Culture-
"This acceptance of violence can perpetuate the physical maltreatment of children." (39) This part of chapter two stood out to me a lot. I think that American's viewed violence as something funny and entertaining. This can be seen in the cartoon "Family Guy" where Peter, the father is always punching or performing violent acts on his daughter (Meg). In almost all episodes, Meg is seen either punched, killed or violently bullied. Many people find the violent performance on Meg as funny. The more violent the act the funnier it is. This is a great example on how child violence has become an acceptance culture in america. It is not viewed as wrong or weird if violence on kids are exposed on television. This has become an acceptable culture
