Violence On TV
Another thing that surprises outsiders is how much violence we have on T.V. Apparently, we watch about 5 hours of T.V. per day, and around 20% of that time is spent watching shows that feature violence. So, 1 out of every 5 hours spent watching T.V. is filled with fists flying, cars crashing, and people getting shot!
Thankfully, around 80% of violent shows are fictional. So that means we spend more time watching fictional violence as escapism than violence in the news. That’s not so bad, then – it’s just a bit of harmless fun. The nudity rule is odd since so many European countries will censor violence over nudity instead.
