How Does Television Violence Affect YOUR Child? - Patrick A Parnell - November 1971

Patrick A Parnell

Children are growing up on a constant diet of TV violence. We need to ask ourselves: Is it all just harmless entertainment? In an average American home the television set is on more than 6 hours a day. Between the average male's second and sixty-fifth year he will watch over 3000 full 24-hour days of television - that's almost nine full years of his life. Half of the American population can be found silently watching television during the average weekday winter evening. Television waves saturate Britain. Ninety-nine percent of Britain's population can be reached by TV. In the United States over 97% of all homes have a television set. More than 25% have two or more. More homes have television sets than refrigerators, automobiles, or even bathrooms! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
