Unfortunately, yes. If it weren't for the availability of uncut movies, I doubt if I would watch too much TV. The social aspect is the best reason to watch television.  The real downside is that I do think TV has severely hurt the art of conversation. You can now grow up with siblings and spend time with them watching the tube, but not really getting to know them at a deeper level.

Southern Hospitality seems to fit what you describe in your paragraph. There is no associated passive/aggressive component, though.

I would prefer not to but today's society wants it then turns around and says it's wrong.  In most cases it is more subtle in America.  Threats, attitude, bluffing is used more since people are now afraid of getting killed so blatant violence is not used as often but mind games and the threat of violence still hangs around.

The thesis sentence should b negative only if ur attitude towards the topic is negative thruout the essay. Note that thesis sentence is meant 4 expressing the writer's attitude.\n\nAs 2 the the given topic, I think there's no scope 2 write an opposing   thesis sentence coz television itself is only a machine & u cant call a machine evil. Got it? This type of essay is not supposed 2 b normative.

I find it interesting that this comes as a question... when in my opinion.. it is so factual that violence portrayed on TV, movies and video games affects people's mind, specially children.   How we in this 'modern' times accept as natural viewing and being bombarded with violence and other stuff from TV.  I have personally stopped watching TV and you know.. I have gained so much in my life.. Instead of waisting my life plugged into the 'garbage tube' I have found renewed interest in music, arts, enjoying friends, exercise and the list goes on.  I have children, they don't live with me since I have been divorced, but when they come visit... the thing they know they are not doing is watching TV...  Sometimes we rent movies, but for me is easy to filter as much as possible what they are watching.  And yes there is violence and sex out there in the real world... but there is no need for us human beings to  get soaked in it 24/7 as we become couch potatoes and let life slip away... as zombies.  My kids and I  have a great relationship and they are always happy to come to my place... because always is an adventure... never knowing what is going on.. what we would do... or go see, experience, meet... in resume live... not by watching it on the screen.. but by experiencing first hand!  Good luck with your paper and hopefully you find some good references.

The media have arguably become the leading sex educator in America today. That's not good news, considering the fact that more than 75% of primetime shows contain sexual content but only 11% discuss the risks of sex.3 How significant is the influence of media on teens' sexual attitudes and behaviors? For 50 years researchers have explored the connection between media violence and real-life aggression in children and adolescents.4 More than 1000 studies show a connection.5 In fact, according to one leading researcher, "the controversy is over"6; now, we have a second major study showing a strong connection between sexual content in all media and onset of sexual activity among teens.7 Is there much doubt that research on the impact of sex in the media is going to parallel the media-violence research? The media represent a powerful teacher of children and adolescents.8 As such, the media cut across virtually every concern that parents and pediatricians have about young people: sex, violence, homicide, suicide, obesity, eating disorders, school problems, and drug use.

Most of t.v. has negative influence. Especially anything on MTV. Our culture is addicted to unhealthy living.

- Television makes you less sociable.\n- Some people become sort of addicted to television and    never leave it.\n- Makes you ignore other priorities.\n\nThese are what i can think of right now.. hehe

Personally, I don't think TV causes violence, so, no, the film-maker should not be held responsible.  People need to learn the difference between TV and reality.

No.  And if a program is enraging you, perhaps its time that you stop watching that program.  I have never been enraged by a television program, and would be concerned if I let something so inconsequential bother me so much.

People sin more these days. Watching tv and other non important stuff is distracting us from the important issues were facing these days. No one cares if someone curses on tv no more if it was back then everyone would go crazy.

Only weak minded people are proned to be violent because of media. So I will not help based on that fact. But I wish you the best.
