When our culture romanticizes and glorifies violence -- on TV, in
the movies, in songs. When there are video games that you win based
on how many people you kill -- then our children become desensitized
to violence. ,lose Studies show what we've always believed: that such
exposure causes more aggression and anti-social behavior. So today --
we must fully acknowledge -- once and for all -- that America's culture
of violence is having a profound effect on our children. And we must do
everything we can to change that culture.
[Toward that end, the President convened a 1996 White House
Conference on Children's Television -- where television industry
leaders joined him in agreeing to air more educational children's shows.
We've also worked with entertainment leaders to establish a rating
system to help parents navigate what's appropriate and what's not for
their kids.]

But it will take more than strong leadership from the media and
entertainment world to stop the culture of violence that surrounds our
children. Kids need more caring adults in their lives. Yet when single
parenthood and two working parents are on the rise, too many of
America's children are growing up alone.
