The results of research on the topic show that the effect of mass media among children and youth is primarily focused on all types of violence against children, and young children mainly show aggression through direct modeling. Additionally, desensitization and cognitive aggression changes also emerge quickly among older teenagers. Today, violence on social media and the TV has been a problem for parents for centuries, and ever since the invention of the Internet, there are just so many video games and films with violence that negatively affect young people’s minds. Children are increasingly exposed to cartoons, and adults are exposed to thousands of violent TV shows and even interactive gaming technology, which has led to the production of these media as a tool for violence promotion. Can also enhance their participation in the scenes, which is dangerous to children and adolescents.
