Firstly, television can influence people to be rougher. It shows through their attitude and how they respect other people. Cozy Place to Talk Forum quote that in general, television can make people remember 50% what they see and hear although it just one times (Dwyer). For example, someone who watch scene when the boy slapped the girl if she makes some mistake can influence people to do that. Every rough scene can suggest people’s behaviour.
