I believe the media promotes violence on television shows such as The Bad Girls
Club, Basketball Wives, and etc. For children, violent cartoons such as Tom and Jerry,
Fairy Odd Parents, and The Simpsons, etc., may lead to the child doing future violent
acts. The media shows "real life" situations, but at the same time it's like they're promoting
it or saying its okay to act like that or do the same stuff as the character in the cartoon.
"Children under the age of eight cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy, so they figure the violent acts they see on television is part of reality. Watching TV leads to more aggressive behavior amongst children."

You can prevent the media from making your children act out of violence
because they think it's okay because of TV. Teach your children the difference between TV programming and reality, as well as right from wrong. Don’t let your child become a victim or the cause of violence in your community. It’s your chance to prevent dangerous situations in your child’s future. Stop it now while you can and they’re still young. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
