题目内容
Some individuals and citizen groups have expressed worry about the level of violence in television programs, particularly in action-adventure series and cartoons.They argue that viewers, especially children, may learn to see violence as the only way to settle conflicts.
Early experimental researchers compared the play of children who had seen aggressive behavior on television with the play of a control group of children who had watched nonviolent programs.Worry was increased by findings that showed a higher level of aggressive play in the violent-television group.Other researchers attempted to determine whether violent programs simply caused higher energy levels in children or actually caused them to learn violent and antisocial behavior.The results of different studies conflicted.Some researchers thought that televised violence actually had an active cathartic(引导宣泄) effect, allowing some viewers to release high tensions; these findings, however, were not more clear in further studies.Other scholars pointed out that both prosocial and antisocial behavior can be learned from television.
Social scientists find it especially difficult to figure out exactly the subtle (细微的),cumulative(积累的) effects of viewing a broad variety of television programs throughout childhood.Telling the possible effects of television from other influences at home and at school is also difficult.Present research suggests that higher levels of antisocial behavior can result from television viewing, but further study needs to be done to make it clear or not.
Because of the long-standing tradition in the U.S.of freedom of speech and of the press, the government would probably not attempt to directly limit or censor(审查) the appearance of violence on television.Among the networks and producer, pressure from some citizens continues to be balanced by increasing popularity of high-energy action- adventure programs.
