Yes it does. Footages and images depicting violence and aggression within the media may result in an overall detrimental effect on a person, stirring violent instincts within him, For example, as shown in the internationally recognized bobo doll experiment, a child exposed to footages of violent behaviour performed by a human being onto a bobo doll was found to exhibit violent tendencies and attack the doll in a savage manner. Furthermore, continuous exposure to such violence reinforces this negative effect, sending subliminal messages to the complex human mind. For example, a study conducted in Canada found that Canadians had less violent tendencies as compared to their American counterparts because they were exposed to less violence in the media on a daily basis.
