I always thought the freakonimcs guys had an interesting spin on exposure to media and how it relates to elevated rates of violence. http://freakonomicsbook.com/superfreakonomics/chapter-excerp...

Thanks for sharing that link. I think it's an interesting addition to the discussion. It fits well with what Dr. Bruce Perry was saying in this article: http://teacher.scholastic.com/professional/bruceperry/aggres...

The culprit is more likely a child's upbringing, which may have been negatively affected due to television, but not directly caused by television itself.

Those children that are allowed to play video games or watch t.v. on end in my opinion are those that are most likely to end up in a poorer situation because there is little parenting done.
