Many suggest it's only fair to give equal attention to all sides during the ongoing debate on whether violent media affects children. What is the primary problem with this suggestion? Given the ethical duty of adults to protect the interests of children, it is safer to protect children from media violence while we reach a consensus. It gives a few dissident findings an equal platform to the vast majority of studies, which agree that violence influences aggression. The scientific nature of the debate has prevented media executives from contributing their anecdotal expertise. The discussion neglects the finding that children with positive role models in real life are seemingly unaffected by violent media.
