Violence on film and television play a integral role in the emotional development of young people. Entertainment in our society is saturated with simulated violence of all types from reality shows to movies to role playing video games. The problem is that for young kids who don’t know any better, this violence is seen as okay and they have become desensitized to it. This may contribute to a confusion in the difference between reality and fiction and can ultimately be confusing for young people who are not given the explanation of the difference between the two.
