Argument In Favor Of Reducing TV Violence : A 5
page
paper arguing for TV programming based on higher ideals
rather than on blood and gore. One network has catapulted
from the bottom of the pile based solely on the success of
Touched by an Angel, a show CBS executives believed
would not last a full season, and has since added similar
programming. Hollywood has followed suit. These shows
and movies are not venues of substitute preaching, but rather
are representation of higher ideals by which we can live and
make our daily choices. The garbage in/ garbage out
saying common among early computer programmers applies
also to the human mind, and reducing the level of violence on
TV can only have positive effects. CBS has shown that those
positive effects also can be reflected in the corporate bottom
line. Bibliography lists 3 sources. Tvio4.wps
