My research question as somewhat prompted by the title of this blog is: The increasing technology in Children's media is making the violence seem more realistic to children, is this increase in technology leading to an increase in violence among children? This question is important to me because less then ten years down the road I will be a father myself, I want to be informed as to what modes of media are most harmful to child development and more importantly what types of images can lead to violent behaviors in my child. So far I have collected data from over 12 scholarly sources and my data collection has been going very well. By the end of this year I will have answered my hypothesis and reached a conclusion on the research.
Attached is simply an image I thought would offer some kind of visual regarding violence among children. This image strikes me personally because growing up I was strictly instructed to never throw a punch and I will surely teach my child the same, however, If something like this can happen on a playground out of our control the only way we can truly prevent this behavior is to monitor the content they are exposed to. The content that teaches children behaviors when we cannot ourselves.
