I think there are so many children being brought up in some form of violence, be it violence of poverty or sexism or racism or homophobia or transphobia.

Through TV and moving pictures a child may see more violence in thirty minutes than the average adult experiences in a lifetime. What children see on the screen is violence as an almost casual commonplace of daily living. Violence becomes the fundamental principle of society, the natural law of humanity.
