Thesis

Violence on television has particularly increased in the last 25 years. William Goodwin stated “A five year study by the American Psychological Association found that the average child witnesses 8,000 murders and 100,000 other acts of violence on television by the seventh grade.” “Two years after television was introduced to the remote city of Notel, Canada, physical aggression in children in the area increased 160 percent” (Goodwin, 48). There could be other factors that contribute youth violence besides television, but these studies show that television does have an impact on youth behavior.

Outline

The impact of television violence on youth behavior has been an issue for many years. Violence on television contributes a great deal to youth violence.
