Media influence can be conceptualized as an effect that gains by the receiver. There are many research

regarding the media influence and effect by the past researcher and mostly it shows that media is

giving a negative impact. Violence and aggression from the media has increased now days because the

exposures produce violence in people and aggression among youth.

According to the experts, L. Rowell Huesmann

“that exposure to media violence causes children behave more aggressively and

affects them as adults years later." (Grohmam, p.16

From media, kids and adults learn and imitate. As Albert Bandura studies, children who

saw the model aggression in the television learn and imitate what they saw in the television.

This shows that psychological and physical behavior can be taught by what they repeatedly to

see.

According to Grimms, 2008 (pg 29) media effect exist in every part of the mass communication and they are multiple and manifest. It’s considered as the manifest because audiences can choice between watch or read the

medium. Any chosen materials can considered as media effects.

Five decades of research into the effects of exposure to violent television and

movies have produced a thoroughly documented and highly sophisticated set

of research findings. It is now known that even brief exposure to violent TV or

movie scenes causes significant increases in aggression, that repeated exposure of

children to media violence increases their aggressiveness as young adults, and

that media violence is a significant risk factor in youth violence

(Bushman & Huesmann, 2001; Huesmann et al., 2001).

Media is part of leaning process. The more youth has been exposed with aggression and

violence, more they learn to be aggressive. This becomes the risk factor for media to produce any

product that involving violence and aggression.
