Violence in Media and Parenting PSA

Violence is at an all time high in the United States. In the news, we hear and see an increasing number of reports about violence among children. Now asking ourselves where this behavior is originated, we quickly come to media as a scapegoat: TV violence, computer games and the Internet. Media violence makes up for a large amount of violence in children. However, its far too easy to say that a childs violent behavior is caused only by the media. Thats only an excuse, because this way parents dont have to blame themselves for neglecting their duty of education. There is a negative influence of visually explicit violence to a childs mind. Parents have to guide their children with their experiences, and that includes violence, no matter where experienced.
