Violence in Children's Programming

Tweet

Here in the US, we rate TV shows for things like violence in order to more easily monitor what our children watch. We try to minimize there exposure to violence. Yet in Saudi Arabia, the cartoon characters are sentence to lose their hands for something like stealing. Although, in this case, the bunny swears he will never do it again and it is possible for a compromise to be reached and cut off an ear instead!! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,385502,00.html Now, if this is what the children are watching on TV is it no wonder that as adults they have so little value for human life. They also have cartoon characters who martyr themselves while fighting Israel, this one is obviously make so that little ones will want to be suicide bombers when they grow up. I expect that their will be cultural differences in the world, burping during dinner is good but showing the bottom of your feet is bad and these are acceptable differences. But cartoons aimed at children that teach violence. Please tell me what kind of religion this really is!! Any opinions on this? How can we change this culture? Will these people ever value human life?
