TV Violence, I'm not responsib

ill have tendencies toward violent mimicry. They will roll play this way because this is what they have learned. Columnist Scott B. Carpenter reflects upon the truth of this statement and comments:
             "At times I learn the hard way that my children are learning far more by what I do, than by what I say. Watching my children respond and react in various situations is similar to observing my own reflection in a mirror. The truth can be cruel sometimes, but if we accept it, and respond humbly to it, it can set us free!" (Carpenter).
             It is easy enough to claim, and accept the claim, that young children are very susceptible to the influences of television, just as they are susceptible to the influences of their parents and society's actions. However, I contest that the brunt of the blame must rest upon the parents. It is the fault of the parents.
             Parents don't turn off the TV and spend time with their children, they leave them with the babysitter and go about their business. By the time they finally do come to the realization that something is wrong with their children they go in search for a scapegoat. They do not take responsibility. When the problem escalates to the point where it is noticed by of millions of members of society, then suddenly society feels that it must deal with this problem. Studies are formed, money is spent and freedom is stripped away. Our Freedom. Our Liberty
