This text was chosen as this is a mass media which has a big effect on children. WWE is broadcasted in 12 languages to over 130 countries. The attendances have been increasing in the live events which shows how popular the show is getting year by year. There could be a link between the rise of the attendance and the rise of the violence with children. wwe is known as sport entertainment, children love sport which is why they love wrestling as they see this as a sport without knowing the danger within the sport.

parents blame the media and media blame the parents. so who is it right?
