Activism Quote by T Joseph Benziger
“Violence is taught systematically from various angles in the television serials and cinemas. The Police are shown as partnering with nasty politicians and criminals. Sadly, nobody thinks of their impact on the minds of the youth. What I have mentioned above is not the first of its kind; many such horrible things have happened and the culprits have also said that they were influenced by this or that film or serial. This is also not going to be the last. All the responsible people and institutions should realize that such apathy and inaction are quite detrimental to youth development.”
