1. The children probably don't know, or they don't care, the hugely popular WWF wrestling
matches are actually all staged acts. The Hulks, the Undertaker or whatever else they are
called-never really punch or kick as hard as they might appear doing on the show. It's all a
show, a thrilling show.
2. So, you can't really blame children for getting hooked. But does that necessarily mean
the show is entirely responsible for beating 12-year-old Subin Kumar got from his WWF
inspired friends? Can viewing or watching violence on TV actually promote aggressive
behaviour in children?
3. Media experts and social scientists have been wrestling with this question for decades
and thousands of studies have been done on it. And most of them reached the same
conclusion-media violence is responsible for aggressive behaviour in children.
4. Research has found that the more violence children watch on television, the more likely
they may act in aggressive ways towards others. Also, they become less sensitive to others
pain and are less likely to help a victim of violence.
5. A study of violence on Indian television and its impact on children commissioned by
UNESCO accused the idiot box of "bombarding young minds with all kinds of violent
images, cutting across channels, programmes and viewing times."
6. Not only studies, but also incidents go to prove that children who watch violent episodes
show increased likelihood of behaving aggressively.
7. There have been reports from all over the country of children hurting themselves while
trying to ape the superman feats of Shaktiman, the superhero of Indian TV. Then there was
the six-year-old child of Lucknow who leapt off the balcony of his second floor flat trying to
imitate a bungee jumping drop shown in a soft drinks commercial.
