All he can do now is reflect on his actions, admitting to himself that he let the TV violence and media influence him into committing that fatal action. There are many ways to avoid this situation of ever occurring again, and the first step to do is to monitor what your child watches on TV and making sure to read the label of a video game carefully before purchasing it. You can also limit their time on this virtual platform and encourage them to register in after-school activities or sports so they can engage in human interactions rather than online.  Next time you turn on the TV, make sure that the violence demonstrated stays on the screen and doesn't expand into the real world.

After turning on his TV, he commits 3 crimes after 3 hours. First he kills 12 people with his shotgun, second, he steals a car, and third, he sells a women to a complete stranger. His actions had no negative consequences, for this was his daily routine. Johnny walks up the stairs. His mom is in the kitchen making supper. With an annoyed tone, she asks him to complete his chores he has been putting off for the past few days. Johnny’s mind snapped. Why was she always picking on him? He pushes her, maybe with a little too much strength. She fell backwards, and  hit her head against the marble counter. A loud crack was heard as her skull opened and thick red blood started oozing out of her head. This instinct behavior is directly related to media violence as to be seen in this following article. ]]> 2017-01-27 16:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaatheoret/51osdh0rp3r4/wish/149922561 Image and caption karinaatheoret https://padlet.com/karinaatheoret/51osdh0rp3r4/wish/149924531 Kids who are regularly exposed to the violence in video games and TV shows are prone to be more agressive.]]> 2017-01-27 16:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaatheoret/51osdh0rp3r4/wish/149924531 Body #2 - Damaging the brain karinaatheoret https://padlet.com/karinaatheoret/51osdh0rp3r4/wish/149926048 Many research have proven that media violence has irreversible damaging to the brain. In fact, according to Huffington post, an average American child will spend roughly 50 hours in front of a screen per week. The same site states that whenever you watch something, the part of your brain that controls imagination is captivated by what you’re watching to the point how you react emotionally to what you’re seeing will be as if it were happening to you directly. Scary right? Dr. John P. Murray concluded that there is a special relationship between the chemistry of the brain and media violence. Viewing violence plays with the part of your brain that is responsible for “arousal/attention, detection of threat, episodic memory encoding and retrieval, and motor programming”.  Another way of seeing it, is that the brain will tend to recreate what the person has seen on television, similar to how a person with post-traumatic stress disorder interacts on a daily basis. Furthermore, Dr. Craig A. Anderson found that witnessing violence, on and off screen, increases physical and verbal aggression on a long term basis. So, with that being said, watching violent acts on a screen has negative consequences on the brain by altering its way of functioning. Think of it as a remote control that has a many buttons yet only has an impact on one thing. ]]> 2017-01-27 16:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaatheoret/51osdh0rp3r4/wish/149926048 Body arellaramirez2000 https://padlet.com/karinaatheoret/51osdh0rp3r4/wish/149926891 Body #1:
 According to Caroline Karr parenting editor for Common sense media, only 10% of movies, 32% of video games and 40% of tv shows do not involve some type of violence. These statistics are terribly low. Given these points, the fact that kids under the age of 8 watch an average of 1h40 minutes of tv daily is alarming. Young children are still on the road to developing and their exposition to violence make them more likely to suffer from attachment problems, regression behavior, anxiety, depression and conduct problems( Child Trends). These problems may seem small, but they are long lasting not to mention the professional support they will need to overcome them. Therefore, young children are indirectly changing on a daily basis just by having access to media.
