READING SELECTION: Viоlence in the Mediа – Psychоlоgists Study TV аnd Video Gаme Violence for Potential Harmful Effects Excerpt of article from the American Psychological Association. Complete article located at http://www.apa.org/research/action/protect.aspx. Virtually since the dawn of television, parents, teachers, legislators and mental health professionals have wanted to understand the impact of television programs, particularly on children. As a result of 15 years of “consistently disturbing” findings about the violent content of children's programs, the Surgeon General's Scientific Advisory Committee on Television and Social Behavior was formed in 1969 to assess the impact of violence on the attitudes, values and behavior of viewers. The resulting report and a follow-up report in 1982 by the National Institute of Mental Health identified several negative effects of seeing violence on television. With the rise of new gaming technology and online platforms such as Roblox, additional concerns have emerged, including exposure to inappropriate content and potential risks to children’s safety. Do you think that violent or inappropriate content in television shows and online games should be censored in some way to protect children?
