TV, Source of Information and Violence

Television is really a powerful form of communication. With millions of people watching the television everyday, no wonder TV ads are so expensive especially during primetime. There's the news, drama series, home shopping and a lot more . Remember the as seen on tv products or services? Well, as the name suggest, they all first seen on TV.

But do you know aside from being a source of knowledge, TV is also a source of violence? According to statistics, the average child will watch 8,000 murders on TV before finishing elementary school. And by age eighteen, the average American has seen 200,000 acts of violence on TV, including 40,000 murders.

Well, if you are serious about protecting your child against violence, you should limiting the TV viewing time. Just my two cents.
