M: Shirley, what is the topic of your research?
W: Forms of shopping. You know, shopping online or going to the department stores. What about yours, Flex?
M: I’ve been finding out people’s attitudes towards the amount of violence on television.
W: That’s interesting. What do your results show?
M: Well, as I said I haven’t finished writing my conclusion yet, but it seems that most people think there is a problem. Unfortunately, there is no real agreement on the action that needs to be taken. Nearly everyone surveyed said that there was too much violence on TV. A lot of people complained that American police series and Chinese kung fu films were particularly violent. The main objection seems to be that although a lot of people get shot, stabbed, decapitated and so on, the films never show the consequences. People watching the violence might take the heroes of these programs as real models and imitate their behaviour.
W: So what do most people suggest we do?
M: A lot of people are concerned about how these films affect children. They are particularly worried that children will try to behave like the stars. The survey shows that violent programs should only be broadcast after 10 pm when most children are already in bed. There is also a significant minority of people who feel that violent films should be banned altogether.
W: How do people feel about the violence on news broadcasts?
M: Most of the responses I have looked at show that violence on news broadcasts is more acceptable as it’s real. Although it is unpleasant, it is important to keep in touch with reality. Still, some people think that it will be better to restrict violent scenes to late evening.
