Media violence has been discussed and debated for many years. Authors, such as Jonathan L. Freedman, reveal problems that reveal that corporate storytellers are less concerned with conveying positive cultural values ​​than with making large sums of money. These multi-million dollar corporations know that violence is a major source of profit and use it indiscriminately to increase their revenues. Unfortunately, among the consumers of this unjustified violence are young children and adolescents who observe and absorb its content. As adolescents and children continue to watch and read these violent images depicted in music and films, harmful effects are felt on their judgment, attitudes and behaviors. Numerous studies have been conducted providing evidence claiming that the media is responsible for much of the violence observed. on the news. Since the mid-1980s, violence in the United States has increased significantly, and researchers have established a strong link between media violence and societal violence.

In 1986, “98% of households had a television” (Liebert & Sparfkin, 1988). According to research by Liebert & Sparfkin, at just six months old, an infant will spend approximately 50% of their time watching television. By the age of two, children will spend approximately 78% of their time watching children's programs.
