Firstnet Tv Schedules
Testing with children has shown that watching television programs containing violence has no meaningful effects on them. The same cannot be said for adults. The TV program "24" is having a widespread effect on many adults. Once group of adults "24" is having a noticeable effect on is cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Despite being strongly advised by generals far outranking them that torture is ineffective in general and against military law, the prospective military officers remain persuaded that torture is effective. The program "24" has had the effect of overriding military discipline as outlined and stated by senior officers.
American troops in the field are similarly susceptible to the "24's" allure concerning torture. In a glass case in the office of the show's creator Joel Surnow there is an American flag once flown in Baghdad sent to him by an Army regiment stationed there. "24" is having such a noticeably undermining effect on military discipline and conduct that last in the Fall 2006, U. S. Army Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, dean of West Point, traveled to California to impress on Surnow and other producers and writers of the show the troublesome effect the show was having on cadets and throughout the rest of the military. Claiming a scheduling conflict, Surnow did not attend the meeting. But the meeting between Finnegan and creators of the show got nowhere anyway. Finnegan's informing the creators that when he told cadets in his West Point courses on the laws of war that torture was illegal, he often got the response, If torture is wrong, what about '24'?" The show producers responded with the pat rejoinder that "24" was only a TV show, dramatic entertainment, and based on fictional premises.
