These questions all work from the assumption that* all* sex and violence on
TV is 'bad' and has a harmful effect on viewers. Who says sex and violence
on TV should be limited and why? For sure I might support some limits ion
some instances, I do have limits myself. I wouldn't want to see 120 Days
of Sodom on TV really. But I think you need to ask some questions about
your own assumptions before going ahead with this research.
