The data about violence content exposure is surprising. A piece of Yahoo news claims cartoons as most violent shows children watch. According to a research on 79 animated movies/cartoons, every single one of them contains at least one violent scene.Films like Tom and Jerry, My Neighbor Totoro etc. are really popular among children. However, some of them have a good amount of violent content that may influence children’s behavior. Also, the effects of violence from animated television shows and films depend on children’s ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Children that experience disinhibition while watch such programming are more likely to mimic violent activities. This really shows us how the mass media can affect people daily lives.
