Media Mid-Term:

“How does the media affect on the children and violence in the United States”

The effect of the media on the kids became a major problem in the United States. In United States, kids are spending most of the time in front of TV. Most of them watch television programs and the others are playing games. Well, the media shouldn’t actually effect on the children that much as it is now. We have parental control on the television programs, ratings on the movies and video games. But, we don’t actually take any of them seriously. Most of the parents are busy with their work every day. They don’t really have time to think of controlling the television programs and video games that their children are playing and watching every day. That’s reason why it became the major problem in the United Sates. Video games are actually restricted because they ask you for the ID when you go to buy R-rated video games in the stores. So, how do you think the children get access to play those games? I am sure that parents buy them for their children. Most of the parents don’t check the ratings when they buy games for their children. They just want their children to spend their time as the way they like when the parents are out for work. They don’t seriously think that the video games can affect their children’s mind and life style.

There is one more important thing I want to talk about. That is about computers and internet affect on the children.
