VH 4380 TV Violence and You
Summary: The effects on viewers of both blatant violence and subtle violence imagery are analyzed. We see how the disproportionate violence shown on the news makes viewers perceive their environment as more violent than it actually is. Violence in cartoons, which never appears to have consequences, is shown to hinder a child's ability to assess whether or not actions are potentially damaging. The put-down, frequently seen in sitcoms, is also discussed as damaging to viewers, because the violence that can result from such goading is rarely portrayed in the show. Violent relationships portrayed between men and women are analyzed within the context of the growing incidence of rape. Violence at sports events is also discussed. 030 Min.
