Desensitization Theory and Sensitization Theory
There is a lot of mediated violence on T.V. The desensitization theory believes that the more violence viewers are exposed to in the media over a period of time, the less sensitive we become to it. The violence no longer seems to bother them or bothers them less than it did before.
In contrast the sensitization theory will be horrified by seeing certain mediated content and become more sensitive to violence.
