Information Literacy Activity 4

After looking over all of the research I realize that it is very important to find reliable resources on the web.  I think that their is so much information it is hard to sift through at times.  

The major findings I found through this first search was, yes their seems to be a correlation between violence on TV, and violent behavior displayed by children.  Children who watch violent television and video games typically engage in more violent behavior compared to those who do not.  I feel that this first preliminary search did not provide enough actual research studies.  It was mainly a summary of many research studies.

I would like to find some specific research studies.  I still do not at what age TV violence effects children the most (toddlers, children, teens).  I still do not think I have enough information to make an informed decision.  I think if I search academic databases such as Ebscohost or Academic Search Premier, I will find more reliable sources.

I did this preliminary quest for information without the use of academic databases.  I found this search to be quite frustrating.  Their is so much information, and much of what I found was either opinions from parents, or general information without good citations.  I will be glad to search more academic type of databases.
