The developmental textbook I'm using (Berg) says that the Canadian television industry has a voluntary code that requires the consequences of violence to be shown in all children's programs, as a result of a petition organized by a teenager in 1992 who believed that TV violence contributed to his sister's rape and murder, and signed by over 1 million people.
She also pointed out that American programs that violate the code slip through on Canadian cable TV. I'd like to discuss this voluntary code in my class, and am interested in thoughts of Canadian colleagues. While I doubt that few of you spend much time watching children's television, still I would expect there to be some general feeling across the land about whether or not the programs generally adhere to this code.
