    How much research has gone into showing that children mimic what they see on television, films and video games?

    As a mother, do you really want your children growing up and having tons of fights with people because it was on Big Brother so they see it as alright?
    how do you know whats happening then?

    What a load of bollocks. There are far worse examples of violence in other television and film. Plus most of it goes out after the watershed.

    People who speak with an Estuary English accent, or use EE dialectal words, should be stabbed in the head.

    Big Brother particpants* should be stabbed in the head. It'd be more entertaining (*the only exception to this would be that Scouse guy, who has used his "fame" for good and seems a reet gud blerk).

    Anyone who thinks BB is good should be subjected to a slight electrical shock until they learn not to;)

    Thank you, I think I be correct in that many violent crimes have been commited by youngsters when they have copied something they have seen on a video nasty.

    I will expect BeckyBoo to attack Kermit now, otherwise it'll be clear to me that I can say anything and she'll just argue with me because she wants to.

    I'd also like to point out that while I don't know her, she doesn't know me. I never pretended that I did know her.

    Big deal. Children still find out about these things. What's to say they're not making a mental connection 'it happened on a TV show so it must be alright'?

    Because children copy what happens on TV and you don't want to associate that with a programme you love so much?

    I don't know if it's the same there, but here 70% of the people who've played in a BB-like thing become crappy-but-popular singers when they're out if they're men and covers in playboy if they're women. IMO, that's reason enough not to watch them.
    They're not choosing random people to let in a game, they're purposefully choosing some of them.

    I didn't mention news. There are thousands of child psychologists working on adoptive behavioural patterns from media sources and video games. This is one perfectly good reason why they have the watershed. This is why news reports often have the little 'the pictures in this report may be distressing' thing, to allow parents to take their children out of the room. The point is, children find out about Big Brother from all sorts of sources. Don't forget these are real people, and if real people can fight on TV, who's to say that doesn't justify fighting in real life to them?

    It's good to have strong opinions but you have to think carefully how you come across. If you come across as arogant you will most likely be given a hard time.

    well apparently domestic violence ...the kind where the husband smacks the wife in the gob and stuff ...is more common in middle class and upward type families than in working class ones ...so how do we deal with reality? not reality tv but REALITY?

    And the same goes for the news. When there were riots in parliment square the other week the footage of the police battering the protestors wasn't preceeded by a warning of any sort. What sort of message do you think that gives?
    I think this is a silly line of argument. Violence exists in all walks of life. A little scrap after the watershed on BB is fuck all.

    The doc is over-egging the pudding, but when the United Nations start copmmenting on how Hollywood violence breeds real life violence then I start sitting up and taking note.

    The UN are concerned about the amopunt of violence in many Hollywood films, and how a lot of it is needless and projected against women. This is particularly true of sexual violence, which (in most cases) is used as titillation rather than as part of the plot.

    The fact is that violence on TV and films serves to legitimise violence away from the screen. I'm not talking about "issues" in Corrie, but violence for violence's sake (such as in all Tarantino films) does this.

    i believe firmly that we are what we eat ...visual and auditory especialy.
    a diet of violent movies and games for youngsteras just has to be bad ...never having watche big bruvver i can't realy comment but ...i'm sure it's not mindless violence of the corrupting kind.
    more a bit of reality ...huge difference from the fantasy kind where there are no comebacks.

    BB is just putting ten mental deficients in a house with nothing to do, in the hope that will fuck each other or stab each other. Or maybe even both. At the same time.

    We are what we eat. But then we eat what we are- it's a vicious circle, and one that needs to be broken by Hollywood. It won't stop violence, but it'll stop glamourising it and making it look the correct way to live.
