~{!0~}HOLLOW CLAIMS ABOUT FANTASY VIOLENCE~{!1~} was written by Richard Rhodes. He argues that children do not learn to be violent from watching rock violence. In his essay, Rhodes states that there is proficient evidence that violence begins with parents who abuse their children, or with peers who bully their playmates. Rhodes contends that there is no direct link between entertainment and violent behavior. He says that the American Medical Association has mostly based its support of the media violence theory on the studies of Psychiatrist Brandon Centerwall, who found that murder rates in the U.S. and Canada doubled after the introduction of television. Rhodes argues that this finding is impressive, but insignificant. Franklin E. Zimring and Gordon Hawkins of the University of California at Berkeley point out that homicide rates in many countries. The Telecommunications Act of 1996, which allowed parents to monitor unwanted programming. And then Rhodes concludes that the key to further reducing violence is to protect children from the real violence in their lives, and that if exposure to mock violence arouses children to behave violently, then our political leaders are justified in their fury at what the Federal Trade Commission has reported about the promotion of violence to children.
