I'm not sure if that is entirely accurate. I know that violence is more graphic now but if you think back to watching Saturday morning cartoons how often did Wile E. Coyote try to kill the road runner? How often did Elmer Fudd try to kill Bugs Bunny? What was Tom's goal when he was chasing Jerry? Violence on television isn't something that is new to society. It has been around almost since the beginning of television.
I think perhaps a better way to approach it, if you have that view point, is to minimize the GRAPHIC violence that our children see. At the same time though, shouldn't parents be emphasizing to children that these kinds of behaviors are not appropriate?
