- Do children's pretend lives have anything to do with real-world aggression?
- Do the programs they watch on television really affect their behavior?
- Do children know the difference between fantasy and reality?

The first thing I learned is this: whereas aggression is a part of human nature, violence is a learned behavior. Children learn violent behavior and valuse by imitation, like they learn everything else.
