Violence on TV.

There is a strong consensus that exposure to media violence is a significant public health concern.
Exposure to violent depictions can cause desensitization to violence. This means that people may
become more willing to accept violence from others as well as to perpetrate violent acts themselves.
Overexposure to violence, and particularly realistically portrayed violence, may lead people to
believe that the world is primarily a dangerous and unsafe place. They may begin to overestimate
the possibility that they will be victims of violence, leaving them with undue anxiety and stress. the
Recent research evidence in this area establishes that the level of violence on television poses
substantial cause for concern.
