1. It's oK for children to watch violence in animated rV shows and movies. n !

6. Parents should watch and discuss violent TV programs with their n n
very young children.
The forecast is for rain all weekend, so I thought I'd rent some movies
for the kids to watch. When we looked at the movie list on the television,
my nine-year-old son clicked on the new release section. Every movie he
picked had a gun or an explosion in the picture. My six-year-old wanted a
movie based on one of his favorite toys. He begged me to rent it, "Please,
Dad. I have the toys. Why can't I see the movie?" But this movie is not
for children. According to the reviews l've read, it's very scary and pretty
bloody. We decided to rent a popular animated film I found in the family
section, but even that had fighting in it. And the violent scenes were also
silly and funny. Frankly, I think that's sending kids a bad message.
I was so upset that I decided to do some research on children and
media violence. Did you know that between the ages of four and eighteen,
the average child sees 200,000 acts of violence on W and other media-
including 40,000 murders? Also, 60 to 90% of the most popular video
games have violent subject matter. Another study found that 61% of
television programs show some violence, and 43%o of these violent scenes
are used to make people laugh!
Why can't the entertainment industry make kids' movies and W shows
that are actually appropriate for kids? And when will they stop selling toys
based on violent movies and video games that young children should not
see or play? Maybe next time it rains, I'lltake my kids to the library instead!

Topic sentence:
People don't imitate the behavior they see in movies. Would you try jumping from the
roof of one tall building to another because you saw it in an action film? We live in a violent
world. Just open any newspaper-or history book. What happens in real life is more violent
than what happens in movies, and violence is not new. Violent entertainment has been
around for a long time. Think about the gladiators in ancient Rome.
Why do some people think violence in movies is harmful? Why do others think it isn't? Complete
