It is often said that TV violence increases youth violence. Is this right? What many people do not know is the degree of influence that television has on his kids and teenagers.
Unfortunately, much of today's programming is violent, which means that young people who consume such programs can become "immune" to the horror of violence, accept violence as a way of solving problems, imitate the violence they see on television, or identify with certain characters, whether they are victims or abusers.
Based on that, we can absolutely say that young people can be affected and influenced by the content they see on television. If there wasn't so much violence in the programming, probably the level of violence would drop.
In my opinion, everything can affect children and young people and the consumption of violence both on television and in video games does not help to reduce aggressions. However, I do not think television is responsible of youth violence either, since most violent images reflect some reality, so I think the best thing would be to fix those problems first.
To sum up, television is a further contributor to the use of violence by adolescents but it is not the main cause.
