Abstract
The paper discusses how violence has always been an integral part of the television cartoon format. The paper explores research on the effects of violence on children and shows how younger children tend to be more deeply affected by televised violence than older children. The paper maintains that the correlation between television violence and the development of aggressive patterns of behavior obligates parents to become involved in the monitoring of violent scenes for their young children.

Introduction
The Increasing Amount of Violence in the Media
Research on the Effects of Violence of Children
The Role of Parents
From the Paper
"Violence has always been an integral part of the television cartoon format and there is an increasing acceptance of media violence in our society. It is as if we have become inured or immune to scenes of violence. This also applies to accepted violence in cartoons aimed at very young children. As one critic states: " Every Disney cartoon I watch is violent. They all have very dark scary moments." ( Dickinsin A. 2000, p.90) Numerous studies also emphasize the connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in children. Experts state that there is no doubt about the relationship between television violence and the development of aggressive tendencies in children."

Abstract
This paper explores how several factors directly relate to the likelihood that children will be subjected to violence at some point during their lives. In particular, it looks at how social, economic, demographic, and physical factors all have a dramatic impact a child?s development, either positive or negative, and how these factors also influence whether or not a child is more or less likely to be subjected to violence. It examines how children living in high risk environments typically serviced by human service agencies, including poverty stricken areas and foster care living arrangements, are among the children who are at increased risk for violence and abuse; children subjected to violence are much more likely to subsequently exhibit violent behavior later in life as well. It argues that it is the responsibility of caregivers and human services professionals to identify patterns leading to abuse and to teach children and parents to cope with the stressors that increase the likelihood that violence will occur.
From the Paper
"Some additional and alarming statistics reveal that in 1997 the National Health Center for Health Statistics ?listed homicide as the fourth leading cause of death for children ages 1 through 4, third for ages 5 through 14 and second for children aged 15 up? (NCHS, 1997). Violence seems to be occurring at a more rapid pace for very young children, those 5 and under. When social services is not available to intervene, this age group is the least likely to have resources to defend themselves, and thus often suffer the most. Children subjected to violence at this young age to exhibit more disturbed behaviors later on in school and in life. Many are incarcerated for committing crimes at a young age, and are released to society without ever having learned proper nurturing tools with which to survive."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the relationship between viewing violence in the media and children's behavior. Specifically, it addresses the context in which violent images are portrayed and how those images affect long-term behavioral development in children. The hypothesis is that children's behavior is influenced not only by the amount of violence they view regularly, but also by the context in which they view violent behavior. It also hypothesizes that viewing violence affects children in a negative manner.
From the Paper
"Many television programs and other media venues such as cinema and radio often portray violence in an acceptable, if not positive light. Children by nature learn from imitation, exposure and experience. Children who see their favorite action heroes committing acts of violence and aggression in the media are more likely to act out on their own violent and aggressive impulses. Children also have less ability to control their impulses."

From the Paper
"Studies have shown that violence in the media does impact children's behavior, more often than not in a negative manner. Part of the problem is that children now have more access to television than they have ever had in the past. According to one report, as many as "54% of U.S. children have a television set in their bedrooms" (Mediascope, 1996 & BBG, 1997). When children watch television in their bedrooms, the content of the programming they are viewing can't be monitored closely enough to ensure appropriate viewing habits. Parents are often oblivious to the amount of violence their children are actually viewing with such ready access to TV. "

Abstract
This paper explores television violence and its effects on children. It addresses how TV manipulates the minds of children, causing them to act in more aggressive and violent manners. The author argues that TV violence distorts children?s minds into believing that violence is a healthy and acceptable way of dealing with problems.
From the Paper
"There are many different supports for both sides of this issue. Those who believe that TV does have a major affect on children support their belief with the notions thusly: television violence and aggression lead to violent and aggressive behavior in children, witnessing violence on TV shapes and desensitizes the child’s view of the world, and television manipulates the mind of the child (Wood, 1999, p. 317). Those who conclude that TV violence plays no part in the aggressiveness of children base their assumptions on the theory stating that violence and aggression in youth is a result of an improper upbringing (Associated Press, 1999, p. 6A). They believe that children adapt their behavior from those that they are in human contact with most often. Another poignant support for television is that it is an extremely effective educational medium. They feel that the positive aspects of television far outweigh the negative ones (Kalin, 1999, p. 2). Lastly, there’s the “catharsis theory” which thoroughly supports the use of television violence in all programs. It claims that TV violence reduces the viewer’s aggressive behavior when dealing with real life situations (Comstock, 1978, p. 188). Statistics can back up both sides of the issue, and so can emotions. The issue of the affects of television violence on our nation’s youth is a very heavy and controversial topic with many possible conclusions."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that children learn from television that the easiest way to resolve personal problems and conflicts with others is through violence. There seems to be a clear connection between increasing violence in schools and society generally, and the content of television programs. The writer states that it also appears that the majority of parents do not believe that this continual exposure to violence is harmful to their children's development. The writer then points out that there is a significant increase in children's tendencies to aggression as a result of TV violence, which is demonstrated by social psychology research, the very strong evidence of longitudinal studies relating to children's aggression, and evidence from other types of research. The writer concludes that parents and concerned citizens need place pressure on the mass media to produce responsible programming.

Introduction
Social Learning
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Violence is increasing in schools and colleges all across North America, and our whole society is accepting of violence. Children learn rapidly because they absorb information but lack the ability to discriminate between the messages that they are receiving. As Tulloch maintains, many forms of violence such as police violence depicted on TV are complicated social dilemmas. The existence of these problems does not indicate the society's attitude to violence but instead demands moral judgment and understanding of social meanings. Children obviously do not have the maturity to place this violence in context. Children learn from TV programs that the simplest way to resolve a dispute is through using fists or guns. However, messages about violence are received through a process. Based on the social cognitive model, aggressive behavior is preceded by a number of steps of information processing."

Abstract
This paper discusses the dangers of violent television programming that have been influencing children within the family unit. The author examines different media of this type of cultural violence and the government and television corporation regulations that allow this type of programming. The paper evaluates the research on violence and children within the family unit to gain a greater understanding of why censorship and monitoring groups have played a greater role in regulating violence in the mass media construct. This paper concludes that the various aspects of classical conditioning, aggressive personality acquisition and other psychological factors compromise the total scope of how mass media television plays a large role in conditioning children.
From the Paper
"The premise of censorship has arisen due to the nature of television programming, which is available for children to watch alongside their elders. The problematic solutions for media violence and personality identifiers are the main objective in gaining a greater sense of rights for how children should be perceived in TV and film programming. The negativity of studies on media representations reveals why children should have a larger role in creating policies for televised and media based programs to give a more positive psychological affirmation to their behaviors."

From the Paper
"Violent programming has increased 14 percent on broadcast networks and 10 percent on cable. Shelton (1998) further states that about 90 percent of programming on cable services such as Cinemax, Showtime and HBO, depicts violence. Research suggests that the context in which violence is portrayed is an important factor in assessing its impact on children; when the violence is perpetrated by an attractive character, the chances are increased that viewers will become desensitized to aggression or become fearful of violence in their own world. Cartoon violence, which is endemic in children's programming, has the potential to seem realistic to children younger than 7 because they cannot easily differentiate between reality and fantasy, thus posing a special concern (Shelton, 1998)."

Abstract
Children watch television a great deal, and are thereby exposed to the violence depicted on TV screens.
This paper discusses the claim that there is a causal connection between the amount of violence children watch on TV and how much it affects their behavior, pointing out that, while this claim has been challenged by some researchers, there seems to be considerable evidence that there is a serious problem here.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of televised violence on children and questions whether a problem exists at all. It provides a literature review of the sources available and background research in the field. It also examines the implications of such a research and need for further study in the field. The paper focuses on research that is available dealing with the impact of television violence on aspects of child development.
From the Paper
"Statements about the impact of televised violence are not always supported by the research, but may sometimes reflect people's opinions about that issue. There is also a great deal of uncertainty about the impact of televised violence on developing brains, and contradictions within the literature regarding the impact of watching televised violence on children's behavior. Thus, in looking at two different books on child development, I found many different opinions, but little discussion of the available research. One asserted unequivocally that watching televised violence has a variety of negative effects (Leach, 1997). The other book was more equivocal noting that there was not adequate research regarding the impact of too much video viewing, in general, on attention problems in children, and that we really do not know what television and video do to the growing brain, even though there are likely to be neurological consequences with any repeated exposure to a stimulus (Healy, 1994)."

Abstract
This paper examines the claim that children's repeated exposure to high levels of media violence negatively impacts their ability to resolve conflict peacefully. Research is presented that supports this view. The opposite perspective is also examined, with experts cited who believe violent behavior reflects the mores of society, not just what is seen through the media. Further statistics are evaluated, such as the degree of violence on television and the amount of time and exposure a child has to such programs. The author also explores the child's interpretation of consequences of violent behavior as viewed through the media. The paper concludes that violent programming negatively affects children, however it is not completely to blame when it comes to children and their responses to violence.
From the Paper
"Despite Eron's research claims that media violence negatively affects young children and adolescents, other research conveys the exact opposite. According to Michael Males, the vast amount of complaints against media violence "are misdirected" and that research into the effects of media violence "is unreliable and proves only a minimal relationship between media violence and real-life aggression." Males supports his argument to a great extent by pointing out that youth violence has much more to do with the general violent tendencies of American society. According to the American Humane Association, "One million American children are violently injured, sexually abused or neglected every year by adults. . .one million children are raped every year. . ." facts which Males purports "have been roundly ignored by the same media outlets that never seem to be short of space to berate violent rap lyrics."

Psychological Affects of Domestic Violence on Children, 2002.
An examination of various studies which determine the possible psychological affects of domestic violence on children.

Abstract
This paper begins by providing statistics of how common domestic violence is in the home. In turn, the writer states that these high numbers expose an enormous number of children to affects of domestic violence. The paper discusses the various affects which range from developing violent tendencies themselves, low self-image, aggression in problem solving, behavioral problems and even suicide.
From the Paper
"In the area of psychological research there a thousands of pressing questions, yet among all those questions one rises to the top of the list. In the area of family psychology and family therapy the question of the psychological affects of domestic violence on children has been hotly debated and eternally researched, yet many questions remain unanswered. These questions are pressing as the institution of family in our culture evolves and emerges as an entirely different social dynamic than existed even twenty years ago. The psychological effects of violence, in the family upon children are vast and will probably always need further address. Many families garner a different definition as more and more family units are head primarily by one parent and many families combine to become families consisting of several members who are related only by law, rather than by genetics. These trends began many years ago but continue to change the face of the American family today and will no doubt continue to do so in the near and far future. In this proposed study the issues of the psychological effects of domestic violence upon children will be addressed through diligent research. The problem has been clearly assessed for at least the last ten years and possibly longer as more and more information about developmental psychology leads to clearer and clearer indications of causation between parental behavior and children?s behavior."
