I would like to propose a media research project related to the topic ‘’ the impact of watching violent movies or TV shows to children’’. To see the level of impact on the children after watching the violent movies, I will get two group of children, which usually from aged 8 to 13, one watching violent movies and one watching cartoon movies like ‘’up’’. The method I am using called laboratory experiment ( scientific method of isolating and observing variables in a controlled environment) .
After these two groups watching different type of movies, I will let them group together and giving time for them to play toys, chatting around and watch a cartoon TV shows together. After grouping them together, it told me the children who watched violent movies is more aggressive , outgoing than did the children who watch cartoon movie’’up’’ When they group together watching a cartoon movie. Children who watched ‘’up’’ tend to be more lovely, innocent and pure with their laugh while the children who watched violent movie prone to be more numb and found it not interesting in watching it.
Besides this, when playing toys, the attitude in playing the toys is also more violent for those who watched violent movie is more aggressive than their counterparts.
By grouping them to watch the cartoon movies, this is a project based on selective perception method . It is because children interpret different attitudes and expression from the same activity and message. My hypothesis is violent type of TV , movie media does have significant impact on children mind and behavior.

I understand your theory but i wonder if the consequences of violent actions have more of an impact on children than violence in general. In my opinion, i would say there were several violent scenes in UP such as the dogs attacking and the "bad guy's" antics. However, the movie showed that he was a bad person and it is always better to be the "good guy". I don't know what opposing movie you had in mind, but if the morals were the same, perhaps the impact would be as well.
