TV violence ‘exhausting’
NZPA London! if People in Britain, especially children are being ex-ij hausted by seeing too much f violence and sex on tele- ' vision and in films, accord-' s ling to a British doctor. i Violence was common 8 among young people because ‘ jthey could not unwind, men- ; tally or physically, from the 1 j excitement of watching vio- s
lence, said Professor Ivor Mills, an expert on glands. “If you go on stimulating; people like mad, it is not i surprising that when a child; goes to school next day he! or she finds it boring,” he. said. “A lot of people in our society have been stimulated i to the point where, if some-; thing frustrates them, they; are likely to be either ver-; bally or physically aggressive.”
