Summary Response for New Views on Video Violence

In the article,"New Views on Video violence" bu Dorothy and Jerome Singer, the authors state that watching violence on TV has more negative effects on children than reading violent stories. First, the awful image of television frightens the life out of children more than horror books.do. Second, children tend to spend more time watching television programs. Third, many children already start to watch violence on television before reading about violent stories. In addition, a narrator can alter a story to quiet fears of children. Finally, readers can control the pacing of a book as they like. In conclusion, it is more dangerous for children to watch violence on television than to read violent stories. Following, I will talk about disadvantages of children watching violent television.
First,when children read a book, they imagine the story. On the other hand, television directly gives us concrete images. The violent scenes impress themselves on their memory. People memorize not happy events, but sad occurrences or dreadful scenes. A brain tends to memorize what it sees as it is. Especially, children remember murder or cruel incidents like Jason from Friday the 13th, even if they wantto forget it. Children unconsciously how to kill by watching television. Therefore, it occured that a young girl killed her friends in elementary school in Japan. On investigation, a violent movie affected the little murderer.
Next,television gives people violent images indiscriminately. In Japan, the number of horror movies increases every year. Last year, many parents protested against a commercial message of a horror film, Juon, because the advantage was too scary. Crying children came out one after another in Japan. As a result, the commercial was edited while being broadcast during prime time hours. On the other hand, children have to prepare for reading violent books. It is difficult for children to understand the portrait of books or read Chinese letters. If people want to read a violent book, they can buy it at a bookstore; however, people can not make a choice among a lot of programs.
Therefore,watching violence on television causes harmful consequences. Violent images tend to brand on children's memory. We have to check information whether it includes violence before children watch it. According to opinions, I agree that there is a great risk of being influences by watching violence on television.
