My personal believe is that violent TV shows are having very negative impact on people. Specially such shows on kids channels (e.g Cartoon Network: Destroy Build Destroy and Dude What would Happen?) is the worst of all. I actually applied laboratory experiment it on my cousins to show my aunt and uncle the impact long before this project because I was totally against watching them such shows.
In the beginning I let them watch the show daily, and then I suggested them to watch it on YouTube the ones they missed. Then I bought CD of these shows they really addicted to, I was constantly observing their behaviour. I saw speeding aggressiveness in them, they build different sort of thing on Lego's and destroy them with such aggressiveness they throw them hard on flour to destroy them. They build things with pieces of wood and plastic and destroy them with something hard.
Also they different things such as food and washing powder after mixing them they try to throw it on each other with such question WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
I kept record of all these things and even made movies to show all these things to my uncle and aunt. They also discussed their behavioral changes with me. And in the end we came up to this conclusion that we will not let them watch these shows again. These shows are totally banned in our house.
Good experiment. I witnessed the same out-of-control behavior when my son was 4 and watched "Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles." Before the show was even over, he started yelling and throwing toys, and this continued for another hour after. I banned it!
