  11. Worldwide, violence is used as a tool of manipulation and also is an area of concern for law and culture which take attempts to suppress and stop it. The word violence covers a broad spectrum. It can vary from between a physical altercation between two beings where a slight injury may be the outcome to war and genocide where millions may die as a result. a definition (wikipedia) Violence • VIOLENCE is the expression of physical or verbalforce against self or other… • Any compelling action against one's will on pain of being hurt.

  12. Let’s ask the kids • “Violence is fighting, swearing, killing, shooting, wrestling, boxing or hurting someone.” - Jack and Erin • “Violence is killing, fighting, war, smashing people, bashing, gangsters, axes and talking roughly.” – Jess and Braeden • “Violence is killing, punching, deadly behaviour, hurting others physically or maybe even mentally and fighting.” - Sally and Tony

  13. Underbelly Ben 10 Merlin Bones NCIS Vampire Diaries Ghost Whisperer CSI Home and Away the football Cold Case Supernatural South Park. What are some of the violent shows on TV that you have seen?

  14. Pirates of the Caribbean Robocop Avatar Harry Potter series Twilight Saga Ironman Resident Evil Alice in Wonderland Revenge of the Fallen Zombie World Transformers I Am Legend Predator The Matrix Terminator III Diehard. What are some of the violent movies that you have seen?

  15. Why is violence shown on TV or in movies? • for entertainment • to show people that the goodies always win while the criminals get what they deserve • for moral reasons • to send a message that it is wrong • to make the show exciting and give it action • to win ratings • so when you grow up you don’t do it • without violence a show would be boring • some people enjoy being scared • to make money for the people in TV land.

  16. “What difference do you think it would make if they didn’t have violence on T.V.?” • “It wouldn’t be as exciting.”

  17. Are kids aware of the effects violence on T.V. may be having on them? “Does violence on TV or in movies affect you?” • I don’t think so • Yes, so I close my eyes when I see it • No. It doesn’t make me want to hurt anyone • No, it’s just part of the show • Yes, it scares me • No. My parents make me leave the room if there’s too much of it on.

  18. Violent images in film, TV and video games are becoming increasingly common.. ..and the way these images affect children has concerned some child psychologists. Dr. Janet Hall joined TODAY on 22nd April 2010 to talk about some of her findings:

  19. Your estimate… • How many violent images will the average child be exposed to BEFORE commencing primary school?

  20. By the time a • child enters primary school, • they will be exposed to • around: • 100,000 violent images.

  21. Nearly 20% of Australian children under the age of 7 have at least 1 form of media in the bedroom (TV, video/DVD, computer, game console, etc.) • -at an age they are not old enough to decide what is suitable for them to view.

  22. “Children observe violence in news, films, television shows, games, and most commonly cartoons (eg: “Ben 10”)….”

  23. “….it is important for parents to supervise children” “…and limit their time exposed to media.”

  24. Your estimate… • How many hours per day is the average Australian child / teen (8-18) exposed to T.V.?

  25. “Australian children and teens aged eight to 18 spend an average of four hours a day watching TV ….”

  26. Your estimate… • How many hours per day is the average Australian child / teen using a computer or playing video games?

  27. “Australian children and teens spend an additional two hours every day using a computer or playing video games….”

  28. But…. “… young children's minds are not developed enough to filter violent images.” …or are they? Think about the violence in shows we watched as kids…

  29. As a result: “..children become desensitised by violence in film, television and video games…”

  30. effects: this desensitisation can transfer into real life, resulting in: a loss of empathy for others.

  31. Other research… • research undertaken by Nemours, American Health Organisation • The Nemours Center for Children's Health Media, creates KidsHealth.org • “Kids may become desensitized to violence AND more aggressive.” • “TV violence sometimes begs for imitation… • …because violence is often promoted as a fun and effective way to get what you want.”

  32. Concerns… • “Many violent acts are perpetrated by the "good guys, • whom kids have been taught to emulate.” • “Even though kids are taught by their parents that it's not right to hit, • television says it's OK to bite, hit, or kick if you're the good guy.” • “This can lead to confusion when kids try to understand the difference between right and wrong.” • “And even the "bad guys" on TV aren't always held responsible or punished for their actions.”
