Birds are known to imitate people. Their environment brings them their personality which they give up. So let's say that the bird that grew up in a noisy house where people are always arguing, will be more energetic and noisy, repeating vulgar words that come from the mouth of its owner. Children can relate to a bird because, like the bird, they do not understand what is really happening. They witness the fight between mom and dad, so the child, like the bird, imitates the surrounding environment. If the bird is at home, where people find a calm atmosphere, then it should behave calmly, coolly and collectedly. Sometimes birds and children can simply be left alone with the television on. Both could imitate what they witness on TV. Parents need to recognize the media's influence on their children before their bad behavior increases. Children grow up surrounded by technology. From the day he turns two, the child will start playing with tablets. The children ask their mother to get another “APP” because in reality children's attention span is very short. Huesmann states: “The violent scenes upon which children are most likely to model their behavior are those in which they identify with the perpetrator of violence, the preparatory phase is rewarded for violence, and in which children perceive the scene as if told life as it really is. .”(Potter 82) Children who watch these violent shows do not have the wisdom and understanding to be able to decide what is truly wrong or right in situations. The developing brain is starting to imitate what is shown on television without understanding that hitting each other while going along in "Tom and Jerry" is an act of violence and it is not fun that this act has consequences. ......avies, Pamela, Peter Francis and Chris Greer.
