These very graphic teachings are allowed and are a part of our lives. A continuous exposure to varying graphic methods and means and ease of availability in far too many aspects of what is loosely called entertainment.

Brain washing is a method based on continual repeating and exposure.....which is what our loosely termed entertainment does.

Violence in the books of old and entertainment of days gone by was implied and much was left to one's imagination. This has been replaced with very detailed, graphic, technically enhanced animation, up close and personal. Nothing is left to the imagination.

The age that this new accepted level of violence is allowed to view has deteriorated
Maybe, we will learn about the viewing habits of this kid? It would be interesting and possibly instructive?

I know a lot of domestic violence and bullying occurred while we had shows like Gunsmoke and I Love Lucy and other quite mild in terms of sex and violent shows.
