Poem 2 an elementary school classroom in a slumalkavashisht
1) The poem describes a classroom in an impoverished slum, where the students suffer from malnutrition, disease, and lack of basic resources.
2) Images on the classroom walls depict prosperous places that are far removed from the students' bleak reality, giving them only false hope.
3) The poem calls on those in power to reform the education system and help these underprivileged children access opportunities, facilities, and knowledge to escape from poverty, rather than leaving them trapped in a hopeless situation.
- The passage discusses the debate around whether viewing media violence can promote aggressive behavior in children.
- Several studies have found that the more violence children watch on TV, the more likely they are to act aggressively and the less sensitive they are to others' pain. However, experts say media is not the sole cause and individual differences also play a role.
- While media violence is linked to actual violence, the relationship is not directly causal. Other important influences include parenting, teaching, peers, and a child's own predispositions. Good parenting can help defend against negative impacts of violent images. Ultimately, both media content and education need attention to reduce potential harms.
