electronic media a leaing cause of violence in the society 

The media can largely be blamed for the worldwide increase in violence.
The complex age of elaborate laptops, portable color televisions in every room, and pocket radio the size of a basic calculator have all taken their toll on society. Today the world has a variety of problems. Violence is around the top of the list. A study of population showed homicide rates doubling within the 10 to 15 years after the introduction of television, even though television was introduced at different times in each site examined.
Violence in media is being used widely for entertainment purposes.
In an article published in the New York Times in 1998 it stated, “On average in 1997, one act of serious brutality was found for every 4 minutes of entertainment.” Today violence is a major part of video games, television and popular movies. Unfortunately, its an indisputable fact that violence sells, turn on the television during prime time and right away a number of gruesome programs amasses you from extreme wrestling, cartoon to CNN news
