The article attempts to prove a child's ability to process a display of violent behavior is

effected by the way their brain interprets and processes the information. A child's age is a

significant factor in identifying a child's maturity level. This is proven through sample

testing where a violent scenario is viewed by providing a clip of a Television show,

which displays some form of violent behavior. Then children are giving a short story

where they have to provide a ending to the story. The results concluded older children

expressed violent behavior within the ending of their short stories more frequently as a

form of punishment than younger children. (Krcmar, M Cooke). Young children were

impacted less proving his theory.
