The human brain is a sponge. If children are exposed to aggressive, violent, bloody images and sounds, they will grow up to imitate the same. If children are surrounded by a positive, gentle, and humane enivironment, guess what! More than likely, they will absorb those qualities.

I want to add another dimension to the brainwashing techniques offered by our media.
