morals and consequences
"There is a lack of morals as well as no fear of mortality anymore. It's the TU never die syndrome.' These kids have no sense of death - they're invincible," Dittrich says.There is little doubt of the influence of the electronic media. Back in the sixties, when the NBC peacock cheap silver jewelry displayed its Technicolor tail feathers, television news blazed an ignominious path to making violence part and parcel of everyday life with its groundbreaking coverage of the Vietnam War. Instead of watching highlysanitized, undeniably patriotic news from the front, for the first time the world saw war as it really is: up close and bloody.
Flash forward a few decades and ultraviolent video games, movies and television began to trivialize death and make what would have been shocking to most ordinary individuals - autopsies, gruesome crime scenes, etc. - ordinary and tiffany for sale. Today, their shock value to a violence-numbed authence is minimal and the threshold continuously expands to take the experience one step further.
Thanks in part to a cultural and educational revolution that pushes early technological savvy, children today flock to the Internet in greater numbers. And, even though some parents have put limits and controls on their kids' computer usage, countless others do not believe it's necessary. Dittrich, like many law enforcement experts, thinks that's a mistake.
"If a 13-year-old has a MySpace page, you have to ask yourself, 'Why?'" she says.And, an even bigger question - can this exposure have unanticipated consequences? The answer is obvious to law enforcement veterans - of course it can, and does. We're facing a growing pool of children who have lost their way as it applies to morals and consequences.
Dittrich's "I'll never die syndrome" has led to a generation of kids who are emotionally tiffany jewellery from the reality of violence. "With crime shows and in the movies (a character) is shot in the head and he gets up and walks away," she says. Games like the loathsome Grand Theft Auto, which glamorizes the killing of cops and prostitution, give impressionable young people the chance to invest in a life of virtual crime. (Now that's a skill you want your children to pack as they leave home.)
