I agree that answers should be pertinent to the nature of the question. I think that a child's innocence negates the presumption that violence in and of itself is bad for the children. it always important to take it into context, since we always feel a need to place a label on everything - bad/good, girl/boy... a superhero beating up the bad guys isn't necessarily bad. but what about slap-stick comedy shows wherein the actual punch line is when a person gets whacked on the head?
it's already widely accepted that children do imitate what they see others do. yes it does make them a little bit more active since they would be likely to go jumping around chasing the bad guys. kung fu movies might actually teach them balance and self-defense.
I guess what interests most people is whether it is harmful for the children to get exposed to violence. well the bottom line there is that parents should explain to children which behavior are socially acceptable and which are not. it's easy for children to confuse what they see in television with what is in the real world. Do you think they would die to get the action figures and other toys if they knew they didn't really move on their own and that they really can't do what are shown in advertisements?

None at all; and if someone believes its a "positive" thing for children to become accustomed to seeing violence and being less impacted by it if they later see it on television or in real life, they are thinking more about the effect of being numbed by violence as opposed to the normal, natural, instinct of well adjusted people to find it revolting. There's nothing positive about being numbed to violence.

it usually inspires them to be more physically active, which helps lower their odds for obesity and all the health issues associated with it.
my goodness people.. he didn't ask to be preached to about the negatives here.. I think there was another question for that.. he asked about the positives.. and whether you like it or not there is good and bad to everything. Yes, the negatives far outweigh the good in my opinion on this one.. but there are some positive effects.

You really have to be careful with that one. It's sort of like the anti-drug advertisements these days: You want your kid to do the right thing, so you show him/her an example of what the wrong things are.

Nothing positive. Do you remember the Bobo doll experiment?

If they are inclined to be a bit hyper,i think it can make them react aggressively in some situations.

Children mimic what they see quite often so i would say it has no positive affect at all.

It means that if they encounter it they will not be as shocked as if they had not seen it. There are many negatives though.
