Why is criminal activity on the rise across America? Adults, look in the mirror and you will see why.
Violent movies have the highest attendance of movie goers. The greater the violence, the higher the attendance. Most television commercials have violent scenes of people fighting. And numerous automobile commercials show speeding and wheelies. Children”s video games have acts of violence. Soap operas started off all about love and romance. Today soaps have numerous acts of violence and even murder.
Children and teens are exposed to all the violence mentioned above. If we as an adult society does not change our priorities, criminal activity will get worse.
Recent data states a rise in domestic violence. Another no-no for our youth to witness.
