(4AF-2010) – Violence & Family – Turquia – 2012
Violence towards the family can take place in several forms, whether through the attitudes of one of its members or through the verbal, phys-ical or moral actions of others. The programs and advertising aired on television can also be a cause of moral violence to children and families. This occurs whenever television programs induce children to behave in ways that are harmful to their welfare and healthy development. In this case the victims of the violence are children, their families and the society they are part of, where the effects will ultimately reach.
The re-sult of TV programming on the personality of children and adolescents is undeniable, increasing in direct proportion to the amount of time they are exposed. This study is devoted to analyzing the rights children have to ethical development in relation to open commercial TV in Brazil, the effects of programs on their moral education, the negative impacts gen-erated when television does not observe such rights, and finally, some of the recorded effects of the violent content itself.
