Book Synopsis TV Violence and the Child by : Douglass Cater
Download or read book TV Violence and the Child written by Douglass Cater. This book was released on 1975-01-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, Senator John Pastore requested that the Surgeon General appoint a committee to conduct an inquiry into television violence and its effect on children. When the Surgeon General's report was finally released in 1972—after a three-year inquiry and a cost of over $1.8 million—it angered and confused a number of critics, including politicians, the broadcast industry, many of the social scientists who had helped carry out the research, and the public. While the final consequences of the Report may not be played out for years to come, TV Violence and the Child presents a fascinating study of the Surgeon General's quest and, in effect, the process by which social science is recruited and its findings made relevant to public policy. In addition to dealing with television as an object of concern, the authors also consider the government's effectiveness when dealing with social objectives and the influence of citizen action on our communication systems. Their overwhelming conclusion is that the nation's institutions are ill-equipped for recruiting expert talent, providing clear findings, and carrying out objectives in this area of delicate human concern.

Book Synopsis The Politics of TV Violence by : Willard D. Rowland
Download or read book The Politics of TV Violence written by Willard D. Rowland. This book was released on 1983-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews the findings of communication research on the effects of televison on violent behaviour, and the history of the use of this information in policy-making. To what political use has violence research been put? What impact has it had on politics? The interactions of federal communication policy, the broadcasting industry, public or citizens' interest groups, and the communication research community are described. The rise of TV violence as an issue is documented, in the context of the rise of social science as a policy-making resource. Rowland uses hearings, records, and reports of congressional committees and national commissions to reveal the patterns of argument and shared assumptions, and the structure of interactions among groups and institutions. These records are also part of our rituals of social self-examination. Rowland's approach rises out of the tradition of critical cultural studies, with its emphasis on history and symbolic analysis. His book, finally, is about the symbolic uses to which communication research -- indeed, social science -- is put to alleviate contemporary tensions and unease.

Download or read book Television Violence written by P. T. Kelly. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If one culprit is suspected above all others for encouraging society to become more violent and unfeeling, it is television. This medium, which has become so pervasive in the last 50 years, seems to play an enormous role in the lives of the vast majority of people. But who controls the content which exerts such an enormous influence and to an extent controls the people? What are they doing now and what will they be doing tomorrow? Is violence essential to sell toothpaste and hamburgers? What are our children becoming and what will their children be like? Will every child carry a gun or other weapon just waiting for someone to trigger their violent nature and ignite their preprogrammed anger?
