preventing it. The silence about theproblem does not help in any way. Moreover, the solutions are often overlooked because ofcommercial purposes. To find solutions, Michael Landon, for example, directs Little House on thePrairie and creates conflicts without killing in his programs. His goal is to put moral lessons in hisshow in an attempt to teach while entertaining. On the other programs like Hill Street Blues andLaw and Order some violence does occur, yet the themes are not the action but rather itsconsequences. Finally, the parents themselves are the childs role models from which he learns.

Men and women, parents and grandparents, teachers and friends needto speak out on this issue.
