1. How do you think we can contribute to reducing violence in television? What steps
can be done to reduce violence?
So, what can parents do to protect school-age kids from violence in the media? Here
are some strategies for screening and choosing the media content your child is exposed to.
• Explain the meaning of violence, and explain to them how unrealistic it is for people
to get away with violent behavior.
• Do not let an individual spend too long with virtual violence. We can minimize the
influence of media on the children when we limit the time spent focusing on
particular media channels
• Teach kids how to use their words responsibly to stand up for themselves without
using violence as a solution.
• Keep an eye on interactive media violence. There's no way to accurately measure
whether there's more or less violence than in the past, but the pervasiveness of it in
interactive forms, such as social media, online videos, and video games, is
relatively new.
Violence and other mature content can be unhealthy for children and adults and we
have the choice to protect an individual’s welfare until they are older and able to make
decisions about the grown-up material.
