, and the murders and thieves will not think twice about what they have done. The reason that they won’t think twice about what they have done is because they are very accustomed and numb to the idea of death. The theory behind all of the aggression that is being released is coming from a main source that most anyone can get a hold of, or be apart of, and that would be the social aspect of media, and what is seen on the television that we see everyday. Children are the root towards what is being seen in the adulthood. That statement was obvious, but what isn’t is for why adults turn into what they really are. Why do people turn into criminals? Why would someone ever have an idea of even killing a human, with the same life capabilities as the man with the hate and aggression in his heart? The root is the thing that we need to eliminate and kill off. The only problem is that we cannot just kill of the source because it helps so much of our economic background and we have accepted it into our lives. The thing we can do is regulate how much our children watch of television, and regulate what our children do watch on television when they are on it.  

We perceive something immediately in time with what it looks like and what that thing you saw has any importance to you. How you look at something and define what its purpose is to you and whether you except that definition is what you do with it after. How except violence that we see in our society is something that has definitely changed over the course of time and through the advancements in technology. Now, focusing on more of the mental side of this test, and figuring out why it truly is that we are so focused, and driven, on the focus of the violence that we see. We focus on violence in different ways. Some see this phenomenon as something that you can choose on whether what you see is good and bad, and whether it should be shown to a certain audience, for the younger or the older. Now the effectiveness of television violence is up to the viewers themselves.It all starts with the mind before actions are taken and the mind is what defines this problem. There was a research test done that showed that kids that watched their favorite shows were less likely to see violence as bad in their shows. ( Hartnagel ) In the research Hartnagel had performed for his test, he had to take in many different considerations in the process of finding out that television violence effects people differently. That sounds very vague and simple to understand everyone is different and understand things differently, but the different variables they brought into pay is very much needed. Cultures understand everything different. It isn’t as much as they understand everything differently, it is that each culture has their own point of view on different subjects and also have the same thoughts and emotions towards the same problems. So, the part that separates people is simply the basics, their gender,sex,ethnicity, and age. The age makes a bigger difference because we are more naive when we are younger and more swayed towards other things that seem adult. It is what happens when kids wanna be older and get to watch much more gore in a movie. This is why we needed to have age limits on movies to prevent these type of things happening. The sex makes a difference because girls are not really into the whole bloody mess, and violence, that is portrayed in movies, and they do not have as much as an affect in their life cause by the violence that is seen at a young age. Now this can be said in many ways of course, but this is the strongest way to point it out.  

Arguing against this claim is something rather smart, but something that can be done smoothly, it is not simple. There is a lot of research that has gone in to this, but I will say with you there is definitely a lot of superstition with other things that we watch and are around that influence the violence effete we have on our outside community and the society that we live in today. We have to let our kids make their own decisions as they grow up but we can still have  a major effect over their lives I do agree with that. It is very difficult to see how our society has turned into wild animals sometimes, and that is what is being portrayed in our society today. We copy what we see in the movies and on the social media way to much. It is difficult to pull away form what society has taught you to believe, and to pull that and make a good meaning out of what we are expected to know if difficult, There is a lot more to people becoming criminals, and not falling in the correct way of life, and stay strong in belief and living life even though it is hard. It is not solely based on just the media affecting us, or our children. It is something that we definitely need to pay more attention too.Everyone grows up different and we cannot always say we have the right to say what it is that the world is throwing at us and it is always getting harder to deal with this type of thing we are forced to down in our life.  

Why some people think there are so many other ways to try and fix the media problem, and what is shown on television is something I will not understand. It is extremely hard to think that just the media has such a grip on our lives and predicts, not really predicts, but sets a difficult path for our lives to know the true right from wrong. It has been extremely hard to find the truth behind why we do what we do, and not have second thoughts on that. We do not see it as daunting as it should be, but it is so dang hard to make the people realize that we are all influenced by differences and we must accept individual things that we sit fit in your own lives. So what is that we really see in the television that makes us so vulnerable to its master piece that work that gets into our mind. It is lowering our brain power, and is making kindness not stretch as far as it really should. We are put in such a place that we can choose to see what we want, but now it is just all around. Except what you see, and move on with that definition you have created for yourself and do not let it change who you are. The criminals have chosen wrong and they will make their affect on society and it is through more than just television violence. It is a choice.  

Televison violence is something that has come up as a reason behind violence and aggression in the lifestyle of many in the modern day culture. It is something that has a huge influence in how we live, and what we do with that influence and use it for the best of man kind is what makes the difference. Televise does have a major part in our culture in America, and it is mainly focused in America where we have the most television and social media that is pushed into our lives, and we are made to be who we are through our life choices, and nothing gets away from anyone anymore. The television does make a difference in our lives. I can not deny that the television and what it does to peoples personality, and how it makes you think differently is because of what you see is okay in the outside world it seems like, and that is the biggest problem that we see in the society that we have created. I say we a lot in this essay because we is the biggest part of  the problem. You have to come together to make a change or to put an end to anything dramatic and drug out into the light of the press or media, and you have to take what you read and put it into the best effect and not the worst. So, with a final say there is a big problem with how our kids are raised and what the television shows them at such a young age, and how the social affects their lives, but we must learn to turn their focus to something different, something besides the influence they are given from the worlds views.
