TV violence
Article Abstract:
Youth exposure to violence is increasingly difficult to monitor with longer children's viewing hours and the variety of television broadcast formats available. The problem's relation to aggressiveness and violence in youth is not unnoticed, and several proposals to control violence in television have been presented by the political and public sectors. These proposals include a violence rating system and increased FCC regulation, although the latter raises fears of censorship. Broadcast networks showed their support with plans to minimize and properly present scenes containing violent materials.

Should the television industry do more to curb depictions of violence?
Article Abstract:
Media representatives contends that regulation violates freedom of expression. They also argue that violence in television is primarily an attempt to portray the true state of society and involve audience in the stories. On the other hand, critics believe the industry should seriously pursue self-regulation against of violent scenes. This suggestion is anchored on the argument that portrayals of violence may be confirming children's views of violence as a normal occurrence, desensitizing them to the problems violence breeds in society.
