Here
are the results of my poll.
I
found out that ninety-five percent of the
young people I interviewed thought that
children imitated the things they saw on
television. Almost all of them said that
television affects children in this
way.
In addition, over three quarters of the
people polled believed that watching
violent programs on television would cause
children to behave aggressively. However,
only a little over half of those polled
agreed that parents should control the
kinds of programs that their children
watch on TV, and fewer than 40% of them
felt that the government should control
what children watched.
According
to the results of this poll, I concluded
that most young people think violence on
TV can have very negative effects on
children, but they are not in favor of
strong control of what children watch. It
would be interesting to conduct more
surveys to find out what young people in
other countries think.
