Description
This document discusses the effects of exposure to media violence on children. There is a large body of research that documents the way in which exposure to television influences children, however, the media that children are exposed to is broader than television alone. It also attempts to extrapolate from these findings to speculate on how changes in medium and technology may alter the way that children are affected.
