Who should be responsible for monitoring television programs?
Ultimately the parents are responsible for monitoring what their children are watching on
television. Obviously television stations can’t not have programs on because parents
don’t want their children watching the programs; there are those adults that would like to
watch those television programs. It is entirely the parents’ responsibility to monitor what
the children are watching.
What has research indicated are the effects of television violence
and sex on children and adults?
Children and adults are taking what is seen on television and distorting it into real-life
and creating a dark and sinister place. For example, violent games, children and adults
think that they can perform “cool moves” like beating people in the head with baseball
bats, which is an option in the popular Grand Theft Auto Series to kill a person and you
can also steal the persons car.
