There have been many studies done on the effects of violence on children. Violent movies can cause children to become violent and anti-social. It can also cause a child to be scared all the time.

Yes they do, however it has been shown that the effects vary from child to child as each child is different and interprets what they are seeing differently. The main concerns with children watching violent films and playing violent videogames is that they will imitate what they see, become more fearful of the world around them as they begin to believe this violence is normal, and that they will become more emotionally insensitive to other poeples feelings and hurts.

little to none, there has not been any experiment on this subject that supports that violence in movies makes children more violent. little to none, there has not been any experiment on this subject that supports that violence in movies makes children more violent.

If a child is so severely affected by the media and your influence over them doesn't help then the child is not mature enough to understand real from fake and right from wrong and you have failed your job as a parent. Making the world violence free isn't the answer. Teaching your child to be mature is.

No. There is some argument that watching violence on screen creates the idea that violence is really not harmful.

The vision of violence on screen can make some people feel as if it's the best answer to every situation. The reality is very different.

It all depends on the child, and his or her maturity, background, even play habits. If the violence is pretty much remote-control, as in most Naval and some Air Force war pictures, no problems, Bombs Away!- Torpedo Loose! but no disturbing scenes of battle damage. On the other hand there is stuff out today that has graphic physical ( not remote or off-screen) violence that is the type of stuff that is readily absorbed into the juvenile delinquency variety- there is material in the Power Rangers ( who are not Parks Police) that is just straight out sock-em violence. There are definite limits. Movies are supposed to me enjoyment. stuff dealilng with such ( red Line) topics as Child abuse, juvenile Terminal illness ( some have been done on this sad line) and mindless terrorism and violence, these are no fun to watch. Use your own judgement.

Many thought it did but after research has been done it shows it does not. Children can tell what is reality and what is not. Psychologists found evidence of a link between interaction of violence on television and brain performance. Particularly, calm children who had been exposed to high levels of television violence showed less activity in the frontal cortex, the area of the brain related to attention and self-control. This pattern of brain activity was similar to that of adolescents identified with disruptive behavior disorder. Keep in mind that these observations were made shortly after contact to cartoon violence. However, the decisive question concerns the extent of the impact of seeing the violence over time, particularly if children are able to recognize cartoon violence as bizarre and corrupt. We do know that children see violent acts as behaviors that disturb the rights and well-being of others. In other words watching more tv may affect a child's study time and grades (common sense from time management) but over a course of time tv will not affect a child's perception of reality (law breaking has consequences) and fantasy (action without consequence)

Not always. Kids need to understand the difference between what is real and what is fake. Parents need to tell their children that violence is NOT acceptable in real life.

Should parents be able to use violence to control there children why?

No, violence is never the answer. It might work at first, but after a while the effect wears off and the fighting can escalate into a dangerous situation. Talk it out instead, it can't be that hard.


How has MPAA ratings changed since 1980?

http://www.filmratings.com/questions.htm#Q5 G - General Audience. All ages admitted. This signifies that the film rated contains nothing most parents will consider offensive for even their youngest children to see or hear. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of drug use are absent; violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may go beyond polite conversation but do not go beyond common everyday expressions. PG - Parental Guidance Suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents might not like to expose to their young children - material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are allowed to attend the film. Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug use are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and violence do not exceed moderate levels. PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate for pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting their younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard. R - Restricted-Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian (age varies in some locations). This signifies that the rating board has concluded that the film rated contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language, theme, violence, sex or its portrayal of drug use. NC-17 - No One 17 and Under Admitted. This signifies that the rating board believes that most American parents would feel that the film is patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to it. The film may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated film is obscene or pornographic.
