READING
7 Read the article and match sentences A–E to gaps 1–4 in the text. There is one extra sentence.
Violence in entertainment
It’s been an exhausting day, and now it’s time to relax and watch TV. You turn on your favourite channel –
a person is being stabbed and there is blood everywhere. No, thanks! You try the next channel and you are
confronted with gunshots, an explosion and a horrific car crash, all in less than 15 seconds. Again, no, thank
you! A third channel shows knights heroically attacking their enemies. Fights, killings, stabbings, all created,
rehearsed and filmed for our so-called entertainment. 1 ___ As adults, we can differentiate between reality
and fantasy; however, young children cannot tell the difference so easily and the impact of seeing so much
violence can be stressful and traumatic.
The violence in on-screen entertainment is overwhelming. Research suggests that in the USA, the average
person will have viewed over 200,000 acts of violence on TV by the time they are eighteen 2 ___ A cute
animation may seem entertaining and all the kicking and beating and punching seem harmless, but to a child,
cartoon characters are not make-believe – they are real. Weapons are featured in television programmes
approximately nine times per hour, which means that a child watching TV for three hours could encounter
these nearly 30 times in just one evening.
For tired parents or caregivers, TV is a wonderful babysitter. 3 ___ However, this state of peacefulness may be
a temporary illusion. Research suggests that, for a child, exposure to violence on TV might be associated with
an increase in fear, anxiety, nightmares, sleep disturbances and depression. This is hardly surprising given that
the fictional hero or heroine – the ‘good guy’ – on TV is praised or rewarded for dealing with a problematic
situation through acts of violence.
Child psychologists recommend that children under two should not watch screens at all and that very young
children should be limited to two hours a day. 4 ___ Children and adolescents who watch TV for more than
three hours per day are at greater risk of criminal convictions and anti-social behaviour when they are older.
Although it is not possible to prove that watching violence on TV directly causes an individual to behave
aggressively, perhaps it is time for TV producers to be more concerned with a child’s healthy development than
with profits. Combined with greater parental involvement in a child’s viewing behaviour, this might help
to reduce violence, bullying and depression, which seem to be increasingly present in the lives of young people.
A Some research indicates that the number of hours a person watches TV is strongly associated
with aggressive behaviour later on in life.
B And the TV studios have been told that unless the next season includes even more intense, terrifying,
fictionalised violence, people won’t watch the programme.
C Even ‘amusing’ cartoons can include up to 25 violent acts in one hour.
D After all, parents often worry that violent movies trigger violence and can turn their kids into criminals.
E A child sitting silently in front of a screen creates instant peace and calm.
