There are many shows on television that have violence
in them, such as science fiction shows, morning talk shows,
police shows, and some cartoon programming. I am convinced
that every kid in America has imitated a show that had violence
in it at some point. I know I have. Every day I see kids
imitating violent programs on my way home. There are always
little kids running after each other playing cops and robbers,
while singing the theme song from the latest police or cartoon
show. You can’t pass by one elementary school playground
without seeing kids hitting each other because they are
pretending to be characters from their favorite television
shows.
