DOES VIOLENT MOVIES HAVE AN EFFECT?

SOME STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT 47% OF THE PARENTS THAT HAVE CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES 4 TO 6 HAVE SAID THAT THIER CHILDREN HAVE IMITATED VIOLENT ACTS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN IN THE MEDIA, EVEN THOUGH WHEN 87% OF CHILDREN ARE MORE LIKELY TO MIMIC GOOD BEHAVIOR.

SOMETIMES WHEN KIDS GET USED TO VIOLENCE THEY SEE IT AS IT WAS FUNNY AND AN EASY WAY TO SOLVE PROBLEM.

ALSO, THE TEENAGERS MAY THINK THAT VIOLENCE IN MOVIES DOESN'T AFFECT THEM, BUT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THIS LEADS TO BULLYING AT SCHOOL OR BAD BEHAVIOR AT HOME.
