But nowadays I'd give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence.A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.

　　One of the first things that made me change my mind，several years ago，was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about.Her children were hitting each other much more than previously，without reason.When she talked to them，they would protest，“But that's what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a children's TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)

　　What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀) of the former President，and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this.(I didn't so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike，“I'd shoot him if I got the chance！”)

　　These incidents made me think of other evidence that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence.We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants.At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views.And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories，in movies and on television.This doesn't necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations.I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled，from childhood on.
