If these perspectives can be successfully reinforced with programming such as WWF wrestling, are already aligned with violent behavior (McLellan, 2002). The television shows are reinforcing their need to reinforce and actualize this world view and mind set. These perspectives, if the children who play video games for hours every day could also be seeking out those video games in an attempt to actualize their violent thoughts and feelings. Demographics evidence would also agree with this statement, since those who are not at a high risk to commit violent crimes are likely not seeking out the violent television programming and video games.
Attention Deficit Disorder and Television
Some studies show a strong correlation between the amount of television a child watches and the likelihood that they will suffer from ADD later in life (Schmidt and Vandewater, 2008). Other studies show no correlation between them at all. Television has the unique ability to grab a child's attention and draw them into the programming, so the content of the programming seems to matter more than the amount of television a child watches. Studies have shown that children who watch educational programming, which has been around ever since televisions have, are far more likely to benefit from that programming in a positive way (Schmidt and Vendewater, 2008). Just as children who watch violent television shows are likely to reflect these norms and values behaviorally.
For a child who is already ADD or ADHD, a television is an excellent way to self-medicate (Schmidt and Vendewater, 2008). They can have access to thousands of channels and can finally become satiated with the amount of programming and visual and auditory stimuli being created by the television. For those who are already predisposed to ADD, television and video games can be an excellent way for them to both communicate and learn (Schmidt and Vendewater, 2008). Children who are already at high risk for ADD in adulthood already watch television at high levels as a child, and these levels often predict the amount of television they will likely watch as they become adults.

This is in direct contrast to the efforts afforded by the leagues to try to reduce competitive advantage all around. One reason why the teams with larger media and crowd resources do well could be the fact that as more talented players are able to move into free agency, they seek higher and higher compensation and attention through larger media and crowd outlets (Grant, 1991). A very talented player
Too many leaders today do not see much as necessarily bad or good, and they simply go through their life without realizing there is so much more out there to be done and seen, just like the people in Plato's Cave. They have blinders on -- some of which are part of society, and some of which are self-inflicted. If only they would break out of the chains which enslave
