Of course. Depending on how it's portrayed, it can glorify it and desensitize young minds. Most people don't promote adult behavior when dealing with issues. It's juvenile to resort to violence in a situation where you can settle something by thinking and acting like a rational human being. But, fighting is more entertaining. And egos run large.
Having a television routinely on all the time, as many families do, exposes children from an early age to all kinds of televised violence, usually with little or no guidance when it comes to sorting the true from the untrue, the fact from the fiction, the minor occurence from the huge beat-up.
News broadcasts in particular are a problem, and kids can and do become worried, fearful or aggressive as a reaction to constant reminders that the world is a violent place.
Unfortunately, children - and, sadly, many adults - are unable to comprehend the fact that the media is made up of profit-making organizations. Showing all the nice things about the world simply isn't interesting news and doesn't make money, so what is produced as news, current affairs, and other programs tends to exaggerate the negative aspects of life.
Adults emphasize the importance of violence to their children when they largely ignore more pleasant media reports, only to suddenly focus their attention on news involving disasters, suffering and violence. Adults will say, Hey, come and look at this! to each other, or remark upon and discuss the most horrible news reports without ever considering the kids are taking it all in.
Then they wonder why their child has nightmares.
Too frequently, too, people see in the media simple causes of, and solutions to, their personal problems. We all know those who have fixed ideas about who or what is to blame for practically everything they perceive as wrong with the world, from a slight case of bad manners to a civil war, to not being able to afford as good a car as they'd like, to a major earthquake.
We hear every day the tragic results of people with simplistic views, tunnel vision, taking simplistic action.
Since mankind began communicating, gossip - true, untrue, or bits of each - has been responsible for awful tragedies. Now we've refined gossip down to a fine and highly lucrative art, via the media and other means of passing on information throughout the globe.
Our defence against this is to teach our children to see reality: to see the street where they live isn't full of thieves and murderers, the community isn't full of serial killers.
Kindness and goodness is all around us. We just need to look, and to show our kids and others that it's there. There are many more good people than bad; this is why the human race still survives.
