Sex or Violence?

Generally, I also believe it depends on how old the kid is when exposing them to these ideals. If they're an infant, it'll do little to them. You can easily change their behaviors as they develop into a toddler learning how to read.

But if it's an adolescent whose greatest times of joy and fun are birthday parties and amusement parks, then they're more likely to adapt and take in these ideals as mere play things. "Oh, it looked so easy when the guy on TV stabbed the man with that knife." What's to stop a child from mimicking such actions when it seems so easily done by actors and reality TV?

Arguably though, I think violence would have a greater effect of influence than sex. I also agree that the majority of society has it backwards in thinking that demonstrating sexual acts is worse than influencing violent behavior. If I had to pick and choose for a child I may have in the future, I'd let him/her induge his/her time into sexual activities than to watch him/her throw knives at a bullseye. At least he/she'll learn the dangers of misuse of sexual acts. (HIV, etc.). I don't have any kids yet, and I may not. So I really can't make too big of a point. But theoretically, this is how I believe it to be should I be the one observing and making decisions.

How ya doing, buddy?
