"The Impact of Electronic Media Contents on Aggressive Behavior of Children: A Critical Study"

Social Science

The media has a troubling ability to affect multiple facets of the safe growth of children adversely, including violent emotions, attitudes and social alienation. Children who perceive in the media that people show a particular violent behaviour, such as kicking, are more likely to immediately perform the same aggressive behaviour. Media abuse affects public health as well as it leads to an rise in violence and hostility in the real world. We also recently found that television abuse and violent video games have had a very negative effect on children and their actions on a regular basis. Several empirical data has accumulated that shows that tv, film, video games , mobile phones, and internet exposure to aggression raises the likelihood of violent activity on the part of the audience just as growing up in an atmosphere rife with actual violence raises the risk of violent behaviour. This empirical data is objectively analysed in the present analysis, and the theoretical hypothesis is elaborated to understand why exposure to aggression has adverse consequences both in the short and long term. Finally, to estimate how serious a hazard it can be considered, the scale of the' media violence impact' is contrasted with several other well-known threats to society. The present study focuses on the relationship between media violence and its effects on children’s aggressive behavior which they portray by observing violent material directly or indirectly. This study is based on several other studies conducted in the same or related fields.
